@Meddler Context on the Kayle nerf?

Hey Meddler! I was hoping for a "why" to the nerf on Kayle? The %armor shred seemed to be super important to have in this world of regularly 200+ armor tanks.

They don't want to nerf item 3124 so instead they're nerfing every champion that uses it one by one.

i just said this on another thread but i think it not directed at hurting kayle but hurting kayle's team. she primarily does magic damage so the armor shed is hidden power for the ad champions on her team.

Kayle used to be a hybrid champion so having both armor and magic resist reduction made sense at the time. But the meta has changed and she does almost strictly does magic damage now so having an Armor shred doesn't necessarily benefit her damage much. The only thing it does at this point is buff her AD allies.

Kayle has a 55% winrate in top lane and has been a tyrant for months, so finally they're reducing her power.
