Kayle's Helmet as she levels up

I know there are a lot of complaints about Kayle's appearance, but one is easily fixable and very important to her character. Please let her keep her helmet as she transcends, Riot. Taking it off as she grows more powerful seems like the opposite of who Kayle is and what she stands for. At this point it feels like you just kept the helmet as an artifact of the past like Swain's birds, rather than making it a genuine part of her VGU. Let Transcended Kayle be the skin where her helmet is off.

Simple solution, make her Helmet a Toggle. I also really dislike her losing her helmet. Looks way more badass.

Kinda depends on the direction they'll take with Kayle.

We don't know how Kayles transformations relate to her lore, so its easily possible that her final form might represent a time in the lore where her character undergoes some growth and doesn't need the helmet anymore(as her helmet was basically her way to isolate herself from the rest of the world).

In my opinion she should only take her helmet off at her absolute final form, as her unmasking is meant to be a really big deal and it fits with the idea that she finally "Ascends" at the end.

Right now, for Battleborn and Transcended at least, I like how they started out with a different helmet/hair and then turned it into something matching her splash arts at later levels. I was scared that they just messed up the models at first, but after watching the skins on PBE videos I realize that this is not the case.

For stuff like Silver and Judgement Kayle I think there's a case to be made about the helmets being toggles since their splashes show those helmets and it adds some special sauce to the limited skins.
