Can we please remake Kayle's E?

I'm a Kayle main and I pretty much play almost exclusively Kayle since season 2?3? (can't remember).

And while I really love playing Kayle, I am so sick of rushing Nashor's tooth almost every game I play just because CDR is so vital for Kayle's E. While one can argue that it is part of strategy (to get iteam with CDR), it's really not that strategic when you are rushing a same item over and over regardless of the situation.

If Kayle's E becomes a toggle (like Amumu's w), then CDR is not so mandatory for Kayle (its still super essential to have Kayle's ult ready on every teamfight with huge CDR). This means Kayle can rush Wit's end, Guinsoo, Nashor, or even items like Rabadon or Lich bane as his first item (or even Runaan). It would give so much more freedom and strategy for the Kayle user.

So Riot, please please do not forsake your one of the original champs and give Kayle a more freedom by remaking her E as a toggle skill...

It should be a toggle honestly

Changing Kayle's E into a toggle would result in it having a tiny cost, her mana pool possibly increased and her other basic abilities would cost half the mana they cost now at all levels. Because Kayle's basic abilities all cost meaningful amounts of mana. Amounts that, if not managed properly, can prove to be overwhelmingly high. She's not a mage who gets all the free mana regen from items and safe for Lichbane, which is never part of the core build, no mana items are built on her.

It being a 10 second ability is what gives her windows of power. She's not getting 45% CDR that early on, even with 10% flat from runes + 5% from masteries, and her core item, as well as core build are amongst the most expensive ones.

With 15% CDR at level 1, Guinsoo's rush, as well as Wit's End rush are both perfectly viable, although i cannot fathom why anyone would want Wit's End when Void Staff exists and every single Kayle main under the sun packs Stormraider's or occasionally TLD.

Zerker's, Nashor's, Guinsoo's in any order of build into Lichbane, Void Staff and a situational 6th item are the go to builds presently.
