Before I start let me just say one thing: WTF RITO

Riot, I have always admired your efforts to improve the game environment/balance and add cool new champion/skins concepts to please your players. However, seeing this just makes me sad.

About a week ago, we heard news of a new champion called Kindred that was released on the PBE for testing and the moment I saw the champion I knew that I was in love. "Kindred" is a amazingly designed jungle marksman that utilizes the player's ability to micromanage two beings for gameplay, "Lamb" and "Wolf." Lamb and Wolf are designed to contrast each other respectively, one being serene and majestic while the other is ruthless and vicious. They are depicted as being "two parts" in one whole and are meant to compliment each other.

So as you can clearly tell, I am very stoked for the release of this champion and will probably buy the bundle the second it comes out. HOWEVER, Kindred's release skin: Shadowfire Kindred has one small flaw that is starting to seriously bother me. The skin itself looks magnificent and sheds a cool new light on the champion with its fiery and flashy particles compared to the original's dark, monotone mood. The one problem that I have with it is not the splash art, it's the LOADING SCREEN CARD. You know that little slot of your champion that everybody on you and your enemy team sees right before the game starts on the loading screen? It shows only Lamb.

SERIOUSLY WTF RITO

You advertised this champion as a "two-in-one" champion and I expect you to stick to that. I don't care that everyone thinks that "Lamb" is actually the real champion and "Wolf" is just some companion (i.e. Lulu and Pix). But I mean come on, if you bothered to give Wolf a VOICE that shares the same number of lines of dialogue as Lamb AND manage to fit him into the lading card of the ORIGINAL SKIN, I expect you to be consistent. It just takes a little bit of effort to use rendering and photoshop to make this skin perfection. Riot, if you don't fix this I am probably going to get completely put off and not buy this skin at all.

tldr: Rito, plz put Wolf in Loading Screen Card, k thnx

Yeah, I was seriously disappointed with the screen card. The ENTIRE POINT of Lamb and Wolf is that they are both part of Kindred.

Riot, please keep this in mind for future skins for Kindred, or better yet just fix this one.

The next skin release for kindred will probably showcase Wolf instead of Lamb in the loading screen.
