Kayle - Toggle E proposal to riot

Well, I have been playing Kayle for a while since I bought aether wing and I have been having troubles adapting to her weird AA range.

Kayle clearly seems to be balanced around beign ranged and you don't even use your AA unless you have your E up. Maybe she was originally thought to be dancing around your both stances, melee and ranged, but nowadays she only uses her auto when she is in ranged mode. Aside this, playing as kayle is pretty weird when you are about to last hit a minion and suddendly you get in melee and have to wait 6 secs to go again in ranged mode, because unless you are REALLY bulliying your opponent you won't get in melee, and that's only if you are AD kayle.

I have found a post created 3 years ago with the same proposal as mine with a Riot reply. He basicaly explains that is not possible to toggle E because it's visually loud and because in become in mana problems for Kayle. I have to say that I rarely see a Kayle autoattacking without her E activated, so I think loudy visuals are not a real problem, and about mana issues they can always balance mana numbers to make it viable. In adittion to the advantages that this change could give to Kayle players, this would define her even more as a short ranged champion, and probably Riot could make better balances to her.

There is the old post link I've mentioned:

IMO, if this were implemented, her auto's with e up would need a mana cost per attack, like jinx's rockets. 3/4/5/7/9 mana per auto sounds reasonable to me, but I am by no means a game balancer.

With 40% cdr( Athenes and nashors) you can reach 100% uptime.

The gap between her duration and cooldown are meant to be a moment of weakness that her enemies can exploit.

It's kind of her only one at the moment. It's a huge problem that she only has the one window, and is one of the reason she's getting nerfs.

A toggle would nullify that problem, and without substantial changes to the rest of her kit, wouldn't really fix anything about her current issues.
