Riot, please keep Judgement Kayle as close to her current design as possible

I'm sure plenty of changes will need to be made to match the new Kayle's abilities, defining characteristics, and new art style, but this is a skin I really want to stay close in design. A few things I'd say are required:

  1. The giant bird pauldrons must stay. I'm sure new Kayle will still be armored but if something changes with base Kayle, keep these. This is arguably the most important point, total color scheme aside.

  2. Hood on / glowing eyes.

  3. Blue (teal? cyan?) And black color scheme, including the blue fabric that goes down her center. It's so damn good.

  4. Overall cloth texture, including belt. Again Kayle is usually seen as armored but this iteration is more of a light armor type design, besides the level 100 paladin pauldrons.

  5. If possible, keeping her in the same position in the splash art would be awesome. Yeah it's not really a good splash anymore, but with some touchups to Kayle's actual body and something in the background besides boring clouds it could be a solid 10. I know they'll remake the splash from scratch, but that position she's in would be awesome to keep and build around it.

This was the first ever skin I got in League and I honestly think it's one of the best skins Riot has ever made. If it wasn't for Kayle's outdated rig and janky animations the design would hold up. Sure, we know basically nothing about Kayle's new design so maybe some things will have to be changed but I would love judgement Kayle to stay as close to the original vision as possible. What I DON'T want to see if the skin be heavily altered or entirely rebranded, but a Stinger Akali / Northern front Swain style of update is preferred.

I think Kayle and Morgana will look about the same as they do now, but better.... at least until they transform.

Maybe not rebranded as a different skin but Kayle and Morgana are 100% losing their wings. Riot is changing their THEMATIC. The core of who they are. These will be the most drastically changed champs in League VGU history because the original theme is so boring and off-color for League's new direction.

Worst case scenario, I see this skin being added to the 'Forsaken' skin line with Jayce and Olaf. Jayce being more recent, sets the better precedent, a hooded skin with dark coloured robes and red special and visual effects. The red special and visual effects would be the major change imo, I could see the eagle pauldrons staying in this scenario and the dark robes and hood.

I think this would be the worst case scenario for this skin, but hopefully the skin stays as much to the original/ to your liking as possible.
