Memorial for old Kayle (some pictures to remember her)

With the Kayle champion spotlight on youtube, it's clear we don't have much longer with our favourite armoured angel. I took some screenshots to remember her by once the rework hits live.

Just a few pictures of Unmasked Kayle (it's basically the same) https://i.imgur.com/5kepxzl.png https://i.imgur.com/xOmk6QZ.png

Let's not forget the old model had some issues, such as the tabard clipping into her foot and her tiny size to compensate for her large wings https://i.imgur.com/OZDi1bq.png https://i.imgur.com/e9cPdps.png

Here's all of the images in an album (maybe you want to compare to post rework) https://imgur.com/a/WN5bldW

Despite these issues, old Kayle will always be, in my eyes, superior to the rework. Her colour palate of red-white-gold is easily recognizable and looks amazing. Her tabard looks majestic most of the time, despite the clipping, and her plume has a lot of attitude. Her wings contrast nicely against her armour. The places that lack armour are not emphasized or shown off. Her armour itself looks like it was constructed with being at least somewhat functional but not too restrictive.

I played Kayle back in season 3 and loved the theme but wished for a better kit. When I came back in season 7 and saw her VU, I loved it but still wished for a better kit. Now that a better kit has arrived, I must say goodbye to the visual style that I loved about her. Goodbye old friend, your time has come.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great.

Kayle was actually the first champion I got a PvP pentakill on. I got her in ARAM and somehow managed it. I'll definitely miss her old style and look a lot.

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the new kit? Do you intend to keep playing her?

Why is her head bigger in the unmasked skin?
