Kindred QOL buff

EDIT: Couldn't think of a better wording to use other than "buff". This won't affect her damage or her performance besides adding easier communication for Kindred players.

Recently been playing kindred a bit, but there's something that I think would be of benefit that could easily be implemented is the following: Let kindred alt-click her passive to send a team message about who her target is. This would be very helpful for helping either focusing certain people down in a teamfight or easier coordination for ganks. Personally, the sigil that appears above people's heads if they're targeted isn't really easy to see, and think that this could really help improve coordination in matches for who kindred needs to get an assist on to complete another hunt. I know that this isn't the mode everything is balanced around, but this would be of great use especially in ARAM where teamfights are constant and you might be coming back from base while your team's about ready to dive that 50% viktor and you wanna tell them to wait for you before they do.

It would be much faster to be able to ping her passive and send a quick team message like "Kindred Mark of the Kindred target: Taric" or "Kindred Mark of the Kindred target: not chosen" or "Kindred Mark of the Kindred- (cooldown remaining)" instead of typing it out.

Not gonna lie, I was a bit scared when you said "buff" and "Kindred", but this is a very nice addition. Great Idea. +1

This is the prime definition of QoL and i hope they give this to kindred mains.

If only katarina mains read this and finally understood what a QoL buff is.

Might even get your teams to focus the carries down instead of the tanks. I like it.

It'd be nice if pinging the passive also indicated the time till Wolf's next mark came up. It's without any HUD timer (although the claimed champion dials could benefit from a countdown when they're nearly expired) and it'd be nice to alert my allies when I might be adjusting my path to poach and gank.

Also, fix Wolf marking a camp one second after I clear it.

I don't think it will pass, they are not popular so Riot probably don't even read this post, when they see Kindred in the title :/ (Next time just bait them put Akali/Lux/Ahri in the title) I still want this tho :D

Wonderful idea. It'll help a lot with the mark and overall gameplay!

While they're working on letting Kindred be able to ping passives, maybe they can swing by Draven and grant this QoL buff to him as well?

Don't play him myself, but I know they've been asking for this for quite some time now
