Riot should bring back kindred`s charge mechanic

wormblade·9/16/2016, 11:19:03 AM·107 votes·6,450 views

i recently came across the idea of kindred being given back their charge mechanic passive on Wolfs frenzy that would give a small burst of move speed maybe even decaying move speed for a very short duration on basic attacks when at full (100) charges it would reward skilled players for kitting and make early fights slightly more manageable... Also i really miss the sound and effect the old passive used to make. i shared this idea among some high Elo kindred mains on reddit and they all seem to agree with the idea, redKind suggested to have the move speed scale per level similar to how the old passive heal did. even if this is too much, a slight move speed buff is really all that kindred needs

The whole idea of Kindred's low movement speed was that their Q was spammable enough alongside E's slow to be able to stick to a target. However, the Q cooldown nerf made that idea pretty much null, so I personally think a base movement speed buff needs to happen. If it were turned into a charge mechanic, even cooler, but I highly doubt the idea of that happening.

Yeah, some extra Movement Speed would be really nice :)

Or reverting the E slow nerf is a good idea too. It made the ganks to much worse...

Most of us do not really want huge buffs - we just miss the sound and effect of W's heal. It was a really fun and nice part of the champion that shouldn't have been taken away :(

Agreed, this or a general basemovementspeed increase.

I like the idea, kindred was fun because of all the little things you got to manage, feels like the changes dumbed down the play style a little, the changes are decent don't get me wrong, but she feels a little less fun to me now. Kindred

Movement speed buff in terms of this or just increase in base movement speed should be fine

I honestly think the heal would be fine if they returned it on champions-only. +5 MS and +some base armor would really help imo.

Only buff I want is ms from 325 to 330 base.

fuck no. she already has a 52% winrate overall in the higher divisions.

she doesn't need shit right now.

Seriously, why kindred mains are so thirsty for buffs? She have a 52% winrate plat+, what do you want more?

yes a movespeed increase is all she needs. IMO it will be more of a QoL change then a buff. she just moves so ridiculously slow
