I see the aesthetic you're trying to drive home for Kindred, Riot...

And I have a suggestion to drive that home.

"Kindred" are a set of two who work as one. While you control "one" champion, you get two models who - at least in appearance - contrast in personality. This is clearly seen in their splash art alone, which is originally what got me so excited. Looking at Kindred, I thought to myself, "What a beautiful pair they make, however deadly in intent. They're easy on the eyes and stirring for the imagination."

That being said, I think I've noticed something that shatters their whole aesthetic.

Lamb's auto-attacks look really stiff, and I'm not sure that's what you would want for this pair. Her autoattacks look a whole lot like Ashe's. In an archer, good posture is extremely important, 'else you won't be able to draw the arrow correctly; but are you sure this would apply to Lamb, who is already so wondrous in appearance? I understand that Lamb is probably still using Ashe's rigging, as Kindred has not even reached PBE yet, but I urge you to add some flexibility and grace to Lamb. Make her skip and prance like a lamb aught to, full of joy and delighting in the world! Make her autoattacks a little less stiff and more elegant.

It will go a very long way.

Video related, enjoy cute lambs for reference. https://youtu.be/8nKnd0MvR6E?t=6s

I like how they wear the other's mask representing "The Wolf among the lambs" and "The Lamb among the wolves".

The arrows also look exactly like Arclight varus arrows. (on pbe currently)

I hope they make it more unique and/or spiritual
