Should Riot make Kayle a ranged champ & give her a new E ability?

I kinda feel like they should. I don't know any Kayle that fights without E active and that's a lot different than saying Kog'maw not fighting without his W giving him range/% dmg. Probably doesn't use E when she wants to freeze the wave.

I would rather have her E be a toggle with some other changes, so she can be a legitimate melee or a legitimate ranged, depending on preference.

As a Mastery 7 Kayle... this idea intrigued me.

Do go on.

You don't like to stack that CDR, do you? :)

lol I just don't see the the point of it or rather the point of her being a melee champion and using an ability to become ranged and on-hit damage and trying to have 100% uptime. Making her ranged with a new ability/kit sounds simpler/better.

Kayle's E is too strong to work as some passive, and it's a very characteristic attribute of her. I don't think it should be something completely different. But I find it interesting to make it a toggle as most Kayles stacked up enough CDR to have a 90%+ uptime when needed anyway. And Kayle's E isn't just about to make her ranged but to deal hybrid damage and spread her passive. It has many interesting use, from Runaan's on a top Kayle to max out damage or Rylai on a support Kayle with AS to apply literally continous mass slow, etc. Oh, and Kayle can buy melee items then use her E to go ranged, it's an important unique thing about her too.

I don't play much Kayle, but when I do I cheese it as AD. Maybe it shouldn't be tied to E, but having a ranged/melee toggle would be interesting on her. If it was up to me I would also split her ranged and melee forms between AD and AP, though I'm not really sure which should be which.

We have plenty of champions who switch between melee and range, and now have a champion who makes a permanent decision for their kit part way into a game, so having a champion who has adaptive scaling based on their choice of attack range doesn't seem like too far of a stretch.

you don't fight without e active because why would you gimp your self on damage. She is an AA pseudo mage that has 95% of her damage on righteous fury with a slow on her q that still deals decent damage then a heal/ms buff and invulnerability on her ult.

I would tweak her E at most. Her E and Ultimate are core parts of her image and I think it would be best to tweak them and rework the rest of her kit if necessary.
