Lamb here, wolf kinda feels left out in the rain. Are there any ways you could improve kindreds kit, and gameplay to better include wolf? Currently kindred has only one real decision tree. Am I fed? If yes, kill enemy squishes in two hits. If not, try to get stacks.

Maybe if kindred started the game with 1 mark, and the hunt spawned a bit less rng based. Have it so it marks each camp once, up to 5 stacks, baron would be #6.

I think Kindreds E could be reworked so that it features Wolf better. Currently it feels lacklustre, and very dependant on being in auto range. I'd also like if you could improve wolfs visuals, because he tends to get lost in large team fights as just a black wisp. If his hair had actual texture, or didn't look like nocturns tail wisp.

How do you feel the current state of Kindred is? Better/worse than release? What changes would you make if you were to relaunch Kindred. Or just make her more fun to play for everyone.

Well Kindred is exclusively a Marksman champion by role. Which means that all she does is deal damage, so the feast or famine point that you mentioned, really makes sense to her design.

They had actually changed Wolf's mark so that it is less RNG sometime in the last few months, so I am not sure how much more you want. I wouldn't be opposed to saying that she already has a single stack however. Having such low base AD and attack speed at level 1 makes it a little difficult to edge any ground early on without roaming for the first 1 or 2 camps that Wolf marks.

As for Wolf's interractions, .. I am not really sure how they could make him seem more involved without changing up her kit enough to be considered an actual rework. Otherwise, any changes to make him "seem" more interactive would simply be visual.

One thing I could think of that may help would be to change their W so that Wolf continues to guard that territory for the full duration, even if Lamb leaves the territory. If she leaves, she could only be able to cast her Q on reduced cooldown. If Wolf were to continue to guard that space, this ability can become more of a zoning tool and it would help to make Wolf feel more like a distinct character.
