Is it just me, or is 's gameplay a little stale? It seems that her play style is only as deep as q, e, right click, wait for e cool down, etc. I suppose this is the case with most aa intensive champions, but in particular seems abnormally boring to me. Is it just me? What do the good people of the boards/riot think?

Also, I think changing Battleborn Kayle's particles on q, e and maybe w or r would be baller. Especially considering it is a 975 rp reskin, basically, and that if the Chinese splash is any indicator, it would be awesome.

I love kayle, but Riot needs to sit down and figure out what they want to do with her. Time and again we'e seen true hybrids don't function well. Her pattern is incredibly direct and rather binary, and right now her numbers are just lackluster. Ult aside, there's nothing at all she does that someone else can't do much better. I like ult and E, though E could use a buff back to its old damage with the attack speed nerf, or vice versa. W costs too much as a heal, and doesn't really help much from mobility, while Q is....really flat. Appreciable damage, doesn't slow all that much. Passive I'm 50/50 on: it kinda fits her kit with attack speed, but is honestly more of a tank pattern with the ramping effects.

New thoughts:

Q: Chains of Justice: skill shot that does minor damage, entangles the enemy. Slows and disables dashes, but no other skills. ranks increase mana cost, slow strength.

W: Wings of Salvation: Dash forward to target unit and gain resistances for a short duration. If the unit is a friendly champion, gain no resistances but instead dash back to your starting location, taking them with you to safety. Ranks increase resistances, mana cost, range.
