I actually define this change as a minor nerf with some compensation. Kindred's power spike is in early game, as their gank and duel capability is at their highest at around level 4 - 6.

Nerfing Q cd in the early game will limit these strengths and make Kindred less oppressive and unbeatable. Less mobility, less damage, less successful ganks and duels, less snowball, right?

All those W buffs are just making up for it and somehow buffer their rather lackluster mid game.
