I find it kinda weird they would remove the Support categorisation. Kayle is still a Support Champion. She's not upto the Generic standard true but she is still a very good niche Support when matched with several ADCs that require constant commitment in fights and require quicker positioning earlier on but can't do that themselves. So Champions like Varus, Ashe and Caitlyn synergise extremely well with Kayle.

Also, Kayle isn't a Pure Specialist Champion anyways, she's a True Hybrid Champion, both statistically and role wise. Come Mid to Late Game she is both a Fighter and a Support. She can also be a AD and AP Hybrid (Statistics). Ppl don't seem to understand how she is supposed to be played as a Support and I don't think Riot has realised this aspect of her either despite having created her themselves.

Unlike most Supports that have the option to either become a 2ndary ADC, APC, Tank, etc. Kayle has to mix n merge roles to scale into late game when playing her as a Support early game. Goin as a Pure Support on her isn't as optimal unless 2-3 of ur teammates are damagers. So in most cases building her with both Supportive and Aggressive gears is recommended when playing her as a Support in the beginning. Something like this:

- Zerkers, Mercs, Tabis - Ohmwrecker

- Nashor's Tooth - Runic Bulwark - Locket of Iron Solari - Ruby Sightstone

Yeah something like this lets Kayle fill in for her given role (In this case, Support), while at the same time being able to scale into late game as the usual typical damage dealer she is best with. She really isn't a good choice as a common pick or a counter pick as a Support but what goes for a Kayle Support is that Kayle has no counter picks as a Support with the exception of Soraka and maybe Taric. Kayle's Supportive plays lets the listed ADCs to secure First Blood near instantly cos of her safe and assured Slow and Damage Amplifying Innate further bolstered by her E Charged AA.

Basically, Kayle Support is a niche pick that is meant to focus on overwhelming the enemy ADC really early for either an instaneous First Blood or a near complete denial of farm earlier on. This let's ur ADC set up for Mid to Late Game really quickly regardless of the outcome so long as s/he doesn't die.
