Kindred Rework/Update

I'm a Kindred main and I'd like to see her get either a rework or an update. She hasn't really seen any attention in ages. Her kit is old, her mark system can easily be setup to camp her, and her ult is more of a liability than it is an asset. Plus, she's only got 2 skins that aren't as flashy as the recent themes.

You could try 2 help riot rather just pointing out her surface lvl issues like everyone has been doing. How about explaining her core issues: like being the only infinitely scaling champion that has 2 kill champions 2 scale and thus has her normal scaling stunted to compensate making her inherently feast/famine; like being a champion that is encouraged to counter jg and then isn't given any of the tools needed to explicitly counter jg (there are non counter jg champs who have better tools); like the fact that there's anti-syngery between all her abilities each trying to pull the kit in a different direction - the Q suggest a highly mobile playstyle that can hit multiple targets, while W encourages staying in one spot, discourages leaving and yet enables Q, E is only single target doesn't synergize with W or Q in any way and worse has a dmg cap on jg camps, and R saves units when she's all about killing and AGAIN locks her 2 one place. And I didn't even talk about Wolf not having agency effectively destroying thier theme.

Or/ you can suggest solutions 2 these problems. And if u want I can get into solutions too. But let's not sit here and be useless when u see a Problem, riot and everyone else can see it, pointing it out doesn't do anything new. U want the problem solved? Be apart of the solution.

Simply put, each ability is fine but they don't work together. W gives Q CDR but then reduces the range of mobility Q grants. E requires 3 AA and neither W nor Q can stack it.

So for the full anti combo, u get pretty gud mobility in an easily escapable area, that most leave immediately, which negates ur mobility. U do have a way 2 slow them with E but that requires that u stop using Q. An then her ult doesn't do dmg and it again restricts her mobility.

Riot should work on fixing that.
