I don't really feel like saying much because my day is ruined with Quinn's unavailability until some later time today or tomorrow, but yes, I do like the smart ping, although it'll take some getting used to; I've already used it on the PBE and it seems like, until that point, it might be a little annoying to get the ping out while in the middle of fighting or something- granted, you can set the individual pings to hotkeys, but that's just four more keys I'd be bad at remembering to use qq
As for Kayle, yes, the slow gets pretty big, so although it's shorter by a second, it does give you more opportunities to do damage because you'll keep them in range longer. Admittedly, the 10% damage amplification being gone hurts her a bit, but I'm sure she'll get over it. And on the subject of support Kayle, her base heal is second only to Soraka's (this is discounting Janna's ultimate since that's, well, an ultimate), and gives pretty nice movement speed to boot (hahahahaa get it, movement speed, boot ahahahahaha) but to be completely fair, every time I've tried support Kayle it was horrible. I think that's more because I'm not used to her as a support and had no idea what I was doing, though.
