just played new kayle for the first time

overall i feel they ruined kayle.. her early game is next to non-existant.. melee champs abuse you now since they can be easily in range, and the late game while overly strong, you have to get there and if you dont play the lane like you are 1 shot all game you can fall very far behind

q being a skill shot is i guess "meta friendly" since riot hates point and click cc but it feels clunky and i didnt get used to using it in-between autos, used to be a free way to chase but now its dodge-able and if someone flashes it they are gone from your auto attack range (pre 11)

E takes some time to get used to, its not at all anything resembling old kayle but i can see where lich bane was almost made for it, and ult.. man the fact you cant attack for 2 seconds completely outweighs the damage on it not to mention in the short time i used her i saw it bug twice, where i tanked two 4th bullets from a jhin after it had "ended".

and i say "ended" because i was able to attack him back but the shield effect was still on me, so as im not 100% sure how it works it felt like it was a bug

Her Q is weird. Even though there's a delay, it always fires from the casting position, not from your position. If you cast it and move, the skillshot doesn't move with you. This makes it excellent for running away, but not as good for chasing, which is probably intentional.

The E does primarily missing health damage. Save it to finish your trade, don't keep trading once you use it.

Her early game trading pattern is generally: W to get close and absorb poke, Q to slow them and strip resistances, auto them if you can, then E as you're disengaging to deal a good chunk of damage or finish them off.

im just not used to the whole melee range thing... she used to be very oppressive because of her range and ability to get 2-3 good hits and if she felt a kill all it took was Q and W to chase and if you turned press R

now she feels like what Aatrox shoudda been

She's weak early game but when she hits lvl 11 she becomes really strong. You shouldn't pick her to win lane, but to carry late game.

Here's my opinion on Kayle.

I played her once, and I didn't know what to level first.

She's one of the few champs who generally doesn't have an obvious first skill anymore, unless you've already played her.

I was trying E for passive damage, and I think that's wrong. I'm fairly certain Q or W over time are far stronger starting skill positions, because of scalability and wave clear. E just gives you 1 hit, and then bonus damage on autos.

I also found it difficult to even get my R off because she generally has no survivability at all if she gets CC'd at the onset of a duel.
