[Concept] Kayle Rework
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/9e/Kayle_OriginalCentered.jpg
Foreword: Kayle, as she is right now, feels very dull to play as to say the least. All of her skills don't demand any effort of the player to perform at least halfway decently and her ultimate feels unfair to play against, while also being very boring to use. This concept is formed around the idea of making her a bit more engaging to play and more fair to play against; while at the same time not changing her so much that she might as well be a completely different champion.

INNATE: Each of Kayle's basic attacks grant her 1 stack of of Consecration, up to 5 stacks. Upon reaching 5 stacks, her next ability cast will consume all stacks of Consecration and have bonus effects. If Kayle doesn't deal or receive damage for 6 seconds, she loses all stacks of Consecration.
Q https://i.imgur.com/FDNEdE2.png Reckoning
MAX RANGE: 800 SPEED: 1500 COLLISION RADIUS: 90 COST: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 MANA COOLDOWN: 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6
ACTIVE: Kayle throws a spinning sword in target direction to a set distance, returning to Kayle on the shortest path upon reaching its maximum range and dealing damage to targets it passes through; once per direction. All targets damaged by the initial direction take 50% bonus damage on the returning direction. At any point that Recokining's projectile is active, Kayle may reactivate Reckoning to blink to the location of the projectile. Reckoning's cooldown does not begin until the sword returns to Kayle.
EMPOWERED: All targets damaged by Recoking's projectile are slowed for 3 seconds.
MAGIC DAMAGE: 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 (+50% bonus AD) (+ 30% AP) MAX DAMAGE: 75 / 137.5 / 200 / 262.5 / 325 (+125% bonus AD)(+ 75% AP) SLOW: 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55%
Note: 'Max damage' assumes Kayle hits a target with both directions of her Q.

This ability behaves normally, except the empowered activation.
EMPOWERED: Kayle surrounds the target allied champion or herself in a holy barrier, absorbing incoming damage for 3 seconds.
BARRIER: 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 (+ 45% AP)
E https://i.imgur.com/KtADVq5.png Righteous Fury
This ability behaves normally, except the empowered activation.
EMPOWERED: Kayle's basic attacks reduce the Armor and Magic Resistance of all targets damaged by Righteous Fury for 3% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. This effect can only be applied while Righteous fury remains active.
R https://i.imgur.com/Rkyv4Aq.png Intervention
RADIUS: 450 COST: 100 MANA COOLDOWN: 100 / 90 / 80
ACTIVE: Kayle holds her sword skyward, channeling for 0.75s, then drives her sword into the ground, bathing herself and all nearby allied champions in holy light, rendering everyone affected invulnerable for a few seconds. Kayle cannot cast this ability unless she has 5 stacks of consecration.
DURATION: 2 / 2.5 / 3
Note: Intervention consumes all stacks of Consecration upon activation not after her channel is complete. This allows her to be interrupted while channeling and effectively prevents her from casting her ultimate again or any other empowered ability after being interrupted.
