kayle just wants someone who can either go in or buy time until she hits lvl 16 | ||

most people play kayle top and get a bit behind but its harder to punish with melee top lanes and junglers are more scary if you're a top laner there's generally much less action top lane which means it's not a big deal having no pressure, wheras bot lane having no pressure is a bigger problem cause of 4 man dives bot, support roams mid, drakes etc | ||

even if some guy tried it and it went well/badly it wouldn't mean anything because there are lots of factors at play in a game i mean the reason to try something is if you think its a good idea theoretically and want to test it in practice but if you don't think its a good idea then you're just asking how some guys game went | ||

Bot was discarded due to her being level based and I thought "Zilean might be able to alleviate that as a support and he's been played in that position in the past." That's literally the beginning and end of it. It's entirely a matter of curiosity as I've not played SR heavily for years, nor do I have a desire to play either of those champs. Congrats on being a dick about it, that is your brand after all. | ||

that's disingenuous. You are asking if someone tried it because you thought it might be a good combo. You thought it might be a good combo because you are following the reasoning that someone said "kayle needs levels" but I provided some more reasons why she could struggle in bot lane and wouldn't work well with zilean. I don't have a problem if you come up with an idea, and someone trashes it, and you discard it, but it annoys me if you come up with an idea, and then say "oh I never said it would be good". If you knew it wasn't good, you wouldn't care if anyone tried it. Hope this post made sense. I realize I'm making lots of words out of a throwaway post but it's hard to explain why my brain got annoyed at your second post. | ||

I realize I'm making lots of words out of a throwaway post but it's hard to explain why my brain got annoyed at your second post. My thoughts were a range of "it could at best be playable", since if it was actually good I wouldn't have to ask the question, I would have read about it somewhere else, to "it could just be bad" because Kayle would have too much of a problem csing for the synergy of the passives to be worth it as a bot lane. I don't tend to think in boolean logic. If I say I "Never claimed it was good"(my actual words, btw) that doesn't mean I was claiming it was bad either. I get that you got frustrated because you thought I was disregarding your post out of hand though. I wasn't, it just wasn't what I was asking for. | ||

Kayle only really need level 11 to take off which doesn't take that much longer in a duo lane, especially with a Zilean support. The biggest issue with playing her as the botlane carry is she's very weak in the duo lane that can abusive it much harder than the solo lanes. She would need a support that can effectively play 1v2 for a large part of the laning phase or have the jungler live down there. The biggest question to me is why pick her over Vayne/Kaisa/Twitch/Kog if you're looking for a hyper carry botside? | ||
