I can say I did "fairly" well with her last game, ending with 1/4, since enemy Jax's Sheen build did 90% of his work against me. I'm not too mad since I'm teamed with a Quinn ADC, Rengar "support", & Olaf.
So can any guys give me tips on how to play her? In terms of build path, path in maxing, etc?
The first thing you should build is Nashor's Tooth or Wit's End. Both are situational. Wit's End in case you are against an AP champion or a tank, like Nautilus or Zac. Reminder that buildling Wit's End will take away the CD benefit on Nashor's Tooth so your "Into the Fray" E won't come up as often. Take a Morellicon somewhere in the build later IF you took Wit's End. Though it's not mandatory. Next is Runaan's Hurricane, followed up by lifesteal item. Hextech Gunblade or Blade of the Ruined King.... That's your choice. Now, those are four item slots done, you build just a bit tanky. Guardian's Angel and Frozen Mallet. Path, max E first for maximum splash damage. Even while they farm, they'll get harassed. Try not to get close. Your Q is the second. When you are being ganked, Q whoever has the better gapcloser, and W yourself and run. MS boost will be more than enough. If it doesn't, burn flash or ult. Jax is a problem. Try to QW away when he uses counterstrike.
if they outsustain you and got a gap closer ur kinda fucked jax can hop on you every time and unless you blow your skills, you cant out trade him... does that sound familiar? and if you do blow your skills, you wont have mp and now you definitely cant beat him... now what? fuq it, dont play kayle in such situations
so pick kayle wisely and the rest should be intuitive
kayle pretty much has to shove the lane in. she has a hard time freezing due to her E, and you can't really risk going in melee range of Jax to farm.
just shove with your E and avoid fighting. jax is a pretty hard counter to kayle unfortunately so just try to farm as best as you can, take the turret when he isnt there and start grouping with your team.
