Change Kayle's E

Balgoth·Jul 27, 2015·2 votes·655 views

So Kayle has become extremely popular since the new sated devourer. She's pretty OP but not in a way that is fun or offers much counter play. Her passive and E both benefit from attack speed. The build is basically a no brain SD + all attack speed. She ults herself and just blows up the other team. I think it would be interesting if her E changed to work similar to Brand's passive (Brand's spells light his targets ablaze, dealing 2% of their maximum health as magic damage per second for 4 seconds, for a total of 8% maximum health. Brand's spells also have bonus effects on blazing targets). This would make high attack speed less powerful while maintaining her ability to poke in lane.

I think it would also be interesting if her passive were moved to her E, and the Armor/MR shred was a 4 second burn down.

Thoughts?

NO... Kayle is fine, and her E is straight up her signature ability... If you were to rework her E into what you want, her entire kit would need to be changed, as this ability is something a tank wants... not an AP mid. Honestly just an awful idea, when combined with the rest of her kit.

Does anybody even have a problem with lane Kayle these days?... Seems like almost every "rework Kayle" thread is in response to a broken item that turns nearly every champion who uses it into some sort of hypercarry. Kayle's not the problem here, sated devourer is.

That is the point, she could use a kit rework because she is pretty ancient. I think this is something a mage/fighter would want not a tank. This wouldn't improve her tank stats at all, but it would allow her to do sustained damage over time rather than a weird burst of ultra attack speed.
