Give Kayle a Helmet toggle!

Kayle lost some of her armor with the VGU and her helmet too through leveling up. And lets be honest, she kinda looks creepy with that white spiky hair. Reasons why it would be nice to give her one:

•More Armor! Yay!

•For people who liked old armored Kayle or think her armor is part of her identity. I personally grabbed Kayle because she was an armored Angel and her Helmet made it mysthical.

•It is possible. Kaisa got an Helmet toggle already, probably not known by a lot.

•It doesnt hurt the people who like her face. You dont have to use it. Before the VGU you had the helmet, if you didnt want it you grabbed "Kayle without Helmet" Skin.

•I read somewhere else seeing her face is an indicator for being stronger. Sorry, but thats like nonsense for me. Some skins dont lose the helmet at all. Some even gain something. What is same for all skins, is the amount of her wings increase. And besides that, how hard can it be to look up the Passive for a Champion? Either you know what a champ does or not.

I personally think she should have one but Riot decided they won't, here's the statement from Riot August from the AMA

Will not be adding a helmet toggle. Understand where you're coming from, but Kayle is intended to CHANGE as the game progresses (both visually and gameplay wise) and giving people the option to remove those changes would go against that.

I think the point they were making is you know Kayle is shall we say "powered up" when the helmet comes off. It's a visual cue to the enemy playing against her that she has changed.

If it were on a toggle then it wouldn't tip off the enemy that Kayle is more dangerous at that point in the game.

Same way that other champions have indicators for when passive abilities are up that have game changing impacts such as Malphites granite shield or Anivia egg.

It's not perhaps game breaking, but there's more to it than just a visual cosmetic.
