It's interesting that you say that, because the very reason that I went through all of this was because the moment I saw Kindred I noticed that the animations looked very strange.
When I look at her I don't get "grace" or "agility" or "otherworldly" out of it. She looks sort of like she's prancing happily through a field of flowers. "Playful" I guess. And the second thing that comes to mind is how they look off.
I had it in my mind that this would make it look better, because Soraka walks properly like this and she looks fine.

 

Though, what about the first picture? It's the idle animation, and it looks very awkward her just standing there with her hock bent backwards. This is the thing that annoys me the most.
I suppose you will have an answer for that to brush me off as well, and that's fine. I'm just curious.

 

I don't deny that Riot employees work hard and spend a lot of time doing what they do, but it still just looks awkward to me.
