In what Situation would you pick Kayle over other Toplane Champions?

I'm pretty curious about this. :x Isn't it kinda boring getting babysitted until the minute you get your fully ranged attacks? If you play solo it also must be really frustrating if you don't get some ganks from your jungler? From the other perspective it must be really annoying to gank a kayle lane? I mean if you jump into that lane to attack a tank or some brusier, what is kayle actually doing in this fight? Flying slowly after them and hope to get a assist? To me this seems pretty random and based on luck i dunno :x? Had a game right now where i got bullied by a garen under tower until i hit lvl 11 and stomped his ass afterwards. Is this really how we should play kayle, wait for lvl 11 farm as good as possible and after 20 minutes right click to victory?

I mean pre-rework she wasn't very different, but she was able to hold a lane solo? How is Kayle in other lanes? Would she play better as support or even jungler? Are we really forced to build klepto just to sustain and everything else is bullshit? Honestly i can't figure out how she is played efficiently. Helps

I feel like she’s a bit more suited to jungle now. I’ve found she’s pretty rough to play with in top lane. Yeah, she’s a bit fragile early in jungle, and she gets clapped hard by counter jingling, but once she gets even the first part of her jungle item or recurve bow, it’s significantly easier. Also, since scuttle timings were pushed out later, there’s less likelihood you’ll have to square off against the enemy jungler as early. I normally go Fleet Footwork, Overheal, and Legend: Bloodline into Biscuit Delivery and Timewarp Tonic. It compensates for your weak early game with regen.

Every meta jungler will shit on her early.

Hell even off meta shit like Vayne Jungle could ruin Kayle early.

I mean, if they have a strong lvl 1 or 2, certainly. But she’s still not terrible lvl 3 and onward, and I’ve even had success against some invade heavy junglers as well. Is she the best early? Heck no, we both agree on that. But It’s doable, is all I’m saying. I’ve honestly had more success with her in jungle than with top or mid.
