Kindred. Mark disappearing while you are already taking it must be the worst feeling in the game

Sometimes when a camp gets marked you just can't go there and take it immediately. You have to wait, spot enemy jungler, have lane priority in case enemy show up and combining all this with Kindred's rather weak early game and dueling power we get to a conclusion that taking the Mark aka counterjungling can be a hard and punishing job for Kindred. Also don't forget that you don't see right away when the marked camp was already taken so in addition you have to hope that when you go there you won't meet enemy jungler who have just killed it. And sometimes when you actually get to go there and are half way done with killing the marked camp the Mark just disappear because it was there for too long. And I tell you that it feels horrible. Kindred has no way to tell when the Mark is about to change camp, like for example Bard can see his chimes go red on map when they are about to expire. Am I expected to watch the time every time the Mark show up? Kindred passive is quite complicated already, we have to know and remember what can be marked based on number of stacks we already have and the time between marks, so what I suggest to make it all less frustrating is one of these:

  • make the Mark on the map change color like Bard's chimes when it's about to expire soon. Visible only to Kindred or to everyone, whichever is more balanced
  • make so that when you are already fighting with marked camp the time of the Mark is freezed and it can't disappear

I don't agree, according to the match, it can be difficult to invade a Udyr, Lee Sin, Jarvan. But at the same time Kindred's range makes her very abusive if your champion is not an Early game duelist, see Zac Amummu, Eve, etcetera.

that's counter-balanced by the no cd passive lamb marks with the f keys

I've never seen their mark just expire before. Someone kills it every time for me.
