Kayle Rework Concern

TL:DR- Looking forward to see what you do with Kayle in her rework, but please remember that she is also currently played as a support as well.

Niche sorta concern I'm sure, but one that instantly came to mind when reading the roadmap (yeah I'm a little behind on my dev blog reading)... Right now Kayle is one of my go to picks for a healer support, especially when dealing with a team with multiple assassins. Her strong single target heal + move speed in combination with the Invulnerability ult makes choosing Kayle a good champ for making clutch saves and getting your carries out of a tough spot should they get caught out. It's incredibly rewarding when you are able to swing a team fight by placing a well timed ult on your carry and turn around an engage.

Reading the roadmap made it sound like the jack of all trades that Kayle currently is will be disappearing in favor of building her into a full hyper carry that starts melee and goes ranged as the game continues. While I fully agree Kayle needs some love, please don't forget about those of us that play her as a support. Taking away her supportive abilities will pretty much make me stop player her unless shes so obscenely fun to play as a carry it convinces me to switch out of a supportive role (not likely). There's plenty of carries in the game at the moment. I'd have rather see Kayle go down a AD-healer-support route (which currently doesn't exist in league) than down another lane flexible carry like Quinn, Lucian, etc. Think it'd also sorta fit the profile since her sister is also more of a support damage hybrid (Morg).

Ultimately, I don't mind what overhaul she gets so long as my Mastery Grinding on Support Kayle doesn't get completely wasted because her secondary role gets taken away in the rework.
