Kindred Ult Rework

Hi guys! I feel like Kindred's ult is thematically good, but mechanically useless. Before you comment, "Oh, you just don't know how to use it then." I certainly do. However, it is the only ult in the game, I believe, that actually HELPS the enemy team. It reads, "Keeps all living things inside alive", and I disagree with that. However, like I said, thematically, it is good for her kit. They should change it, here is my proposal:

Lamb's Respite: Activate: Lamb blesses the ground she walks on, creating a trail behind her as she walks. Allied living things cannot be reduced under 10% of their max health (that part is unchanged except for allies only). When this ability is activated, all unmarked enemy champions near kindred gain a Mark of the Kindred for a short duration, (Personally idc about the heal at the end, but hey, it can be in there also.)

So! Make her have a traveling life saving ally buff, as she goes in, and allow her to have the ULTIMATE hunt on enemy champions. This would allow her to catch up in games also when the enemy jungler is camping her marks and she just cant seem to get ahead of them. Potentially gets 5 marks if she hits every enemy champion, and that would do great things for kindred as a whole.

I like the ult but Kindred needs a rework.

The marking all enemies isn't a bad idea. But earning a mark should remove the other 4 marks. Kindred is balanced around that passive CD a lot. You can't ruin it like that. Also, keeping only allies alive is a huge buff for a champion that doesn't need a buff.

BTW if you think kindred's R is mechanically useless you REALLY don't know how to use it.

Watch a couple kindred guides from streamers/pros and you will soon understand how fucking OP that ultimate is.
