I'd say 1st mark give 50 range then after 4 start giving more.
That way Kindred doesn't get to their late game power spike (8 marks+) during laning phase.
Because that's when Kindred goes out of control like a fed Nasus or Veigar.

> Actually the main problem I have is the people wanting a rework since they don't play the champion and are pretty clueless about the champion. Since they say stuff like they're always broken or bad without any proof since they just hate the champion and nothing else or the people saying wolf needs to be half the champion without realizing that would turn the champion into something else.
Old rework made Kindred more boring but not so mark reliant.
The problem with the passive is how 50/50 is it.
You are not a champion before 4 marks, and a good team will keep you from getting your marks early game or even late game if you don't get 8 marks by the time Baron spawns. (if Kindred doesn't get 8 marks by 20 mins then they are behind).
But if they free farm marks they can insane range and attack speed after Q. That's why some people say Kindred is op because with a lot of marks early game they are super good because of their range and how much power that can give them during lane phase cause it makes ganks super good. But again, without Marks you might as well be playing a support only good for ulting.

I hate have a new Kindred player on my team.
If they don't have 100K+ points or m7 I know how that game will go.
And I'm right most of the time. Kindred needs a rework to be more new player friendly but keep the high skill level of play you can get when maining the champion. Also no, Kindred is not broken.

They don't need a rework because they're bad.
They need a rework for many reasons.
No one plays them, not new player friendly (which is what Riot wants).
Most people hate how the passive works. Wolf isn't a very big part of the kit when compared to Lamb.
These are all good reasons for Kindred to get a rework, not a big crazy rework but more like Diana just got, something to help with the champion.

The abilities are totally different the only thing remotely like Kayn is just the Passive and only half of it at most.

Kayn is a Darkin yes but he's technically 2 different personas as well. They are both Grim Reapers sort of. Its just Kayn is fighting for control were The Kindred work in tandem one taking the kill at a time. You want to add Wolf into the kit but I want Wolf to be equal to Lamb and make Kindred true to its name while staying true to the lore.

No Kindred doesn't stay very true to there Lore but what I mean by too much like Kayn is that THEIR PASSIVE is too much like Kayn's.
I guess you never caught on to that. And yes, this is an impasse.

Ok but you can look at old Aatrox and new Aatrox and old Aatrox sounds like a different champion.
Galio still has his taunt and Urgot still has his switching position (his E).
Aatrox still had his revive but that's gone now, so he's pretty much a new champion.
He is not Aatrox he is worse and shitty Riven.

> TL;DR
> If Riot were to rework champions based off the preferences of OTPs (One trick pony) there would never be a unified voice and Kindred would still only be a champion that is rarely picked by those wanting to get into the game. OTPs play a champ cause they are used to it, a rework is to change the champion entirely.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> When it comes to a rework its not to cater to the play-style of the OTP its to bring the champion up to date and make accessible to the larger player base. Kindred is functional but how many play her? Does she fit with the original concept? How well has she aged?
>
> With all the recent reworks how many OTPs were upset when their favorite champion got a rework? Mid Mordekaiser stopped playing Morde all together because he could no longer take him mid and he hated all the changes. There were numerous people that hated the Pantheon rework as well. Same with Kayle. Same with any other rework coming soon.
>
> Lastly a lot of champions have similar things in their kit. It helps new players understand the mechanics. Aphelios is a new champion that has 5 weapons and like 4 of them have other champions abilities. Senna also has other champion abilities. Its how you get players familiar and help transition from one character to the next.
I understand what a rework is supposed to do.
A lot of Kindred players want a rework for many reasons.
But the one thing we don't want from the rework is having a Kayn like passive.
What Kindred players want from a rework is a better W.
More Wolf in the kit. Change the passive but keep the marks. That's not just what I want from a Kindred rework but also what others want.

Most Kindred players would hate this because it's just a new Kayn.

There are champions who when one tricked are gods.
The ones he listed like that are Akali and Kindred.
I guess you could say Evelynn and Kai'sa are gods when one-tricked but eh not really.

How "powerful" champions are don't really matter in Silver, or even Gold. Heck, probably not even in Platinum. It's all about how good you are with the champion you're playing and how well you understand objectives. If you look look for external reasons for why you aren't doing as well as you think you should be, you're always going to find them.
I'm not trying to say op champions are keeping me from winning (well part of that is true)
I'm just saying Riot keeps buffing already good champions to the breaking point, making some of them auto win lanes.
I myself can fight a Garen rn and can tune a gank. I'm not bad at the game. But what's most annoying is in a team game because of all the powerful champions someone on either team will auto lose a lane.
