About the Kayle nerf

I think you guys should find a way to kill the "korean" build that's just retarded without further nerfing AP Kayle, which honestly has been nerfed so hard this year. Starting with nearly half of Q's AP scaling on january, then her getting no compensation for the Lich Bane nerf like other champions did in March... now this attack range nerf will really hurt her laning. In fact now it makes many lanes very hard counters. Just an example of what 50 range can do to a champion: Kayle right now outranges--with E on-- Darius's E by 25 range. If you take that 50 range away not only will she not be able to poke Darius, she won't even be able to farm when facing him in lane. Then there's that bunch of other mid lane champions whose AA range will now surpass Kayle's, giving her an even harder time facing champions like Ziggs and Orianna. All ins by champions like Fizz, Zed and Talon will now be even easier and, obviously, her team fighting will be seriously affected by this.

I think making Holy Fervor apply on Q and the first target of her ranged basic attacks should do it, because the real problem with that build is that with Runaan's you can shred 3 people's armor and mr way too quickly.

i think the best way to nerf kayle is to hit her damage (one way is how u suggested) and keep her utility because i think thematically it fits her better: the protecting holy angel defending justice

I think the better thing to do is to nerf kayle's passive because it literally makes tanky top laners have a horrible laning phase or melee top laners in general and it allows kayle to shred all possible armor or mr that the enemy team might have and also dish out massive amounts of dmg and not only that but she essentialy doesnt need to buy any penetration and if she does its basically gg unless her team throws

i can agree with the passive nerf but i think it should be replaced completely if they are nerfing it because the numbers are already low enough u can't get worse and she'll be almost without a passive.

so i think changing it to something more utility like (to keep her damage in check) would be the right thing to do.

Kayle is still a nightmare despite these nerfs. Keep in mind the slow allows her to hit you with autos and back off, unless you are fizz or leblanc, who have many advantages.
