For making Kindred Riot. Kindred is still incredibly new, but they are a champion that I feel like I really "click" with so to speak. Their thematic of being death and two parts of the same whole are incredibly cool. While I think wolf could have been slightly better represented in gameplay, I still think you did a good job with them.

Speaking of game play, I love the different builds you can use with them! As a jungler, both devourer and warrior are good for them. And I kike the idea of attack speed focused ADCs. They feel like a unique mix of kalista and vayne without feeling nearly as oppressive. They have clear strengths (permanent percent based damage) but with clear weaknesses (have to invade / mark targets who know to ward up and be careful) to get that damage in the first place. That is good design since it rewards the player for doing well, while having clear weaknesses the enemy can exploit.

Anyway, this isn't do much about balance as it is about how they feel. I think you (Riot) did an amazing job with this champion, hope to see more like them! I know you guys get a lot of hate / criticism (some of it deserved imo!) but I think it is also important to point out when you guys have done something right.
