A way to buff Kayle early game without overpowering her

Kayle pre level 11 is pretty weak, even with items, and thats alright, due to the fact she becomes a monster once she gets the items and the last level form.

However, csing with Kayle against any matchup is pretty Dark Souls level impossible, due to the fact she gets autodamaged and outkited by almost any champion. My idea would be to Give her E a 30% mana and 40% CDR Refund if it kills a unit. This would give Kayle a way to lane without being massively punished every time she tries to contest a minion even if the lane is pushed towards her.

This would also keep Kayle numbers the same, thus not risking the possibility of overbuffing or buffing Kayle early game, statwise.

Then can we please give Malphite Q the same thing for the same reasons? Ty.

How is this nerfing her late game or what late game needs are you trading for the early buffs?

I've read this idea a bunch of times but...

i don't think it's a good one. It would help her out pre 6. For sure.

But post 6... she would be so damn oppressive! Just rush Sheen and AFK waveclear while poking your opponent into oblivion! BAD IDEA!

Meanwhile, Shen needs 2 points in his Q to farm casters under turret (or hit once, wait for a turret shot, and hit once more but that's if your own minions are not fucking you up). Joke aside, she's pretty disgusting in lane even if she's behind. She'll come back no matter what so why should she have easier access to gold? It would just make her more powerful earlier IMO.

Thats the onky way to keep her down. If you let her farm early she will be OP mid game and late game

There is no way to buff her early in any way without overpowering her unless it comes with a nerf to her beyond godlike late. A partial mana/cd refund on her E would be my first choice for an earlygame buff aswell though.

they should also make her range scaling instead of just instantly have her become a ranged champion at lvl 11. that should definitely go through imho.

Like, it doesn't even deserve to be questioned.

she should get more and more range every level up until it caps at lvl 11.

If they think she doesn't deserve it, then they really just need to rethink the champion in general.
