Kindred balance idea + I found a bug.

I've noticed that Kindred is a high reward with not that much to risk champion. I purpose a nerf to their passive that will either reset the cd on it if the market target kills them or the passive bonus %current health dmg on aa is given to the person that kills Kindred. Right now Kindred doesn't really have a weak point in the game, since her early game dmg is insane and her late game because of her passive is also insane. This change will make their early game a little weaker since if you mark someone and they kill you, they'll get the bonus dmg. This will make pulling of risky marks early on more dangerous for them since if they screw up, they'll be hurting their team. I got this idea from a similar hero from Dota called Legion Commander whose ult is similar to Kindred's passive; bonus dmg is given by killing someone. But unlike Kindred, Legion's bonus dmg is given to the winner of the dual. This sole factor of that ability makes her a very high risk reward hero in the game and raises her skill cap a ton. If these nerfs are applied to them in game, then Riot won't have to nerf their numbers, making good Kindred's stay around the same and bad ones suffer. It'll increase their skill cap and make her a riskier pick in ranked since then they'll just have to pick someone with a good early game to shut her down. But if they fail to shut her down, they'll suffer because of it. It'll make her almost like a ranged version of Nasus .

Also, I found a Khazix when playing against a Kindred with a Jax on my team. It appeared that their auto attacks** STILL HIT JAX **when he had his E active. This bug made us lose the game because Jax didn't know that her autos would still hit so he kept trying to dual her like that and got killed doing so.

Last note: Do you think it'll be fair to make Kindred's passive not work with lifesteal? Like make it so only the dmg from her base dmg and dmg from her items applied the lifesteal? I think it'll be fair because no one should be able to out-heal DrMundo with just a item 3072 and a item 3153 .

"After playing Kindred literally 0 times I feel I am qualified to discuss balance issues 2 days after her release"

Your entire post just became irrelevant because of this one horribly wrong comment.

Kindred's Q isnt an auto attack
