Just played two games in a row vs Kayle

First game she rage quit at 10 minutes. Felt kinda bad. She couldn't do anything. She couldn't trade at all and couldn't farm. Was under tower the entire time and still died twice to getting dove. Second game the Kayle fed me 8 kills in lane cause she kept trying to fight me and we steamrolled the game.

I don't get what she's supposed to do. Like she has no damage at all pre-6, her heal is terrible compared to other champs and she has no survivability. Even her waveclear seems like it's garbage. I get she's supposed to be a late game hypercarry but she is so crippled that Riot might as well just have people playing her spawn in at 30:00 at level 16 cause it's basically a 4v5 before then.

What do people think about her current state in the game?

It’s like Gangplank . Once you hit level 11 you become impossible to deal with and it get worst at level 16. It’s real scary trying to buff her earlier laning phase just because at level 16 she does true damage. She is able to eat though tanks, stop an assassin’s burst, and is a hybrid carry between ap and ad. In other words I think she should be unplayable till level 11.

Lose lane - win game.

Played a couple of games as her, laning is miserable and you'll miss a lot of farm, use your Q and E just to last hit, no point in trading. Level 6 you can wace clear so it gets better, level 11 you become a real champion.

If you hit level 16 and didnt feed, it's kinda over, you deal absurd damage, can build tanky and sustain and the MS from W makes you good at kiting.

I think people just dont know how to play safe, every time i see kayle on my team feeds it's USUALLY when i see them trying to trade and win lane, but that's not really her purpose.

i think she's fine. people need to stop expecting her to trade well in the pre-6 area.

She is supposed to get some help from the jungler (which doesn’t happen most of the times) and to have team mates with CCs and at least one tank (something that if it happens the tank is going to play like the squishiest ADC ever).

In solo q or normals you are supposed to get fed alone while the jungler farms and also be able to carry any losing lane while giving kills to your team mates.

Played with her when I was in the jungle. My bot lane flamed me for this, but I kept camping top lane to feed our Kayle some kills, then she carried our team to an easy victory with level 16 and several kills under her belt.

You can't expect a Kayle to win lane on her own (or even survive it) with her weak laning phase. But if she gets help, she can spiral the game out of control for the enemy.

shes what a hypercarry is supposed to be and what ADCs used to be. Old Kogmaw especially was like her. Very very weak in the early game to allow the enemy to have a chance when she reaches the lategame.

The problem is current league rarely gets to the lategame.
