League of Legends developers reveal Kayle rework for season 13, set to hit the Rift in future updates
Riot August, the lead champion designer for League of Legends, said that Kayle is the next champion to undergo some form of rework.
Bel'Veth, Zeri, Jinx, Vi, Ekko, Jhin, Senna, Viego, and Gnar have all been the previous projects of Riot August. He responded to a Reddit post complaining about Kayle not being featured in League of Legends patch 13.2, saying that the work on the champion is in progress and that he should be able to share specifics soon enough.
Even though Kayle received a full revamp in 2019, the kit still makes her feel lackluster compared to a modern-day champion that matches the dynamic of the current game state.
There aren't any specifics regarding what kind of rework Kayle will get. It could be either a visual and gameplay (VGU) or an art and sustainability update (ASU). But it does seem that a champion like her will most probably end up getting a mini-rework.
Veteran Kayle was a part of the initial release of League of Legends. She is easily one of the oldest champions in the game, but sadly no longer a match for her current state of life.
Considering her launch in 2009 and the kit itself being substantially outdated compared to the options available today, she deserves to get a rework done. Kayle has been struggling to perform in the lower and higher ranks, and fans are unhappy with how things are going.
When a modern-day champion's kit is considered—Akshan, for instance—Kayle's kit looks much weaker in comparison and is in dire need of a glow-up.
Champion Rework is an update focusing on gameplay and esthetic elements, which usually applies to champions from a long time ago. Some reworks are fairly substantial, depending on the status, while others focus on visuals and may be finalized in a matter of weeks.
