Why is there no demand for a Kayle rework?

These days there are a lot of reworks getting tossed around, sometimes in large bunches like Juggernauts, ADC's, and soon Mages. Despite all of the claims to rework archaic or poorly designed champions, one I'm surprised I never see is Kayle. She's never played, she has no specific role, no build fully suits her, and she's weird to play against due to a kit that relies on a weird tactic of magical long range AoE basic attacks. Shouldn't something be done to give Kayle a proper identity?

I was thinking of that the other day. She's strong, but really old style.

Who would she be reworked with? The mages? The fighters?

But yeah, she could use a new suit of armor (figuratively). It's not like other games haven't done the same style of champion and been successful with it. Riot should be able to pull it off if they get a decent idea going.

There are champions that need a rework more, Kayle may not be top tier but she is pretty much always at least functional.

She's already been reworked twice, isn't particularly problematic, and fills a particular niche that no other champion really does. I see no reason to really change her.

Personally I'm not really sure what they'd do with Kayle. I like her thematically but find her really aggravating to play against (primarily because of her unavoidable slow and extreme damage output).

I think in a rework I'd like to see her basic attacks just be ranged instead of this weird melee / ranged mix. I think her Q probably ought to be a skill shot for the amount of "fuck you" power it has. Her heal isn't really fulfilling any fantasy for me, I think I'd like to see a little more play making utility added to her kit and this is probably the way to do it. I also personally hate her ult, however it is likely to important to the integrity of the character to be changed.

My boy. Her ult is god. All they have to do is to buff her atk spd and base ad and then she's god
