Is it me or or the Kayle rework is a straight Huge buff to her in all ways ?

Imo the old Kayle was strong , she sure had her problems but when she got some items she was Pain to deal with , Had times where she actually 1v5'd and won

Just saying she is Okay right now , a rework to her outdated kit is surely welcome but

not gonna mention every small detail but , The difference between her Old vs New abilities :

Q : got changed from Point Click to an Aoe skill shot that shreds armor and magic resist But now since it's Aoe , I can't help but to think of it as a Buff

W : almost the same but now the Heal and MS are on her and a targeted ally , so it's a direct Buff

E : it's kind of the same , Still don't know the numbers

R : a Direct Huge buff , the Same Old Ult but now it has an Aoe damage too

Is this really okay ? I know she is a new work and has to be popular but she got buffed in every single way , also she has True damage and she actually becomes Ranged at level 11 and more lol

dont forget passive lv 16 gives true dmg permanently , she way to front loaded now , only thing she missing is hard cc and execute dmg its going to be a pick or ban champ , then on top of that for the people that play 3s and that funneling is still a thing YIKES

If a Kayle is 1v5'ing you either let her get fed or scale into the deep dark depths of the late game. I honestly don't think she's all that strong as it currently stands, and her rework looks like it's not going to be much more of a threat.

"Q : got changed from Point Click to an Aoe skill shot that shreds armor and magic resist But now since it's Aoe , I can't help but to think of it as a Buff"

Her Q already shreds armor and MR on live, just that it's a point and click. By changing it to a skill-shot there is at least outplay potential on the side of the targets of the ability. I'd consider it more of a change than a buff.

"W : almost the same but now the Heal and MS are on her and a targeted ally , so it's a direct Buff"

I'll agree this was a buff.

"E : it's kind of the same , Still don't know the numbers"

Functionally the same, yes. I'm willing to bet it's either similar or worse early game and better late game than current Kayle.

"R : a Direct Huge buff , the Same Old Ult but now it has an Aoe damage too"

Almost. I'd say wait for the number on the AOE damage before making this claim, as it currently appears as if there is a cast animation for the AOE that prevents Kayle from auto-attacking or using abilities for the duration of her ult.

"Is this really okay ? I know she is a new work and has to be popular but she got buffed in every single way , also she has True damage and she actually becomes Ranged at level 11 and more lol"

The true damage doesn't come into play until level 16. Games are super mid-game focused right now so unless someone royally fucks up and somehow feeds the Kayle she shouldn't even get the opportunity to hit those power spikes. There are plenty of other champions that can also be considered late-game hyper-carries that I'd argue can still compete with her.
