Can Kindred's Ult be improved?

It's one of the most worthless ults. Preserving your enemies life fundamentally backfires.

Gotta admit that's a cool play; but it's so uncommon.

I don't say its useless, but i don't understand why they made it self cast only.. I really wonder why the change from casting on allies and neutral monsters to only being self casted

Riot said something about skill; it would stop experienced Kin players from saving mispositioned allies by simply clicking and having them actually getting to the ally to include them in the no death zone, while it would help newer players by making it a simple press and use instead of having to press and then chose themselves as the target usually (I can testify for this, I was a newer Kin player around the time just before ult was changed to self-cast only).

That makes me sad I wish they left it the same, It doesn't take long to learn the ult and its taking away from the experienced players. But hey.

Because it was broken. It's still strong now, but I main Tristana and if I can, I save my ult for when Kindred ults. whether the kindred is on my team or the enemy team, I can push people out of it and kill them by proccing E with a final auto attack after casting my ult. Works every time.

Question is--if you are running from enemies, they group you, and you drop your ult, what do you really get accomplished?

I'd call it one of the strongest ults in the game. Learn to use it correctly. If used correctly, it's very hard for the enemy team to play around it. It's called the game changer for a reason.

And what's correct usage? Securing dragon? It's not great in a team-fight or a 1v1. If you are low health, you are screwed.
