Why do I like Kindred.

Mainly, it's not about the champion itself but about Kindred's interaction with the jungle through the marks and their interaction with the "Prey selection". Honestly I think that's by far the best jungler design in league of legends since the begining. It doesn't metter if Kindred is Op, Up or Overloaded, let's be real, pretty much every single new champion is overloaded and it seems that Riot will go forward that direction with every single one in the future and we have to deal with it since the old ones will also get "updated" sooner or later. As for the jungle itself, I think camps should have more interaction with the junglers giving them some kind if unique buffs instead of the current ones. New jungle teaser is out, with that voice speaking to Gromp, Blue and Krugs with the respect like they aren't just a monsters but in fact, anciant beings, heck, Gromp was refered as a "KING" if I am not misstaken right? Instead if just killing Gromp for XP and Gold,as an EX King he could give a jungler specific kind of PVE oriented buff to encourage counterju gling and "conquering" the other Gromp teritorry from the enemy side and BANG, it could give you something in return, maybe a longer lasting blue buff or some extra stuff on smite agains champions? Maybe a quest to kill specific laner for extra XP or gold? I have no idea, I may be talking BS here but I hope you got the point. :)

Take a look at the Drake changes? Why don't we get something similar but less worthy from killing camps? Different kind of small buffs as they rise on level? Something that aint gonna have a huge OP inpact to the game but in fact, something that is gonna give the personality to the jungle csmps. Red and Blue, as well as Gromp look like ancients and they should speak with the jungler during the battle and not just mindlessly fight.

Imagine Gromp teling to Kha'Zix that he's nothing but an insect and a food for him or Wolves getting really mad when they see Nidalee or Rengar because they are cats, wolfs could even do bonus damage to Cat like champions, etc.

Isn't it cool?

I wouldn't like specific interactions with specific champions that changes gameplay, but I wouldn't mind special interactions hidden like tahm dancing with rift scuttle or popstar ahri dancing with blue buff.

As for being rewarded for encouraging counter jungling, idk if that meta would be great, since some champions are just way too well built for counter jungling while others are built for passively farming. I'd be interested to see it in action though.

Yes, I wasn't talking anout any kind of big changes that would drastically change the gameplay but just the changes that would encourage counterjungling and make jungle kinda more "alive", just like they did with Kindred's interaction with camps. I bately counterjungled even when I was platinum until I bought Kindred srsly. :D

I love Kindred too, every time I jungle I go with Kindred. Dreat design, voice, skills. Too bad they got nerfed that badly, but Riot started to notice that and trying to buff them in PBE.

Exactly, that is by far one of the best Riots designs ever. Elise and Kha'Zix are somewere near as well but not as fun and badass as Kindred. It may be because there is a story called Aska i Vuk (Aska is the name of the little lamb and Vuk means Wolf) written by one of the most famous Yugoslavian writter. Storry is about the lamb named Aska who meet the Wolf in the forest so she was forced to dance all day and night in front of a wolf to entertain him before her mother arrived to save her. :) That's the storry of my childhood. Kindred is for me more than a champion.
