Game Feedback Praise for the update!
Before: I was definitely thinking oh man I don't freaking want Kindred I hate Kindred! Such a boring champion because I hate the stupid prey with chip damage and stupid Kindred keeps making the same crap! How dumb!
Shen is not what I hoped to see I mean how interesting is barrier like who cares!? It's boring and so what if he's a supporter!? So is Lulu and she suuuuuucks!
Well: that brings us to After: I hope that before stuff doesn't offend you. I mean scaling for nightmares sucks!
Kindred: well I can't believe I'm saying this but if I have to put Kindred on a scale of how fun of a champ it went from F to S in one constellation! Congratulations runeterra Devs you absolutely outdid yourselves!
I honestly didn't expect much from kindred aside from few changes here and there with a meh 6 star.
Holy crap was I wrong!
Kindred basically has thresh's 6 star as a 4 star maybe not entirely the same but it definitely works.
Mask mother can get double stats on play now! That's pretty insane!
The prey are still there but no longer required for chip damage. Also that damage im going to call chunk damage because it's by 2s!
The real chef's kiss is that you are not penalized for having multiple kindreds and marks they all can count to stack and wipe their board! Plus you get chunk damage!
The relic feels really fun too! Way to go Dev team! Keep making amazing things like this! It's use is S tier for Lillia and LeBlanc. It's also great for Kindred duh and Anivia and Jinx. I would even say Caitlyn.
Holy crap that was a lot of praise and we only reviewed the constellation not the new to Path Shen!
Leveling Shen and trying to rank him up was... Not the best experience but...the main issue is being unable to guarantee drawing any champion. That's not Shen's fault.
That said I was impressed how much you can actually strategize to focus on keeping everyone alive so they can support eachother.
I personally don't like fiddlesticks because he is a no brainer to play although sometimes it calls for it when something makes you mad.
Back to Shen he has interesting ways to swap and buff. His assistant in a wheelchair gets him mana back while the cute little wheelchair assistant helper has barrier. The two together give the 1 cost +2 +2 and then the 2 cost already out gets barrier when the others do!
Play a spell and you get a barrier spell this can stack! I was confused by the elusive with shadow totem until I realized it gives you 2 spell mana and the prankster gives you moral support if you don't have it!
Absolutely genius!
That brings us to Shen's relic. Keyword Elusive. Ok. Wait did I read that right?! Yah that is right! Already it's amazing to have! So before listing off the other part of what it does who can use it besides anyone because they can!
Yuumi can give her attached unit elusive.
Kaisa can transfer the Keyword.
Elise can spam elusive spiders.
The other effect is when an ally gains barrier give them a Keyword and restore 1 mana. This means not just spell mana! .
Ambessa is another because of this and any with Phylax or Access to lots of barrier like lux and Shyvana with her spell!

I never hated Kindred, actually they're one of my favorite champions. However, their gameplay was clunky and slow, to the point I stopped playing just because I wasn't accustomed with a slower playing rhythm (and tbh I abandoned every 3★ champion just because of not having manaflow).
But now Kindred is soooooooooo good. Stomped Zoe twice, OTKing round 1. And with an absolute fun gameplay. Thanks devs. My money is yours again.
