This whole LCS season I've been seeing Lulu and Lissandra top lane and I feel like Kayle was a champ punished for being a top lane mage. Is there any way she can get a AS bandaid buff or just have like passive 10%AS added to her ult? This is the reason why Zed and Kat are running rampant too.
EvilRabbitt1 votesJust a reason I'm confused but...
This build on her gives her E some AMAZING damage. Her E procs borks 5% damage, ludens splash on spell damage, shiv's splash on auto damage, gunblades dual damage, hurricanes aoe....its just unnatural. As long as Riot DOESN't try and nerf Kayle again, she may become my jungler or top (toss up with Kayle and Irelia and Fiora for each spot)....
(if she is jungle, her HG becomes devourer with chilling smite...so much sticking power)
This is to say, she needs no buffs. Imo.
Sir Yamazuki1 votesChampions don't have to be picked in the LCS to be good. She is played Top, Mid, and Jungle with success. Her win rate is 51~53%+ depending on which of the 3 roles she's put into for plat+. She just has a low play rate, but not all champions are going to be popular either.

To be fair to Riot -
Since Beta, Kayle has been going through a cycle where she's 100% pick-ban, Riot nerfs her, her player base gets salty and moves on, a new crop of players picks Kayle up and makes her 100% pick-ban, Riot nerfs her, her player base gets salty and moves on, a new crop of players picks Kayle up and makes her 100% pick-ban, Riot nerfs her, her player base gets salty and moves on, a new crop of players picks Kayle up and makes her 100% pick-ban....
I'm sure they're slightly relieved whenever Kayle isn't in the spotlight, because she usually steals said spotlight.
Kayle also has...a very limited set of weaknesses. She's one of the few champions that has moved between lanning positions with ease, being a solid mid-lane, top-lane, jungle, and support pick. Unusual compared to most champions - Kayle also maintains almost exactly the same build regardless of her lane position, being a solid duelist, jungler, AP carry, support, and even marksman with the same AP/AS stuff. Unusual to most champions - Kayle has also generally been nothing but power-spikes. Early game Righteous Fury makes her an absolute monster. Mid game her AP-Burst potential make her a threat, and late-game her AP/AS scaling is pretty close to hyper-carry status.
It's not difficult to imagine Kayle running away with the pick/ban phase if she's buffed by even the smallest amount. She's just so versatile and so strong in so many different ways.
