Crazily, commenting on a contentious comment cements the commonality of said comments content. The combination and continuity of comment composition conditionally with complete compliance to the core creed creates a confined conclusion. A compulsion to compete is commendated by the comedic comfort of complacence. Comprehend?

Why can't Graves have his cigar?

Roudhouse7 votes

It causes cancer. They don't want that in his lore.

Kha Büg5 votes

Cigars cause cancer and graves can't have a cig... oh wait

Gurman8r7 votes

But DrMundo can inject himself with steroids? You know that causes.

Roudhouse6 votes

Yes. Blue tongues and purple skin. And violent intentions. And speech problems. And the arise of feelings to throw an infinite amount of cleavers at people. Surely much more acceptable than a cigar.

The Hollow Ones6 votes

Shotguns cause immediate violent death. Graves has a shotgun, maybe they should redact that from his lore too? Maybe give him taser instead? No wait, those can cause death too, hmm damn I guess we'll just have to remove Graves from the game huh?

Rendarkan5 votes

Now that you mention it Riven causes immediate death. She should be removed too.

TurtleStacks2 votes

But gragas can drink alcohol and have a cigar.

Rendarkan2 votes

Yasuo drinks Sake when he bases. Spamming it makes him an alcoholic. Therefore League of Legends promotes chronic alcoholism.

LordForrest1 votes

Nope, its milk. Riot flat out stated it was, because he doesn't drink.

Rendarkan2 votes

That explains why I hate this champion. He drinks that vile disgusting liquid from cow tits. Human's are the only creatures who drink milk past infancy.

After seeing last nights eclipse of the earth to the moon I noticed the moon was half shaded (after the blood moon phase) and could only think about Kindred's teaser of "They are coming."

Is there anyway you can make wolf feel more included with Kindred's kit?

DavidTheBest1 votes

He was included in one of the skill.

Raize1 votes

Well, he was included in the end of her E too. >.> That's a whole two skills.. Dude... That's almost half a kit. D:

AND YOU NEVER KNOW. MAYBE KINDRED'S CRIT WILL HAVE WOLF DOING SOMETHING.

Rendarkan2 votes

Actually Wolf is included in all but her R. He periodically checks jungle camps. Interacts with her Q some. Is her W. And has a third hit effect on her E.

Only in Kindred's ult is he not included.

FlameHalbrdOkido4 votes

Wolf is used in 2 of the abilities, not to mention half the passive. But I think that I may see what you are getting at... Would you prefer it if Wolf was in all of the abilities? Or maybe in control...

It would be pretty darn cool if when W: Wolf's Frenzy was activated that player control could switch to Wolf. Then Lamb would "attack targets within the area autonomously, prioritizing Wolf's attack target." Of Course staying true to the ability, as Wolf you wouldn't be able to leave the area that is your "territory." But you should be able to freely switch control between Wolf and Lamb by toggling W until the ability ends.

P.S. This means that you do give up the spammable Q's and E while playing as Wolf, but you would get to play as him. And activating W after landing the 3rd strike of E would theoretically add another cool dash to the kit.

FluffyLittleFox1 votes

Sort of like Elise, but with 2 personas, rather than one spider...

DocPsycho2 votes

Here's my thought. Instead of the heal ulti. When you hit R you can set Lamb in a small radius to patrol (think Kalista's W). While she is AAing anything that enters that area you control Wolf. You have a finite amount of time to "sniff" (Wolf can sense champions nearby similar to Rek'Sai) out opposing champs. If you can AA them with Wolf instead of dmg Wolf chomps their leg and CC's them also they are revealed on the map. Now your control returns to Lamb. You then have a few seconds to click R again and jump in on the opposing champ (ala TF)and do base dmg plus (AP or AD not sure which she scales with) percentage or if the timer cools down Wolf returns. Now if you get a kill with this Wolf gains small bonuses to the ulti. Larger reveal radius. More time to "sniff" out opponents. More Dmg percentage when Lamb dives in. And others.

If Wolf dies, how would Lamb have a friend who is always there?

if both die then how do you kill yorick

Klapperich2 votes

Are you guys looking for Kindred to be a game changing jungler?

ĘbbAndƒlowey3 votes

She seems to be viable. But her "Current Health % dmg" is a little awkward. She doesn't seem to hard to master for a new champion with unique mechanics. It feels like playing Vayne jungle without the super OP Devourer Bolts (reminder, devourer is now every 4th hit.) I'd recommend a Warrior into 2 damage, 3 tank path. I'd recommend her damage to be BotRK and Youmoos. For the tank, I'd go with whatever your team needs. A spirit Visage improves your ult, so if you need some MR it's a definite buy. So on and so forth until you finish your build. With something like this, she can be pretty amazing. But her suggested build holds her back imo.

Rendarkan3 votes

I think it depends how she gets played. She seems like a good overall game length ganker but lacks power spikes. Compared to say MasterYi who has a deathly Late game play and Vi who has punishing early game ganks. Kindred seems to be more of a psychological terror, and you possibly could just target the jungler for constant vision on him for you and your team. Knowing that he is about to gank you renders his ability to jump you useless. If you want to go in for a kill simply swap it and target the victim then go in for the kill. Or you could just team gank one right off the bat if you really wanna be a douchesnozzle.

Ferus and Ferrum3 votes

You don't get persistent vision of marked targets. That would be incredibly overpowered. When they say everyone can see the mark of the kindred, they mean that both enemies and allies can see who is being marked at that time. Think of it like garen's villain mechanic where his target is next to his hp bar and the target has a sword over their head.

Chymai4 votes

I can see how she would be viable in the jungle but with her health regen ability I think she would also be a good adc, because she can stay in lane longer. So you can get a more damage heavy support for a kill lane rather than one that heals like soraka or sona. Also, when you target a champion before a gank, the enemy will see the mark and if they are smart probably wont push. And because she is squishy, it would be a lot harder to perform a successful gank. I will defiantly try her adc before I try her jungle.

IRT3hShazbot1 votes

A lot of the new champions lately have abilities that affect your team and the enemy at the same time, often with equal effect. Is this Riot's way of messing with the meta through alteration of common teamfight interactions?

Also, I'm curious to know how they think of new abilities. Do they have a bucket list of things they'd like to throw in, but are waiting for the right champion to attach them to, or do they think of them on the fly as they create new champion concepts? I ask this because, thematically, Kindred's ult feels a little out of place. Mechanically it makes sense, but if Kindred is Valoran's grim reaper, then why do/does it/she/he/they have an ability that delays death for everyone?

Kronoshifter2464 votes

Except that's exactly what a grim reaper does. It decides who dies and when. Powers over death doesn't just mean you kill people. You can unkill people too.
