Away from a gameplay standpoint, too, Wolf features so fucking little in Kindred's kit it's sad. Annie/Tibbers or Daisy/Ivern feel like more of dual champions or even just Daisy/Tibbs feel like more of characters than Wolf does. Hell, Yorick's Maiden talks to him (AKA is part of his VO) and again, feels like it does more.
Why do my Spiderlings on Elise, or my Voidlings on Malzh feel more like their own characters than Wolf? At best, Wolf feels like the little devourer spirit wolf that used to follow you around and nip people's heels when you chased them. At worst, he just feels like some sort of projectile ability. I use "She" when talking about them, because c'mon, we all know I'm talking about Lamb. If Elise's spiderlings or Ivern's Daisy don't count as a "they" when talking about the champion, I hardly see why Wolf should.
Going back to Kindred's kit. It is incredibly incoherent and kind of themeless, and lends itself to bland gameplay in the current iteration, unless, of course, it's made incredibly strong. Why doesn't her Q proc her E? Sure, her W and Q are technically synergistic since W lowers Q cooldown, but what do they really DO together? She's got kind of a theme of fighting in one area she marks as her own, but even that is pretty loose. She's got a series of 4 cool abilities that only marginally synergize well with each other and kind of honestly feel slapped together with not a whole real lot of thought to how they work in unison, and then she's got a passive that's either too punishing to her when she's not in a strong state (Right now it's feelsbad because your early is honestly not the best for taking early marks. And the freaking 8 second mark timer.) or feels bad on your opponent's part when she is strong (Not only can this champion duel me level 3 and possibly kill me, she'll inherently scale for lategame by duelling me and counterjungling me.)
Honestly I kind of expect her to go the way of someone like Yorick. She'll be forgotten or pushed off for years only to finally receive a rework after she's become a meme. (and I do think she's up for becoming the next "bad champion meme" after Aatrox gets updated.)
Look, I might sound harsh about Kindred, but it's only because I LOVE the lore of this champion. I LOVED how they teased her, I LOVED the story they put out, I LOVED the idea of the choice between Lamb's Arrow or Wolf's Teeth. I LOVED the idea of a dual champion, AND of a marksman jungler. Not to mention the visual design, and how much personality lamb and wolf both have. I'm so harsh about Kindred's design because I WANT TO LIKE PLAYING THIS CHAMPION. But just... she feels bad to play, and probably felt bad to play against when she was strong. Her kit is trash wrapped in that shiny lore and visual design paper.
