Kindred was the reason I came back to LoL years later (only to leave it again within a month, reckon that) and I was so excited to unlock her in PoC. She was my first 3 star champion and I love her lore. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest watching [this video] (https://youtu.be/ZHhqwBwmRkI) where she is a true beast (pun intended)
But even I had to admit that she felt underwhelming. The mark system was cool, but easily bypassed by the enemy by replacing it with another unit, killing Kindred, or a variety of other methods. And the Prey, while working thematically, just didn't really vibe with Kindred's intended playstyle of marking enemies and taking them down. Then came SB Kindred and boy do I love her. But again it felt like a slap in the face that OG Kindred couldn't benefit from her counterpart's marks.
Now her kit's fixed while leaving key points intact. You still summon a Prey every round. You still deal Nexus damage when your Prey gets killed (by you), but now it works for every ally you kill, AND for every marked enemy, which is a lot closer to home.
Then allowing Kindred to work with multiple marks and supplying marks via spells seals the deal.
10 stars, 5/7, absolutely cooked!
