Kayle discussion... Also, who else is this broken right now?

I've been getting into Kayle ever since watching worlds, and she seems unnecessarily strong. I get that her lvl 1-5 suck, but it's not too hard to survive until then. Then her lvl 6, 11, and finally 16 power spikes make her brain dead to play.

Do you think she deserves a nerf?

Also, what keystone/runes do you take? I have tried Klepto, Lethal Tempo, and Phase Rush. Finally, what build would you do? I currently build the following always... Then, depending on the enemy team...

Thanks for your thoughts and comments! [katarina-love]

Yea, she's broken cause it's very hard to punish her. Her W movespeed boost and Q slow allow her to consistently escape any engages, then, once she hits 6, she can counteract others after peeling away from them. That counteract? Simply autoclicking for upwards of 20% of your HP. You can't do much but walk away once she does this because she peeled herself 3 Teemos away, you wasted your mobility to reach her, and you're still slowed by her Q. 100% deserves a nerf because scaling champions should be more punishable.

Yeah she does need nerfs. I don't think she should be able to peel you off her and chase you down with two slows ( item 3144 ) and a speed up. Riot should try to encourage more E max and less Q max.

Q Radiant Blast

Cooldown should go up.
Slow should be flattened to 30% at all ranks and maybe make it decay.
Base damage should go down and ratios should go up.
Add a 40% healing debuff for 4 seconds. Why? Kayle doesn't itemize , , or very well.
Remove mana refund.

W Celestial Blessing -Just make it more healy less speedy. -_-

E Starfire Spellblade -I'm not sure what could be added to make it worth maxing more. Maybe make it like Darius W where if it kills the target it refunds half to mana and cooldown. -I still think the missing hp base damage is still a little too high. I can't believe it used to be 10-20% missing hp.

Her ult does a bit too much damage and I don't think she should ever be able to auto if ulting herself (max rank ult). With those changes she's alright actually - its klepto thats really to blame here. Not only is it not hard to survive to 6 like you said, Klepto ensures she isnt behind for that entire time even if shes killed and denied a ton of cs. It is being nerfed in pre-season, even if I hate the new rune and think its useless.

She's what kogmaw players want to be but can't because they get one-shot every team fight.
