When can we talk about Kindred's passive and how Senna's overshadows hers?
Anyone else feel like Senna's passive is what Kindred's should have been? I mean they're arguably the same passive to an extent but Senna's is ten times easier to farm up.

Yeah, Kindred's Passive sucks... the mechanics suck, the bonuses are confusing, and take a lot of stacks to have meaning. But i dunno when or if they'll ever do some work on Kindred. But their old passive for sure made a lot more sense, even if it always had the awful hunt minigame.
Kindred's passive boosts their whole kit and the first 4 marks give 75 range and from there you get 25 each 4. For me i don't find it that hard to get stacks on kindred even if i don't play them in the jungle and you can get like 8 stacks at like 15 min in the game. Senna has to wait and farm you cant force the passive to go out any faster. Senna's passive could be easier but kindred's is kind of faster depending on how the match goes of course. Anyways on what i think about passives... No I like kindred's passive atm and senna can have her own thing she has but also having 0.6 - 0.8 attackspeed through the whole game sucks imo even though ur Q is technically an auto. But i only played senna one time so what do i know my opinion i think her late game isnt really that strong compared to kindred's late game.
If you gave Kindred Senna's passive, you'd end up Kindred being either a solo laner or severely underpowered. Also the only similarity between the two is that they... well, stack, that's all.
For comparison: Senna gets +1 AD with every stack and she needs 20 stacks to activate further buffs at the cost of not being able to gain AD through levels. Kindred has two main sources of stacking: jungle creep and champions. Kindred's boosts are more potent, generally enhancing her abilities. Every 4 stacks she gains extra range, which also includes ability range. There is also a strategic/mind game aspect of Kindred's passive, because it can confuse the enemy, hence why it is visible who Kindred is targetting. Kindred is mechanically and strategically a complicated jungler, so the comparison bleeds out.
Let's get on-hit Kindred back! I liked them that way, because a ranged duelist who sucked early but scaled very well was really cool.
kindred has much more consistent dmg though so power budget has been accounted for.
