Kayle has no incentive to interact with lane opponent

Her damage has been nerfed so badly that in virtually every matchup you'll actually have it's too risky to trade with your opponent.

other than never seeing a kayle build lich bane that item also takes some time to afford till then I've noticed she does peanut damage trades are really quick, its not gonna last long enough for her peanut damage to accumulate Maybe I just favor burst over dps

oh u missed the AP kayle fad then

why would you trade when you can kite almost anyone?

also kayles damage hasnt been nerfed in a long time, unless you go AP, in which case you played "1 trick pony" kayle and deserve the nerf.

No you can't kite almost anyone.

See: Jax, Irelia, Wukong (he W's away after E - Q'ing you, Jarvan with bork.

That's just what I thought of in under 10 seconds.

nobody can kite or duel with jax or irelia, however, kayle has ways to deal with them. you should absolutely slaughter wukong. if he pulls that combo often he runs out of mana fast while you bully him in between combos... or he decides to hug a turret and let u freefarm

try attack speed runes and sheen rush. when you E+AA early game with sheen you chunk them so hard they wont try to fight back, and if they do just orbwalk kite them till they die. if they start running W speed boost heal chase them +sheen proc = dead. not dead? Q + ignite and walk away

after sheen start building zeph, once you finish zeph you can literally kite everything. then finish triforce and nobody will be able to escape. then build hextech and nobody will be able to duel you

Before the LB and Kayle nerfs, I was even killing tanks in 4-5 shots + Q. She scaled better than Vayne, Kog, Trist and Twitch put together. Now, she seems more reasonable. There is still a reason to have an ADC.

I think the LB nerf hurt her almost as much as my AP Kog. It may be more significant than her direct nerf.

you can still kill tanks in a couple seconds late game with

black cleaver/wits end/IE/triforce/zephyr/phantom dancer

BC and wits combined with your passsive just shred high resistance targets.

the attack speed and crit shred high health targets.

you are fast as fuck with no boots bc 3 of the items have mobility bonuses (+ ur w) so even if you are chasing you will put out high DPS with low travel time.

so no matter what kind of tank your are chasing they will die almost instantly.

Dude, I just noticed you're silver 5

This is a smurf account that you post on for some reason, right?

You're not some bronze mmr guy who feels the need to go online and lecture everyone?

what does it matter if you cant play kayle?

look at my kayle winrate and tell me she cant fight lol

she is literally a freelo champ that i climbed out of bronze with in a few days

Bhauk1 votes

LOL. Gj climbing out of bronze!!!

...

I climbed from high gold to mid plat with post nerf(s) Kayle

Why don't you try that and see how easy it is to get up to high plat with her?

maikokk1 votes

you literally just told me that this thread was made so u can troll. unless you are bitching because you finally hit your elo cap and a freelo champ cant carry you any further?

they didn't even touch her base damages, which are what is most important in lane.

Drunk Rummate1 votes

she's a mid-late game champ like orianna. you aren't gonna win lane unless you're against a melee that you can constantly poke down, but once you have a few items your AOE damage is ridiculous.

of course nobody is afraid of a dorans ring kayle. nashors + runaans + deathcap kayle is scary as fking hell though.
