Kayle is as stupid as Akali at this point

BLIGHTBRINGER··5 votes·1,263 views

Doesn't matter if you can somehow manage to get her behind, the moment she Kayle hits Level 6 and get's her Gunblade it's over.

  • You can forget about being able to get in range of her to fight because she has 4 Tools to prevent you from ever reaching her; Gunblade Active Slow (which i'm questioning at this point why it needs to exist), her Q Slow, her Passive giving Movement Speed, and her W giving her even more Movement Speed.

  • You can forget about being able to trade with her because she will just sustain any damage she takes with Gunblade Heal + W Heal.

If her massive Winrate + Pickrate, her being played in other lanes because she's that strong, and on top of all that the fact that she's being played almost every single game in Pro Play with a presence of 75.7% (based on gol.gg stats) doesn't say that she's overpowered I don't know what will convince all of you at this point.

##Nerf her already.

Honestly I can't wait for Kleptomancy to be gone, to stop this free gold generation fiesta. But my guess the end of Klepto won't do much because she will probably be able to abuse the new Omnistone Rune that basically grants every single Rune that is in the game.

Agreed. Kayle's safety is similar to Akali's, but it's effectively stronger on Kayle because Kayle can get ahead of everyone else on the basis of scaling alone.

You can wait 2 weeks for klepto changes

Actually, she'll probably take conqueror to double down on gunblade sustain and add more damage.

Unless they made it stack off minions again doubt she will be sustaining off of conq, not even including the stacks required for ranged champs

She stacks conqueror well in fights and doesn't suffer from CDs afterwards because she primarily auto attacks. She has no problems hitting max stacks, and benefits heavily from the increased sustained damage and champion healing, paired with gunblade.

She'll be using the new conqueror better than most bruisers. The only upside is she'll be slowed down a bit with the removal of Klepto.

However, more solo lane experience, and still no corrupting pot nerfs.

She will still have a much worse early game since klepto is what was keeping her in a somewhat viable spot. Without it she will be easier to bully out of lane and easier to make her far behind making her take longer to get the items and lvls she wants. She will get a stronger late game as a result due to conqueror actually providing something late but she doesn't have the early game cushion that is klepto.

Klepto didn't give her a good early game. It sped up her scaling due to extra gold. That's a huge misconception people have.

She'll still be difficult to bully out because the most broken starting item, corrupting pot, still exists with mana regen. Basically infinite mana unless somehow you're forced to overstay while taking TP.

The only reliable, realistic difference is that she won't have as much gold by the time she's out of early game.

It literally allowed her to survive lanes. It let her not fall behind as much as she should. She could sustain like crazy and get so much gold due to klepto. With klepto gone she loses a bunch of sustain and extra gold. So it is way easier to push her out of lane and to keep her behind. Corrupting pot isn't going to let her survive all on it's own and she is still going to take longer to get her items due to her not having the extra gold income of klepto. You seriously are underestimating how much sustain she got from klepto vs corrupting pot.

You're seriously overestimating how much sustain she got from klepto...considering she rarely procs it pre-6, where she's weakest AND MELEE.

Fleet Footwork offers more sustain. Both pre-6 and post-6, due to the ranged limitations vs minions. That's if she doesn't take the new conqueror. She might take PTA for the early trading and scaling too.

She'll take timewarp tonic and biscuit delivery as her secondary runes.

The ONLY reason klepto is better is because of the gold. Not sustain or any other reason. Vs some match-ups she gets a lead by 6 before she even starts reliably proccing klepto.

She's not as weak as you think early. Her trading is bad, but hey, so is Vlad's. Both of them are somewhat safe, not because of Klepto, but because they have ways to reliably survive laning until they come online unless hard focused by the jungler or in a HARD counter match-up. And kayle gets a LOT more out of lvl 6 and her first item than Vlad.

I'd put money on her still being over 50% winrate after Klepto's removal after a few weeks of people getting used to it.

Klepto only accelerates her gold reliably...and only really post-6, where she already starts farming, harassing, etc more reliably.
