I'm SO Excited for this new PentaKayle skin...

Except it litterally has her default skin auto attacks, so even though it looks pretty and i'm super excited it's unplayable.

She needs a VGU really tbh, not a new skin. I'd honestly use the other skins more if they felt as fluent as Aether Wing does and I'm a bit confused as to why it's not been changed with this one yet. I don't know if it is just because it's early on in the cycle because they said there's still more sound files to add, maybe they'll update the aa animation too? For 1350RP I sure hope so :s
Almost every Kayle player will tell you that the attack animation alone makes Aetherwing Kayle worth it's cost. I personally love the aesthetic of Unmasked and as such only use it on my main account. This Kayle skin will become my new main whether you make it have Aetherwing level attack animations or not. I would personally only pay Epic pricing for this skin without those animations, however the usefulness of those animations would have me paying Ultimate skin pricing without hesitation. You could easily sell this as a Legendary skin simply with those basic attack animations and Kayle players would rejoice. Aetherwing is used for its animations more than it's aesthetic.
As a Kayle main with 660k in total...I can approve, that the auto attack animation really is awful...it just feels really clunky when not playing Aether Wing
Exactly my thought Aetherwings is on a different level.
The awfulness of the autos of her non-legendary skins is severely exaggerated, and I say that as a 200k mastery Kayle player.
1.25 MILLION mastery points kayle checking in. Please don't use the default auto animations they're awful.
I am a Kayle Main. This skin is really cool and the hype is real! But the skin has a major flaw, the auto attacks are basic Kayle's which doesn't fit modern Kayle Skins. If the Auto Attacks were the AA's from Aetherwing Kayle, all Kayle mains would be very pleased. I would pay for the Aether wing Auto attacks on this skin for an increase in price.
Rito Pls, give this skin Aetherwing Auto Attacks.
EDIT: This skin would be a million times better with Aetherwing Kayle Auto Attacks.
Even if you just added aether wing AA's this skin would be 1000x better if you were to just leave the regular autos
Please tell me Pentakayle is its actual name.
GIVE HER AETHER WING'S AUTO ATTACK ANIMATIONS!
This skin is amazing but they need to update her basic attack animation just like aether wing. Base basic attack animation is what bother me the most on Kayle....But nice skin so far.
Literally no reason to play Kayle unless you have Aether Wing skin LOL
Can you add me in game and i have a few kayle questions :p
''Defended'' is my ign
Auto attack animations aside, i think the handle of her sword feels a bit too long. At the very least i think she needs to hold it with her hands closer to the blade. It seems like there is a very big gap between her hands and the blade in game.
If Kayle's auto attack animation becomes like Aether Wing, wouldn't it make Aether Wing Kayle's tier just redundant now due to the unique animation becoming a part of the base? I think they could just do a small attack animation change like what did they Jax till Kayle gets a VGU. Similar to Aether Wing but not exactly copying it.
They said on the PBE post for it (saw it on Surrender@20, the comment in question was from RiotKateyKhaos I believe) that not everything for the skin was shipped in the current build, including her recall animation and I believe her E particle and sound effects. Just wait a bit and I'm sure they'll finish adding all of its bells and whistles.
Whose that person standing to the right of Kayle... GASP could it be... It is.... Pentakill Vladimar!
Please riot.. just a better animation...
