I have to agree with Orpheos. In a larger context its wrong to believe that belonging to TL automatically makes you better/worse. Also in a lot of cases Summoner Level doesn't reflect skill-level.

Side note: I'm not sure it's fair to draw conclusions about elo at this time. Not enough games have been played.

Playing alot of games early on doesn't mean that that's your actual rank.

Though quite a few TLers were in top 500 yes

So after playing kayle in all but 2 of my ranked games I'm pretty sure shes the

a) easiest carry to get farmed with
b) strongest mid game carry by far
c) has the most utility of any carry.

Every game i have won i've been far ahead in kills and had less deaths in all of the games i won combined than i did with the 1 game i lost lol.

There doesnt seem to be a logical reason why anyone would pick another ranged carry because they just dont have the DPS and Utility of kayle.

utility of kayle maybe, but dps? i definitely feel like there are champs with higher dps than kayle late game.

The problem is that her early/mid game dps is so huge you don't get to the late game. With 3 relatively easily built items you can just steamroll pretty much anyone.

I mean even at level 2 I was soloing middle against a katarina and was pushing her back with QE auto attack spam. Q + E + 1 auto attack took away almost 1/4 of her hp =/

The thing thats probably OP about kayle is she reaches her critical mass for dps so quickly that everything else is just icing on the cake. Im sure a Yi or tryndamere can out dps her but because she does half magic half physical damage she can pretty much kill any ranged carry (ashe, tristana, etc) without breaking a sweat. Most melee champions are food for her because with her Q slowing, ranged attack, and W to increase her move speed AND heal you can kite all day and never die. If you do somehow manage to get caught just ult and fly away safely.

Sometimes solo queue doesn't fail O_o



About Kayle, she's definitely strong yes, but I think of her as more of a midgame carry a'la singed than a real lategame carry. And she can still be stopped when playing properly

I think it has to do with the way her DPS grows relative to her items. Early/mid game her Q does a ridiculous amount of damage, which is further compounded by getting a Blasting Wand/Fiendish Codex as an early game item. By the time you do farm up enough gold to finish your Guinsoo's/Nashor's Tooth, you've also gotten to the point where E can become a huge source of your damage, which synergizes perfectly with the item you finished.

So, what should Kayle aim for after the guinsoo nashor combination? Hextech feels like it's too costy, I've been thinking about something like The Black Cleaver but I really can't seem to figure out a good synergizing item for her. Zhonya feels kind of meh. I've also been thinking about Will of the Ancients or something but can't seem to find anything that'd really go along the same route that nashor and guinsoo do.

yea i havent really figured out what to get at that point either. i dont think it should be something constant. i think if im having a hard time or getting FF early on, ill pick up a GA. if they are stacking armor or you just want to take down towers really fucking fast, LW is great. BTs are nice for win more since you farm pretty fast with maxed E. i would definitely go with an AD item thou since at that point dps is more important to you than your Q burst.

I've actually started to think about Deathfire Grasp. It'd reduce her cooldowns to nothingness for perma-E and Q, synergizes with Q to some degree, and gives her AP and mana regen as well. I think it's worth a try~

Youmu might be able to do both. If her E worked with Youmu's active I'd certainly pick it I think.

GA is of course an option if you can't do much

i just get 9/0/21 and flat cdr blues which gets me really close to 40%(within 1% i think) cdr right when i get nashor because i dont feel like waiting/investing in another cdr item.

what are you guys taking for summoner spells on kayle? im taking flash/cleanse recently, but i wonder if i should take ignite instead of flash now that its gotten an inadvertant buff.

I take ghost and cleanse on like every champ so~


But yeah I don't even have flat cdr blues, I don't think my mres blues are amazing for kayle <_> Deathfire grasp still gets boosted by Q so it should result in some imba burst

What summoner skills to get on Kat? Since Flash is getting removed soon, I'm considering the following:

Heal - Always nice to have more HP right?
Exhaust - To get in an additional hit of my DL before Rylai's hits
Cleanse - Always useful in escape
Clarity - I'm always out of mana on Kat
Ghost - Chase/escape
