Talk:Kindred/@comment-24660029-20150916011233

I just have to say, the theme and concept of the character(s) is cool and I always like to have more divine than mundane characters (Bard, Aatrox, Tahm, etc.), but I feel Kindred's damage is too low and their scalings are pretty shitty. I guess because of their passive they will already be doing a crapload of health shred, but I mean still none of their scalings are above 50%, as opposed to hyper carries like Kog and Trist who have mixed high damage. The kit seems a bit bland, which is a shame for such a thematically complex and rich character, but at least it seems to synergize well with itself (except for that ult, wtf? Lol), and I'm sure once they get some fair share of testing on the PBE, that they will become popular and fun. Nothing is inherently broken or underpowered in the kit (like if Bard, Trundle, Ahri, Vayne, and Warwick had a baby), and it seems that there is plenty of room for both Kindred and their opponents to outplay one another. I'm still a bot hesitant on that passive damage though, with a solid 4-5 kills, they will be doing 5% HP dmg every hit, which can easily lead to some nasty snowballing and make life as a tank even harder in the meta that is finally beginning to reject them.

However, their playstyle intrigues me and I've always wanted a jungle ADC, however, I'm curious to see if they will be played top and bot too. Most importantly to me though, is that I love the lore and splash art, which I think is one of the best yet, and I can't wait to begin incorporating them into my own fan fiction (don't judge). The short little cinematic is haunting and I love the voices, and I can't wait to get some dialogue from them, because they remind me a lot of Kefka and Skull Kid, two great characters in their own right. Riot has really outdone itself in the creative design but not so much the gameplay. :/ Can't wait for release, maybe this is the ADC to take me away from mah boi Lucian!
