Kindred changes on PBE

Dance of Arrows (Q) Casting W or using Q while in W zone now reduces cooldown to 4/3.5/3/2.5/2 seconds from 2 seconds.

Wolf's Frenzy (W): Duration increased to 8.5 seconds from 8 seconds Wolf Attacks now do 50% increased damage to monsters

I'm not sure when it became ok to trade QoL and fun from a kit (high mobility) to nonsensical numbers (random jungle damage on W). I understand Kindred is overpowered right now, but there's gotta be something riot can do without gutting the living hell out of the champion AND make them substantially less fun to play. I personally am one of the few people in high elo who is successful with lanedred and am pretty disappointed I literally just won't be able to make it work anymore. But i'm also shocked that instead of trimming kindred's insane bases and adding more scaling, they decided to just flip her early game on its head, instantly turning her from one of the strongest early game champions, to one of the weakest and most vulnerable with no help with scaling to compensate.

tl;dr I'm concerned kindred has just been turned into walking ultimate.
