Why I think Kayle is busted... (hint: does not involve her ultimate)

JamesTheMage17··1 votes·769 views

Her slow is ridiculous and she has an attack boost that's not only extremely effective and powerful, but also lasts 10 whole seconds. I could honestly care less about her ultimate because I don't think it's that good, considering they can still be CC'd during this time. But seriously, why is her boost 10 seconds long if it's gonna be so effective?

her being really squishy makes her kinda balanced imo

Because she's nearly useless without it.

Kayle itemization means she gets it up 100% of the time she needs it. It's cooldown is a weakness for her early game, mid-late game, she scales into a marksmen, and not having ranged, powerful autos 100% of the time would really hurt that.

If maxed second, which it is in almost all cases. And it costs a shit ton of mana, which given her small pool even at level 18 and the fact she is essentially forced into building CDR to keep a relevant E uptime causes her to spend mana a lot.

She builds Nashor's Tooth for a first item. Of course it´s gonna make it powerful and effective.

but also lasts 10 whole seconds.

Also one of the reasons why she has to build CDR. The downtime period of her E for those who don´t pack flat CDR(10% total) or CDR/level(20% at level 18) runes is large enough to allow punishment, the forcing of trades, etc.

Heck, even when packing those runes, the downtime is large enough. If you can´t do stuff to a Kayle in 6 seconds, you´re asking to get demolished.

But seriously, why is her boost 10 seconds long if it's gonna be so effective?

Because if it didn´t exist, she wouldn´t be viable anywhere, and if it were shorter, the mana cost would have to be reduced or her mana pool increased to compensate.

Yes, there may be a time when her E is not up. That's between fights, after she kills two people with it in less than 5 seconds then runs away while is still up.

If she doesn´t get killed by every single lethality user before get her ult off, which is more than likely than she killing people.
