Why the Kayle nerf?

From surrenderat20.net

  • Kayle-Holy Fervor (Passive) no longer shreds armor.

Why, Riot? That basically ruins top lane Kayle as the shredding armor was the main ability that could help her win lane/trades/get kills on the the likes of Darus, Fiora, etc. Now that it only shreds MR, she will only be better against AP champions.

Fuck I voted wrong lol. Thought that said unjustified. This is trivia crack all over again.

Anyways, what the shit? How is she gonna get by without this?

Ah woops I thought justified was the one to put. I was thinking justified as if "does kayle really deserve this nerf?"

I agree, I don't see how she will get by with this.

Not sure I have seen an apostrophe "*" in quite some time. Way to keep it '05 in here.

Kayle was legitimately broken, no other words for her.

She'll still be viable mid and possibly jg? She was way too strong before, maybe this may not be the right course of action, and they could have changed something else, but to say she didnt need a nerf is silly.

She was strong because of Devourer and some of the marksman items that came out, but they nerfed them pretty hard. I barely see a Kayle now a days but before she was in almost every game.

I don't think she needed any nerf really, she already has high mana costs, is melee without her E, etc.

I dont think she was good jungle personally, as shes just so weak early compared to other high pressure junglers Nidalee Elise , etc. so she would never even finish her item 3931 if the enemy jungler had any competence.

I personally thought shes just a bit strong, but they wont nerf her that hard, theyll probably revert and change something else, all i know is that she's 100% deserving of some nerf.

She didn´t need a nerf, because she suffers from the same thing Kog, Yi, Xin, Jax and previously Irelia do.

Guinsoo's Rageblade. Before, it was a very underused, barely built item. It should have stayed that way. Ohmwrecker needed a look over and possibly a complete rework more than Guinsoo's ever did. Now, if you´re AA reliant and don´t get a Guinsoo's, you´re doing stuff wrong.

She was far from broken too. Strong, yes, sure, but not broken. Then again, which toplaner nowadays can splitpush as well as she can? Which can shred resistances as fast as she can?

Kayle did her job very well. Removing armor shred from her passive will be a low blow and affect her everywhere, not just top lane. It´s the only thing that allowed her to be able to deal with tanks, that now, oddly include ADCs as one of its sub-classes.

She's a rare sight in the jungle. Whoever does pick her and goes there has balls the size of Jupiter to do so. Or is just downright stupid.

item 3124 + item 3931 is the real problem. Or just item 3124 in general. It's pretty op on certain champs to say the least.

Exactly. Guinsoo's the problem, not the champions that use them.

Yeah. I just got done with my lulu devourer rage blade, and I literally dicked everyone. It's just op on certain champs who scale with ap, and it just goes way too well with devourer.

I always liked her as my tank support shredder. This will have an impact on that too :/
