She just returned to her normal state.

She's great against Tank and Assassin metas thanks to Ult and Passive. On top of that, the mixed damage makes her hard to deal with when trying to itemize against her.

item 1416 item 3091 item 3124 item 3046 item 3006 item 3071

My favorite build. Everything just melts.

Her win rate spikes every preseason because her kit is innately so good and simple, and with everything changing around her she just gets better. She'll fall again soon enough.

Rageblade buffed.

And more importantly: Assassin Meta.

Kayle is busted on a fundamental level, assuming her damage is at a decent level. It currently is.

I main Kayle at the moment currently having over 600K worth of games on her. I hate when people say she's busted. There's another post where I explained why this is patently false. I'm not gonna re-write all that here but I'll see if I can find it and post it here.

From 1 mastery 7 Kayle player to another: Save your breath. She's broken. Just be glad more people don't know.

lol. I hope Riot doesn't touch her. Everyone and their mom thinks Kayle is super broken so I always fear she may get a nerf.....anyways I found the post I made, I'll still post it here.

I'm a Kayle main and you are most certainly exaggerating. Kayle is no where near as broken as you're claiming.

Lemme see if I can help you by listing some of the things I hate when playing as Kayle.

Most frustrating thing, burst champions. Think Leblanc, Annie, Akali. I feel so helpless vs them because my ult is useless. Their burst often comes too quickly for me to even have time to ult and even if I'm expecting the burst, it's impossible to time it just right when they are about to burst you. I sometimes ult too early and they just wait it out and then burst me down.

Another thing. Kayle is hilariously bad in the early game. She loses trades to almost every champion in the game until she has Nashors. Before Nashors, she has no damage. I can get Nashors without getting a kill by around 12 to 13 minutes. That means before that, I'm not killing anyone without help and if I'm forced to 1v1, most times I'll die. This brings me to my next point.

She is one of the most item dependent champs I have ever played. Unlike popular champs like Ekko, Yasuo, Fiora, Darius, Jhin etc, who can start wrecking shit from level 3, she needs 3 complete items, usually before she even starts becoming a serious threat. A Kayle with those three items is about as threatening as a Yasuo with . Her heavy dependence on items to be strong is probably why she isn't as popular as Yasuo and others. The vast majority of the playerbase want to do nothing but fight fight fight constantly. No one has the patience to farm up while playing passive, except maybe Diamond players.

Lastly, Kayle is a terrible champ when playing on teams that feed a lot due to her item dependence. In such games, it's usually too late for her to do anything when she finally gets strong enough to make a difference.

So yea, Kayle is not broken.

While I feel mostly the same way, I changed subtle things about the way I play her since I wrote that and I don't feel her early game is as weak as I made it out to be in this post. It's still quite weak but with the right moves she can be a terrifying lane bully. It just takes a bit of practice. You don't get it by default like you would playing Annie or Leblanc.
