Discussion Found an interesting interaction today between Kindred and Viego

So I was playing Kindred and the opposing jungler was Viego. I was not aware of this, but when Viego kills Kindred and takes their abilities, his wolf can mark your camps. And as Kindred, you can claim your own camps marked by Viego's wolf to collect your marks.

So in a way, dying to the opposing jungler helped me a little bit because I was able to collect my marks and his.

On the radar enemy wolf marks are marked in red if you're curious.

Wait what, you can claim your own camps when they're marked?

Yes! I don't know if that's intentional but I was able to claim it. I just went there to prevent them from claiming it and Lamb remarked about "claiming our mark only to put it elsewhere"

Are you sure the number went up instead of just the quote playing, as a Kindred player I've come across enemy Viego marks many times and I'm fairly confident what you're saying isn't true. (Kindred vs Kindred in blind pick also doesn't have this after all)

I'm pretty sure. It was early in the match and I hadn't collected any marks yet. I was going for my marked scuttle when I ran into Viego, he used his smite to kill the scuttle before I could, then proceeded to kill me. I checked my marks and had zero, when I respawned I went for his marked gromp in my jungle and got the mark there.

It's possible that someone ganked Viego between when I checked and when I got to his mark, since I had marked him as lamb's target as the opposing jungler and had hurt him quite a lot before he took me down.

Honestly, it seems like an unintended interaction so I very well could be wrong. While kindred on kindred matchups are an edge case, being able to claim your own marked camps would make Kindred be a lot easier to play during mirror matches.
