How Kindred Should Work in All-For-One

Ok, so I know that a lot of people are going to find this broken because of how it could be abused, but that's kinda the point of All for One's silliness to begin with.

The way Kindred's passive works right now gimps the 5 Kindred really bad.

Only one mark spawns on the map at a time, and that means only 1 kindred gains access to the stack even if every Kindred does damage to it. This needs to change.

There are two options, and I'm highly favoring the one that makes it more fun:

  1. 5 marks spawn, each Kindred spawning a separate mark and each goes on their own CD so there aren't infinite stacks in the jungle camps. Any mark could be taken by any Kindred, however you can't tell which mark is yours inherently. This is the one I feel we should go with.

  2. Every time a mark is acquired, a new one instantly spawns. If we're not going to get 5 separate marks, this one just makes sense. The idea that with FIVE Kindreds on the Field of Justice, it doesn't make sense that a single Kindred procs the passive of all 5... that's just bad. This is my least favorite option, but still decent.

  3. I guess an absurdly broken version (thought up whilst typing this) could be used, where if any Kindred pops a mark, all 5 get it... and in that sense you could keep the CD the same and not worry about each Kindred having their own marks. This would force the enemy team to pay more attention to the jungle camps or risk buffing every single Kindred on the enemy team. This is the 2nd best option in my opinion.

Would love to see this done for the next round of A41, Rito. Let me know what you guys think.

Giving only one Kindred all the marks = one Kindred with 3k range LUL
