How do I play Kayle early game?

I do little to no damage unless im consistently poking, but I get blown up easily. I'd try to just farm then, but it's impossible not to push unless i'm not using E, and if I'm not using E then I'm melee, which makes me more vulnerable to get blown up. Her counterplay is basically running into a bush and you're golden, also she goes oom easily.

My build is usually :

My runes are: Attack speed quints , AD/lvl Marks , AP/lvl Glyphs , Health/lvl Seals.

Mid - late game I'm okay, but early game, I have no Idea how to prevent from feeding and keeping up.

Attack speed marks, seals, quints, scaling CDR glyphs. E-W-E-Q-E-R. Max E then W. Use Q only during ganks or to save yourself from one. Rush Nashors, berserker greaves, into Hurricane, then deathcap and zhonyas (in whichever order you feel is best) and finally GA. Push, push, push. Take scuttle ran whenever your lane is pushed. Farm, farm, farm and by 20:00 you'll be a monster.

I would swap out berserks for sorcs give you extra damage with your passive and just start flask and farm with your E and poke with your Q E

Sometimes I max my Q instead of E idk the damage and slow just seems alot more useful than what E provides... and its not like you're gonna use it any less or its gonna feel any less useful at lvl1 ;l

Focusing on Attack speed and ap is usually good on her rather than ad like tri. Runnan's or lich bane also works on her.

For the first 3-5 mins usually just farm, as the other laner will do. It's ok to melee a minion and get harrased, as long as you return the harrass. For safe trading, get q first and e second. Or if you just wanna farm safely, get e and don't harass. Also rush some mana regen or mana if you have problems. You also don't have to push early game. It's dangerous if you get caught pushed up and you're likely to be ganked if they have the right jg. If you're up against someone who harasses you endlessly and you can't do shit about it, get a flask. Remember, you're not supposed to do damage early game.

Which lane are you playing in? If you can shove mid fast enough, it's not a big deal to shove it into the opponent's tower and back off until the next wave comes. Make sure to buy wards every time you back. Same thing top, except because most top laners are melee, you can usually get away with farming without your e, not to mention because you can ward river easily, pushing up isn't a big deal either.

If you know you're going to use lots of mana to harass, then start with flask. I usually don't harass unless I can heavily chunk them out (pretty often actually if they overextend a bit trying to poke me or to farm), land your q and you can get lots of free autos off. Remember to move between attacks. If you really need some guidance, go look on youtube. Wingsofdeath for top, and bjerg for mid. You only have to watch the first 10 or so minutes since you only want the early game.

While your hybrid build is fine, esp if it's working for you, I feel like hybrid kayle actually falls off harder late late game compared to full AP kayle, so my preference is to go lich bane, void staff, possibly dfg instead of triforce, guinsoos, and gunblade. But as I said, if it works for you, it's fine. And hybrid kayle is a monster mid game / early late game.

I feel rushing a Nashor's is always the route to go, as Kayle you have a pretty good early game in terms of farming. Max your E first to farm easily, be conscious of farming and poking at the same time. If the enemy is a melee, you have a huge advantage. Like Dr Uundor said, building Sorcs is really good for damage, and in my opinion, if you have AS quints and a Nashor's your AS is pretty beastly.

Also, just a personal preference, on a lot of champions I play. The flask is a super strong starting item, provides lots of sustain!
