From what I've heard from Rioters, Leaks and other sources; you're only focusing on her melee to marksman damage output. I've heard nothing about her Q, W or R.
Will I still be able to support with Kayle, or must I move on to Orianna? [sg-soraka]

Silly Neeko1 votesI highly doubt they will be changing her COMPLETELY drastically.... for example Sion shield was kept ap, increasing max hp, and he still has a stun, he even had his old ulti mechanics put on his new passive.
They will likely keep some of her things like her ability to heal or damage, so it will at least not be toooo weird
The Highest Noon1 votesKayle hasn't functioned as a Support in years. As a matter of fact, her place as a support hasn't been focused on for just as long. It's always been about her utility as a magical ranger and melee.
SithesisLord1 votesJinxylord said that she's a solo laner first, be mid or top.
If he had to sacrifice all her other lanes to make her a good top/mid laner, he'd do it.
And honestly, why even pick Kayle support?
She has non-existent poke without a ton of AP, non-existent heals without a ton of AP, and can barely function with a low economy.
ADC Yuumi1 votesThat's because she's a more Guardian based support, maximizing the Guardian rune. Her items would be Ardent then nothing but tank items. She was a tank who'd make others tanky for a short while.
SithesisLord1 votesNo, she's quite clearly an Aery support. Y'know, part Enchanter and all. At worst, a Comet support if you´re planning on poking.
There's absolutely nothing in the Resolve tree any kind of Kayle playstyle wants to justify Guardian.
Kayle support building Ardent then tank is severely crippling her utility.
