I am not good at Kayle

I would like to be good at Kayle, but sadly I am not. Any tips? Specifically Kayle in a solo lane, I play plenty of junglers and am trying to expand my solo laners.

Hmm... I consider her quite a situational pick. She's not a champ I'd blind pick into my opponents during ranked because champs with cc and dashes will wreck her early. She does however work surprisingly well against some champs, I generally play her as a counter to Darius, he can still faceroll you if you aren't careful early but if you get somewhat decent with her you will more or less stomp every Darius thanks to her great kiting potential and massive scaling.

Once she hits lvl 6 she essentially become THE anti-assassin, get there in one piece and you will make those Yasuo/Zed players cry, the trick however, is getting there in one piece.

TLDR: Know when it's usefull to pick Kayle, she, like just about any other champ has good and m

I dunno, I just got my ass handed to me by a yasuo player that wasn't even good. I think Kayle's just not a champ I'm meant to play haha.

She quite honestly is in a very bad place in the meta, I mean sure froggen got a cheese win with her the other day but that honestly does not mean much. Problem is kayles lane phase is always either trash or overly oppressive, its hard to have a balance inbetween.

That must be why she is performing either fairly well or exceptionally in every lane people take her.

Honestly I think she has some good tradeoffs for her oppressive lane. No hard cc, no escapes aside from a slight MS increase, and she's nearly impossible to not push the lane with. Very vulnerable to ganks pre 6.

Not really a bad place. Kayle is asually at her peak strength during the assassin meta, which pretty much is our current one. There aren´t a lot of matchups she loses. And the ones she does lose more often than win she can just focus on taking down turrets.

Her laning phase is pretty balanced, actually, especially considering how it´s a perma-push laning phase. Even when just wanting to freeze the lane she´ll end up pushing it. Her melee mode isn´t viable enough until you get Guinsoo's. And even then you only use it to get double the stacks.

I've been running her Support. She's one of the few Supports that can effectively split push if your team keeps forgetting to do objectives. Took the entire bot lane while team was playing ARAM in the mid lane.
