Kayle Balanced?

Alright so I've played kayle as my go to top laner or mid laner the past few months and honestly years. I've found with a nashor/berserker/runaans/guinsoos and whichever two items you want it basically doesn't matter, she can essentially out dps any one in the game and definitely kite better than most with her Q and W. Her ult makes her invulnerable, so during this 2-3 second time period you're putting out insane AOE damage while not being able to be touched. If you just play safe in lane and use her E to farm really well she'll come out on top of any matchup once she gets nashor's. So my question is, why isn't this more popular?

Early game is pathetic, very dependent on the player getting the items early to out dps, abilities too simple (no cc, mana costs drain your mana pool). Overall a bad champ to pop off as, unless your enemy laner is stupid and lets you farm and kill them. champions like irelia pop off sooner than kayle when she gets only trinity and can proceed to dump on kayle. tanks can build mr to counter your early ap and dunk you hard with cc.

Has a lot of counters lanes, not too mention doesn't bring very much to a team comp. Her E is auto-push in lane, and whilst she has high DPS it's nothing better then another ADC.

Ever played against a kayle who hasn't been fed? As someone who has and developed pretty fun "counters" to her (corki being a rather fun one as literally every package you get is basically a free kill on her, and with his poke you can simultaneously push the wave while widdling down her hp bar), I can honestly say that at 30mins practically every character barring AD janna/soraka out-dps a kayle that doesn't have 2-3 items.

Alright well let me try and add some comments from my experiences. Yes, her E does auto-push in lane, however in my opinion since she does rely on items to achieve the dps if you concentrate on playing safe and farming until you have nashor's you will not do poorly. Also her mana pool isn't drained that quickly in my experience due to the fact early game you're essentially farming with a single ability that you end up recovering the mana from due to a doran ring start.
