Which Kayle will we get with her VGU?

So I just played Kayle in an ARAM; I don't pick her that often, but I had a fun game with her. It got me thinking, though; Kayle, more than any other champ in the game (that comes to mind), has a kit with really split focus.

On the one hand, her E makes her a powerhouse if you build attack speed and AP. However, two of her other abilities are decidedly supportive. Her ult and her W would be really great abilities on a support if Kayle were ever balanced around it.

So, which Kayle is more important to preserve? Support Kayle or Carry Kayle? And if we DO get carry Kayle, can we recycle some of those sweet abilities (namely that heal with the speed boost that would actually be cool on a support champ that used it?)

The one thing I would like to see refined. Is she melee ot is she "melee" from a great distance.

Jayce gets this right. He is both, but Kayle it just feels like you want to have your ability active at all times for the dmg and aoe on autos, but she is naturally melee.

Know what I mean?

Yes, 100% agree. Having an ability that is always active, but only if you build her correctly, kind of feels bad. It really limits her itemization and keeps her feeling like one of those really dated champs.

hey man, not sure why brainless downvotes with no feedback, i hate that shit.

i think the abilities are already used you just may not have realized!

heal with speed boost, nami has this, it also gives you 3 slowing auto attacks

her ult is taric ult with a trade off of aoe for the delay.

I suppose you're right. I just think it's weird that she has these two kind of different flavors to her kit. It seems unlikely that they'll keep her that way in an update scenario.

But it's true that we have similar abilities even if her W and R get deleted.

if she was a support, id really like it aesthetically if she stole zileans ult and zilean had something else. something about an angel reviving you seems right =P
