Can we just think about Kindred for a second?

I am personally really excited for Kindred and will be buying them as soon as they come out. But lets talk about that ult for a second. Here is my vision of a horrible, horrible future for bot lane. Picture this if you will. You go into a game hoping for a fun time bot lane with your duo friend who you have been practicing adc with because you decided to pick it up. You see the enemy team has a Kalista adc, and a Kindred. Where is Kindred going? The excitement and wonder of where the heck this enemy Kindred is going eats at you in the loading screen. You get in still thinking about it "Top? Jungle? Mid?" you think to yourself. Then you get to bot lane. With mounting horror you realize it is Kindred support. Levels 1 through 5 go relatively evenly and you start to feel goo about the lane. Then you hit level 6 and you realize the hell that you have slowly been moving towards. Kalista initiates with an ult and Kindred knocks you and your lane partner up. You start the fight and you realize joyfully that you are winning because of your supports heals. Then Kindred ults, and it all goes to shit. You quickly get into her ult and for that amount of time neither of you do damage because everyone is low health. Kindred's ult ends and you think you can burst Kalista down quickly with an outplay. Instant double kill Kalista. As soon as Kindred's ult is over she uses rend and the insane amount of spears you and your support have in you kill you instantly. You realize you had no chance from the start. it was all false hope. There is no God. FYI I know this wouldn't necessarily happen all the time I am just saying if you could get it to work then it would be nasty and really disheartening to the enemy bot lane

Except that in order to put enough spears into both people to kill them both she would have needed to finish her Runaan's meaning she also would have very little damage and I don't think Kindred's ult is long enough to let her stack enough spears.

You can just run away from Kalista as soon as you see she is ulting, knock Kalista out of the Kindred ult and kill her, kill them once both of their ults are on cooldown, take advantage of their weak early game and shut them down before they can even kill you with that combo, etc.

Kindred could be good with a healer support. Ult with Kindred when low, have the heal support heal you all the way back up lol!

To comment furthermore, what about a Tahm Kench escape using Tahm Kench's ult when using Kindred's if low? LOL Nice get away for you both.
