Archangel Kayle

As someone who really likes Kayle, I think she is infavorable to the way she looks, particularly her bulky armor and super-fluffy (and unattractive) fluff on top of her head, I think a new skin for Kayle that incorporates a more consecrated side of Kayle--Archangel Kayle, would bring a new divinity to her character that I don't think Summoner's Rift has seen before.

Hello!

So the idea I'm gonna throw at the fan base today includes a heavenly skin that I would expect to be around 975 to 1350 RP.

Kayle is such a unique character in that she has so much open to give her unique skins, but sadly the better skins that used to be offered for her are mostly no longer available (Judgement Kayle in particular). But see, those skins lack something. I really want to see a soft side of Kayle that isn't about this new world she's created, but protecting the one she seeks to in her classic skin.

Really, I think the inspiration for a skin that meets this goal would originate from Magic the Gathering, specifically the Emancipation Angel Emancipation Angel. I am really enthused about this card from the game, as the soft blonde hair, and beautiful flowing dress might inspire to give Kayle the angelic edge and soft feminine side she really needs. The reason I mentioned this skin to be worth 1350 RP is because Kayle's abilities could get a seraphic-gold touch up, giving her flaming sword the ability to tap into the revered Archangel power to be both pretty in gold, and deadly in damage.

The reason I mentioned the Emancipation Angel specifically was to give Kayle something new. What her other skins lack is diversity. Most of them are recolors, or literally just took her helmet off (which is rather ironic, since her lore directly says "thou shalt not remove thine helmet"). But I really dislike the sash that runs down her armor. Her armor is bulky enough as is, without this sash adding to the clutter of her mega-fluff on her head.

Which what startles me most is that Kayle is always wearing pants! The contemporary view of the typical "angel", the mythic creature Kayle is clearly based on, is seen in most artwroks artworks depicting angels. By the way, did that picture not make you think of a possible future Morgana skin? Anyways, an Archangel is an angel of very, very high rank. In Kayle's lore, she was told as being "the strongest of an immortal race committed to destroying evil wherever it could be found." Let her do this clad in godly garments!

My goal from this post is to possibly persuade Riot to draft and create a Kayle skin that shows femininity as well as strength in a way that uses the beauty of her face, a soft skirt but a sharp sword, and a nice yellow-and-white palette to give our holy Judicator a skin that doesn't just make her a herald of a new world, but the protector of the old one, the highest harbinger of death in the Rift.
