Lore: CAN Kayle and Morgana be "fixed" without ruining them?

I know there is already another thread about this, but I wanted to open up the discussion further without coming forward with a "solution".

What do people think about Kayle and Morg being "angels". Their origins are still other worldly and I know the lore team has stated before that they want to ground these type of characters to Valoran/Runetera. Nasus and Renekton were shifted to be ancient Shuriman. The yordle "mothership" is all but forgotten and Gnar places their history as ancient. And Anivia was placed into the Freljord.

What are people's thoughts on the same happening to Kayle and Morgana? Should it be done? Can it be done? How should it be handled?

Wings? Apparently long-lived/immortal? Darkin.

Oh! I never considered that. That is an interesting twist to their origin. Athough, Aatrox's wings always felt more decorative like banners rather than functional like Kayle's. Perhaps he lost his wings similar to how Morg "almost" lost her's and he occasionally flies through magic or sheer force of will? I like it. :D

Interesting question. They basically represent order and justice vs freedom and individuality. I think they could be linked to Demacia and Noxus quite well in ideals, but there isn't exactly an open spot in either city-state and making these sisters anything less than powerful would be underselling them.

Also, your poll is confusing. What is a completely new rewrite? Karma level story progress? How can they be fine as is if Riot is obviously removing all extraplanar traces?

I can see how the poll could be confusing. I was taking visual updates/changes into consideration as well since appearance influences story story esp. for morg and kayle since they have wings. There's also character limit on poll options so I tired my best.

Trundle level imagining is where the character phsyically stays the same "i.e. wings" but how or why they have them is explained completely differently. They might have strong personality shifts and their core motivations are changed as well.
Karma level story progression basically states that they are "angels" from elsewhere but have come to runeterra for their own goals/needs. but arriving here they themselves had to change. perhaps they had to put aside their differences and teamed up. The essential core parts of their story remain true (sisters/ other worldly angels) but they have strong personality changes with the new environment.
They are fine as is but simply give them another reason to be on runeterra other than summoners. They may simply be seeking help influencing/or not influencing their home world from other nations (demacia/noxus).
Completely new rewrite. Nothing is salvageable and everything is opted to change so that they are completely different from their old characterizations. Only their abilities and names remain the same in game.
I have no clue. (pretty self explanatory; but in my lore forums x-post I added "but i'm okay with any of these options")
Something else (and i'll explain in the comments.)
