According to stats from this site http://champion.gg/champion/Kayle/Jungle

Jungle kayle has really hard times nowadays. During 4 last patches, her win ratio dropped from 54% to 50% and her pick ratio decreased 10 times from 5% to 0.5%. Ban ratio has decreased a lot as well, and right now the champion is played (in 5.19 patch) only in 65% by people who have at least 15+ ranked games with her.

According to what riot said http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-feedback/guzFPiRE-so-is-kayle-getting-reverts-now?comment=0003 they didnt want to nerf her even further, but instead they completely destroyed her role in the jungle. Is that serious to nerf already nerfed champion that got performance decrease after first nerf and nerf her heavy again? According to lolking.net she is already 11 at the pick ratio on the bottom.

Maybe the champion provides a lot of power when get feed, but outside of that, we have a useless crap that cannot compete with any other champion, if she has no items or the enemy is ahread, you already losed the game, because how horribly item dependant the champion is. All what she has is her scaling, nothing at all. Nobody plays her for a reason, and i recommend for you riot to test her out in normal games on your own skin. So you will notice how badly this champion is in need of any kind of rework. You cannot compromise a fighter and support giving it only scaling without any decent CC or base stuff. Fighters has good base abilities, support are not different, and kayle has nothing, but support and fighter kit without any aspects from those, that has no place in this game at all.

Kayle can do it? Do it on your own and show it to me, thx cya.

Not only jungle, but overall, champion cannot compete in the current meta anyway. She cannot do anything on the top already after 5 ad nerf, her trades are always in the favour of the stronger fighters, that outscales her early to mid game, expect few champions.

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-516-notes :

While Kayle's changes in 5.13 were to help her laning and ** ability to jungle** , the introduction of Sated Devourer in the same patch had the effect of cranking Kayle's already-great clear speed all the way up to 11, thanks to the extra chunk of damage she gets between casts of Righteous Fury. We don't want to disproportionately hit solo lane Kayle, so we're taking off… 5 AD.

Kayle jungle was viable during feral flare and if I remember well, even before that. The change to her E, the passive damage can sure help you CS under the tower, but generally you will use activate E and push the lane. If the enemy engages you and your E is on CD you are playing kayle dead wrong in lane. SO yes, they wanted kayle to be a viable jungler. Any champion with a change or two can get a new role. See gragas, that was mid, reworked into top, some skills balancing and is now a jungler. Hell, look at mordekaiser, that clusterf*** of "what the hell is his role?"

Kayle jungle buff and the possibility to jungle was just a pretext to nerf her 5 AD in lane. 4 Patches later kayle got gutted, with no compensation for her old roles.

I don't understand . . . her win rate dropped from 54% to 50%. Were the changes not, well, working-as-intended?
