PSA About Kayle

For the love of God stop playing Kayle mid. I'm ok with Kayle top, but not mid. It's fucking terrible and for a few reasons:

You have zero priority mid all laning phase, leaving your jungler vulnerable to invades on BOTH quadrants of the jungle

Your midlaner is Kayle, meaning she's useless for most of the game. That means you can't contest objectives unless you and top/bot are extremely ahead - say goodbye to rift herald and drakes. You can't take objectives when your mid-jungle 2v2 has no presence due to mid doing nothing.

Skirmishing is based around mid-jungle 2v2 and if your midlaner is useless you can't fight any 2v2 or 3v3 because unless someone is super ahead on your team to make up for how useless Kayle is most of the game, you lose.

Kayle's matchups are even worse mid

Playing Kayle mid completely shafts your jungler which tears down the rest of the map with it. At least with toplane Kayle you can have a strong mid/bot which can make up for her lack of priority and you can still fight around objectives because your midlaner is relevant.

Please stop playing Kayle mid, it's a terrible idea.
