@Riot Kindred's early power is pathetic but I've got a solution!

You fixed some stuff with this champion by buffing the way marks spawn on camps. However, it's not so easy when it comes to fighting for these "objectives" in early game as Kindred's early power is just pathetic. This champ has no chance winning a duel with any of current junglers (unless they are stupid) because every single jungler can outdamage and outrun them (making early kiting almost impossible with 4 sec CD on Q in the W circle). Can't You for example make W area a bit more favorable for Kindred? You took 7 armor from them which is huge when it comes to early trades... How about giving it back to Kindred when Lamb remains in the W area? It still has some counterplay and makes early dueling somewhat possible. Please, make Kindred great again!

A better way would be making it so whenever 'wolf' bites a enemy, it could have a debuff that kindred could sustain with autos or just 'extend' it by a few seconds, possibly as a Armor debuff or just make it a sustain that kindred can get whenever wolf is used to attack a enemy with W, maybe E too. It could help to add in more to her life/death sort of design so her R isn't the only thing that fits on the life part.

The problem with the debuff is if it doesnt have that sustain it might not 'last long enough' since a enemy would likely just flash or run outta the circle to avoid wolf's debuff/heal sustain for kindred, hence 'sustain by auto attacks', Kindred ultimately needs a side of sustain or of shred to compliment her so she has better means to ganking and 'jungle dueling' since unlike most of the 'norm' junglers who have hard root/stuns or disruptive abilities (grave's smoke screen for example so he can easily setup for massive dmg whombo'blasting).

Really want my jungle waifu to shine, Kindred EZ best Jungler in terms of theme'matics i still say.

I don't get why this thread got down-voted... Graves does similar thing when oneshoting people but Kindred must be squishy and vulnerable while being classified as marksman too. What...
