^ The fact you find it strange is pretty much the reason they did it. We've overall got the idea that a faceless heavily-armoured warrior is a guy underneath. It's an intentional subversion of expectations.

Not to mention they aren't going to make her man since she has artwork and skins that very clearly imply she's a woman.

And Kayle being a man instead would make the character design much less of a reference to Samus Aran.

Balance-wise, Riot Games has considered her early-game to be too poor with her late-game being in the opposite direction of near Tryndamere-strong with the right items. They're tweaking her to make her early-game and late-game less out in those direction.
