It's a buff/nerf. Give up some early power in exchange for being able to perma E with just 30% CDR.

This is not a buff. This was an almost 100% nerf to Kayle. She received almost nothing in exchange for the stats she lost.

Being able to have 100% uptime on E with just Nashors is a big deal.

Thing is, Kayle didn´t cap on CDR just for max E uptime. That was the main reason, sure, but low CD ultimate, especially now with Ultimate Hat, is really good. Survive a team fight while ulted, wait around 20 secs and boom, ult's back up.

They´re over nerfing where she's weak and over buffing where she's strong.

I can´t see her winrate going any lower. Heck, her pickrate might increase even.

It also makes laning pretty brutal, because you don't even reach the old CD (16s) until level four.

So you've lost AD, you've lost AS, and you've lost uptime on your main source of damage and lane functionality.

Nice.

On a champion who doesn´t even need nerfs.

Meanwhile Jayce got a caring slap on the wrist worth of a nerf, Pantheon still gets to be viable and Zoe is still rewarded for missing her shit.

Season 8 is off to a great start it seems.
