How can you be effective with Kayle ?

I like Kayle, but every time I play her I just suck dem balls. Can't do anything in lane phase, if I get ganked, I just feed. When I play against her, her ult seems to last so long, but when I play her, it's like nothing lol... and still I just feed.

Kayle needs her 3 item spike to be useful. item 3006 item 3115 item 3124

I have mained this champ for 2 seasons and I do not recommend her in season 8 because the vast majority of games are going to be over before you obtain these items. She only works well in Bronze and low Silver. As soon as you reach an elo where people close out games fast, you're going to suffer.

You make her work by not picking her

If you´re playing her top, here's the tip any sane Kayle main/OTP will give you: Stop.

Play her mid instead.

Ban Anivia/LeBlanc/Ahri, hope they don´t pick Azir/Aurelion Sol. If they pick something like Katarina, go Exhaust, everything else either TP or Ignite.

Lethal Tempo for keystone Triumph/Presence of Mind Legend: Alacrity Coup de Grace/Last Stand

Transcendence Gathering Storm

item 3158 item 3115 item 3124 as core. You can go for Zerker's instead, but i still like capping CDR on her. 54 seconds worth of ult CD is amazing.

Wit's End before or after Guinsoo's, if you´re against a lot of magic users. But after those four items, you can choose if you want to continue with the on-hit build with BORK and Runaan's, or go a more AP heavy route with Void Staff and Rabadon's.

She's decent in Season 8. All you gotta do is hope your team doesn´t shit the bed until you get your core items. But even more important, make sure not to shit the bed yourself, or if you do, hope the enemy team throws enough for you to make a comeback.

She excels the best against AP heavy comps because she can fit item 3091 into her build and become an absolute monster.

But yea rework coming soon.

Practice. Pay attention to E duration and cooldown in laning phase. Don't be afraid to walk up to melee to farm when E is off if your laner does not have hard cc. Learn to freeze the lane. Shove as fast as you can when you see Jungler on the other side of the map.

Standard On-Hit Build: Easiest to pick up for the new Kayle players item 3115 > item 3006 item 3047 item 3111 (Choose as needed, I hate how so many other Kayle mains default to Berzerkers though)> item 3124 > item 3085 item 3091 (Build both in any order as needed)> item 3089 item 3812 item 3153 item 3146 item 3046 item 3026 etc up to you.

Precision/Inspiration (18% AS) -PTA -Triumph -Alacrity -Tier 3: Up to you -Magical Boots -Cosmic Insight

Precision/Sorcery (9% AS and AD/AP) -PTA -Triumph -Alacrity -Tier 3: Up to you -Ultimate Hat/Mana Flow -Transcendence

PTA for most people. Don't use Lethal Tempo if you are already playing badly in lane. I love the inspiration tree because of the Attack Speed and 5% CDR. You can keep E up almost always with 25% CDR.
