Champion Reveal: Kindred, the Eternal Hunters

"We’re almost ready to breathe life into League’s next champion, a marksman designed for a life in the jungle. Kindred prowls through camps, marking enemy champions for death and permanently growing in strength if they’re able to carry out the promised sentence. But just as Kindred brings death, so can they delay it. Should their allies meet deadly force, Lamb - one of Kindred’s two spirits - can create a large blessed zone that, for a few valuable seconds, denies the ever-creeping and inevitable clutches of death."

Here they are folks!

I'm a bit disappointed that the wolf is merely a spirit that travels with you,I hoped you could control both at once, had something where they joined back to their original form or at least that you could switch between them. But well they still look cool and an adc-jungler is quite interesting.

Wolf is the Lamb and Lamb is the Wolf! A wolf in sheep's clothing, I knew it!

This new champion is super amazing. Its like an ice-cream induced nightmare involving Two-Face, Death (discworld), and Studio Ghibli all at once.

But we are all missing the very interesting part of the passive on Kindred:

In addition to Lamb choosing an enemy champion for the Mark of the Kindred, Wolf automatically hungers for large enemy jungle monsters from time to time. All champions can see targets that are marked for death.

Meaning that item 3711 has purpose again outside of Nunu counter-jangling. And of all the oddest combos it is for an ADC jungle. It will be for Kindred what Devourer is for Shyvana, and just imagine Poacher's Devourer Kindred.

You probably forgot this icon even existed: item 3932 .

This is the most wildly different character (despite being a mashup of Tryndalistabard) yet.

I was hoping for him/her to be a mage. Imagine where Lamb was healer like mage, where you get buffs and get healed. Whereas Wolf would be a damage dealer, where he hunts enemies down and kills them. But oh well, at least it's a jungler. Time to learn a new champ!

Visually, this champ looks amazing and I seriously cannot wait to see what it's first skin will look like.

What I am getting out of their story is that when they were one they were the embodiment of death. "All things must meet this man so they shunned him" All things must meet death, and everyone hates/fears death. So death split himself in two so he would not be lonely anymore in his eternal duty.

i wonder if the passive changes when the target buys more health
