Hello Riot, what about Kindred?

So Riot, have you forgotten about Lamb and WolfKindred ? This was a highly anticipated champion by not only myself, but many that was looking forward to this great champion concept. I see that you blew your "Creativity-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX8iSobsKTY - budget" on bard that year. . . And look how he turned out. . All you really gave to Kindred was a story ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re62M7eRM7Q ) and a song with some hints here and there; however, the idea of the very essence of death entering the game and in the way they are portrayed created a lot of hype from the community. . . They had a bit of an overpowered kit to begin with, I give you that, but now I feel as though that you have nerfed them into an unstable territory and that you NEED to rework their kit to give them back their feeling of wholesomeness. . . Least they fall behind with all the new things that you are doing with champions. . . I thought the hop over walls mechanic was special in the jungle. . . But look at Talon now. BUT I DIGRESS! The problem with Kindred is that it mostly feels more so Lamb and not Wolf and it gets a bit iffy in some occasions with the use of their kit as if they were not completely ready to be released. . . Will you be fixing this? How?

Somehow I don't get the point here... Kindred is actually sitting on a winrate of 50,83%. This is good in my opinion, especially since Kindred isn't the easiest champ to play out there.

About the creativity stuff: In my opinion, Kindred is a masterpiece of design. The double entity, Wolf being the feelings and Lamb the knowledge, cruel vs peaceful death..... Okay they didn't give Kindred a large animation like Bard. But why should they? I think the short teaser for Kindred was just awesome BECAUSE it was short. It was just a quick legend about the origin of the death myth in runeterra and felt perfectly in place. It wasn't just watching a video like Bard. Not an action spectacle like Ekko. But it was fun on it's own way. You were feeling like sitting there listening to an elder telling you a story and you imagined that story in your head. It gave me shivers.

I think Kindred is in a perfectly fine spot right now,tbh....

Only changes Kindred needs is Wolf just feels there. Could stand for Wolf to be more involved other than he marks targets and used in 1 move.
