Kindred's Dance of Arrows (Increased Leap)

Hello,

I used to main Kindred, and still play with them once in a while, however Kindred is champion known for its fragility. Having some thoughts on it, and thinking on how they could be improved in a way the balance would be kept, I thought about keeping the damage just the way it is, but simply increasing the distance you can leap when using your Q (Dance of Arrows).

It would provide not more than a simple mobility increase and disengaging capacity. I'd say 0.5 more than what it is would do the job, as they would be able to jump over thicker barriers and even run with more efficiency when getting caught by one or two enemy champions.

Again, this are just thoughts for the purpose of improving a very squishy champion without overpowering it.

What you think?

Not only that, Kindred is fairly new, and while they have only a bit of damage, the last patch was 6.14 (I believe) which was pretty much more a nerf than adjustment.

Even Nidalee is getting that attention from the weakness in the new jungle, but Kindred kind of feels like Urgot completely ignored as a champion

It would be nice if Kindred got some kind of buff and maybe even a mini rework

Kindred is pretty weak even if you have 7 stacks at level 10 which is diamond level (see redkind) you have the same damage as a normal so-so adc who isn't that strong either. The worst is that kindred has no presence even from a ganking. No CC, no decent damage early game, and only decent mobility from W-Q It gets bad when the mid laner thinks "psh trash" and kills kindred

Supposedly Kindred's difficulty is 4 because no skillshots but the floor to play well against other junglers (leesin, elise, rengar) is literally azir's ceiling.

Buff?

any kindred buff would be good i mean seriously they are way too fair to play against its so easy to mess them up and make them easy yet they got over nerfed

Kindred is my second most played but probably favorite champ thematically :) They've definitely been feeling a little underwhelming lately. I think the main issue is how dominant other junglers are now (looking at you LeeSin even though he obviously isn't looking back) they just don't stack up stats wise. The Q increase could be nice but they definitely might be a little too strong with the extra mobility. Honestly they do just fine now with the right team comp - good peel and cc for engages. If you're having an issue with their squishiness I've seen item 3022 and item 3053 as pretty common items on her nowadays.

I'm thinking of getting Kindred as my next champ. Are they worth getting?
