Any plans for Kayle?

I really like Kayle as a champion, especially her ability to be nice and viable while building AP/AD/Hybrid/Offtank. But out of curiosity - are there any plans for her? Like Voice Over or something? Or gameplay update? Imo she doesn't really need one, but some new mechanics usually dont hurt.

I personally like that Kayle is one of those champions who can build basically anything and be pretty viable with it. Frozen Mallet/Liandry's/Nashor's? Seems legit. Nashor's/Rabadon's/Wit's End? Super cool. Thornmail/Trifrorce/BoRK? Follow your dreams, Kayle.

There's a ~99% chance changing Kayle's mechanics would hurt her.

Currently she's the only champion that can run top-lane, jungle, mid-lane, or support all at a competitively viable level. Unlike the handful of other champions that come close to doing so: Kayle only has 4 abilities rather than 7, and Kayle can do all 4 positions with essentially the same build, causing her to effectively be all 4 rolls (or all 5 - considering she's a pretty solid marksman-esque champion late) at once at any given time, where someone like Nidalee or Elise with similar flexibility generally has to build quite differently to pull off a different lane.

I don't see any changes to Kayle helping her out at all. Any mechanics changes would likely shoehorn her into a more specific set of lanning positions with a lot less flexibility, and her overwhelming pro ATM is that she's a jill of all trades.

Ye that's probably right, they might accidentaly hurt her versatility and that's the last thing we'd like. Although i'd still see a VO since she has too few lines. Too bad there aren't many champions who can work like that, last being probably TahmKench since he's good top/jungle/support so maybe Riot is more open to the idea than I think.
