Kindred: Riot running out with original ideas?

Another champion with Dash, a useless porcher knife passive. That forces you to go in the enemy jungle. Basically a Janna ult. And short range.

Only thing I give this champion is the look.

The kit as a whole is a terrible terrible idea.

Another champion with Dash,

Dashing is hardly a mechanic that is supposed to be unique, so let's stop pretending it is.

a useless porcher knife passive. That forces you to go in the enemy jungle.

Counterjungling is simply more productive on this champion; it isn't necessary to perform well. Nunu can farm just as well in his own jungle, but he accomplishes more by doing it in his enemy's.

Basically a Janna ult.

His ultimate is extremely niche. It does not knock enemies back; in fact, it also heals them as well. It has good synergy with a Janna ult, but does not perform the same function. A closer comparison would be Bard ult, and even that is quite different in terms of how you use it (more for catching enemies out and changing a 5v5 to a 3v5).

Your arguments are not very well thought-out and I advise you to put more effort into your post before claiming something is "unoriginal".

Hm, not really. The AOE "Shallow Grave" ability is a huge step for riot. AOE and Enemy/Ally Healing and invulnerability is a huge step for teamfights. The "Select your own enemy" thing is also new. Marksmen right now need 2 things to be viable, mobility and hp shred. This is so that they can try moving ADc's to other positions in order to bring maybe a bruiser bot (to fight mordekaiser). Again, the first squishy AD carry to be viable in the jungle, unique.

This is your opinion. I am really hyped, because they finally released a champion with a good idea and a lot of tools in his kit. I was really disappointed from tham, because his kit is too simple.

Btw in which way is the kindred ult comparable to a janna ult?

If you don't like the champs, uninstall - Simple!
