Will my Kayle playstyle be preserved in her rework?
I enjoy playing
as a moderately tanky enchanter support with
as my core items and Guardian as my keystone. She fits a gameplay fantasy as a guardian angel with clutch ults, strong heals, and decent resistance debuffing with her passive and sometimes
to soften up opponents. Building tanky lets her risk sticking around in fights without reserving her heals and ult for herself.
My previous experience with reworks makes me worried that the off-role flexibility will not be preserved. With
's rework, I lost my beefy bodyguard enchanter playstyle since he lost his ultimate's synergy supporting a carry (pseudo-revive/carry-doppleganger) and his W cage is only on par for supporting with his old W ghoul's ability to block hooks/grabs at will, and he lost the ability to reliably summon ghoul's for lane harass without CSing with his Q, so he just doesn't work well as a support anymore unless he eventually gets some support specific compensation for the off-role.
Can a Rioter on the champion rework team respond and let me know if
's support role (especially as a decently tanky support) is planned to stay? I think a moderately tanky fighter/enchanter Kayle is the best fit for Kayle's fantasy and melee-ranged hybrid kit. Since she visually wears a full set of armor, being at least somewhat tanky is also better for gameplay clarity.
but building AP on-hit and having better utility, and an enchanter support between
and
but with a focus on shredding targets to boost her carry's damage.
