Kayle would still be able to support even if she were melee, since her supporting power comes from her W and R, both of which are ranged. In any case, she already plays out like a fighter: she has an amazing autoattack steroid, great sticking power (Q + W) and equally fantastic survivability (W + R). She has far more utility than any other fighter, and her range advantage just gives her very few windows of vulnerability. It would be a lot healthier if she were permanently melee and had better stats (greater base movespeed, MR per level, etc.), as she'd get to be super-strong but also easier to reach. Overall, her E needs its activation changed: with a bit of CDR, its downtime becomes insignificant, to the point where it turns into an always-on steroid. Having it function as a toggle could do it some good (you may not always want it on when harassing early in lane, for example).
