New Kayle seems scary, really scary

Isn't she a bit too overloaded? The thing that scares me the most is her waves of fire dealing true damage after level 16. A heavy dislike on that. The tanks will not enjoy her in the late game at all.

In addition, does she really have to be that overloaded with damage. Of course, I haven't played with the new Kayle in the game yet, but right now it seems a bit too overtuned. Especially her ultimate. Adding AoE damage to a complete invulnerability spell is always a bit scary. Reminds me of Neeko ultimate, A huge shield and a shit load of damage. Kayle also has resistance shredding on her Q now. Don't really understand why but I don't think I wanna think about that too much.

I fear that Kayle will come one of the champions that can lose their early and still overscale the enemy with 0/7 stats. Just the kind of safe champion no one wants. Still, we'll have to see what happens when Kayle becomes playable for everyone. My bet is that she will require a nerf, but I can always be completely wrong and she will be as useful as AP Ashe. After all, she still needs a lot of levels to do those scary things.

If you can't abuse her awful early game then you deserve to face massive waves of true damage when she hits 16.

Shes... Not over loaded considering what she is and what shes meant to do. The waves of true damage also dont particularly matter because shes MEANT to hyper scale. But shes melee at the start she she needs to have lots of counterplay at the start.

So... some things. True damage isnt really that strong unless kayle has a lot of ASP, she cant attack while channeling her ult, her ult is shorter, and probably the most important... Unlike other marksmen kayle needs a solid core of items AND levels before she actually becomes effective. Her conditions will make her strong, but not overbearing until she hits her stride.

she is a hyper-carry that is made to fit into any lane.

hyper-carries themselves are MADE to be scary.

she is a win condition, much like Veigar Nasus Vayne Yasuo

now, i think that riot should take a goddamn step back after they release her and work on ways to make games LAST a bit longer, and not just buff her if she starts to dip in win-rate.

the worst thing they can to for kayle is to buff her early-lane and make her safer, as they have a history of doing for hyper-carries every patch or so.
