The real reason new Kayle dissapoints me: Splash conversation

In my opinion, riot has always been very talented at drawing metal/iron armour, I genuinely enjoy how their team makes it in splash and in game, so to see all of kayles shining knightly metal armour replaced by a one piece outfit is somewhat dissapointing.

I feel the new look semi betrays the whole point of Kayle, where she was meant to be basically the OG Vi, this hard core tom boy knight, who had fans thinking on first glance "oh it's a male angel knight" than you go in game and go "HOLY SHIT IT'S A CHICK". That's the whole point of unmasked kayle. a big "haha, gotchya" moment. I know it's far to late now for riot to go back in their decission on where they want to artistically take Kayle, and no I was never a Kayle main, but as someone who is a huge fan of medievel armour, I really will miss what Kayle was. I never hated her as a champ aesthetically, abit dated yeah, but seeing it replaced by this one piece DJ sona looking outfit, it's sorta like, did riot even consider who Kayle was when making it?

Will most likely be down voted for these thoughts, but in all honesty, I was really looking forward to the flaming knight angel brought to life, but in the end it was just yellow glows, and a ballerina looking thing.

It's not a one piece outfit. They're tweaking her model to better reflect that she is still wearing armor.

they are ruining champs not fixing them Evelynn rework sucked, no one plays her Aatrox rework sucked, no one plays him Galio rework didn't suck, but is a completely different champion ENTIRELY, and is worse than the real Galio Nunu rework did NOTHING but make his options less, he's now a tank you can't go ap as easily you can't go attack speed anymore you can't supp as easily he no longer has a hard hitting poke (snowball) he can't go ad as easily its just a nerf and reason to sale more skins

Just wait 'till they remake Vi and put her in latex slut gloves instead of big fist weapons "because girls don't hit hard."

in all honesty, the “kayle looks like a boy, OMG SHES A GIRL” thing is just the community’s perception, or at least a percentage of the community. obviously that’s only your first impression because you can’t look at kayle everyday and say that, because you already know she’s a female. so why should they make her androgynous again? she always had a body suit and the armor thing can still exist on a different champion, and exists on some of the champions in the game. i think the main issue is that her armor, which is the white pieces, don’t look like armor, because they’re not shiny and not the usual color of armor.
