Kayle is by far one of the most heavy late game champs on the game, most of the times kayle will start to make a comeback at lvl 11 and sometimes can go 1v5 at lvl 16

her POV: from the ground, the weakest, underdog to ---> 1v5 is not fair... for them

Also, kayle has the most dynamic playthrough i got to know, from melee to range, can be built as ap or ad, weakest to strongest, can be toplaner, midlaner and... ps ps here, yeah, come here, she can also be played as supp or adc/apc botlaner, uh? what do u say? JG kalye? WOW WOW WOW hey, thats goign to far... or maybe...

However, Kayle is also one of the most rewarding toplaner, go easy on enemy toplaner at the begging, get some cs, wards, dont die, do ur stuff, well done and be rewarded being DA MONSTER, win condition, u'll get to see some of the sickest plays to take u down, and by ulting (R) ruining that

As former OTP Kayle i can say, you can always go kayle.

Deep intel:
52.32% WR.

Kayle for sure can go on any enemy or ally comp, no problem, but if you really wanna know, nor u dont know anything bout kayle, no problem.

But first, ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS: Kayle hardest counter, is Kayle

On how to counter guide or not being countered the main thing to consider is that you can counter yourself, and i am not speaking of picking kayle against Nasus, i mean that if you dont built her or play her properly you ruin yourself and that's why you lose playing kayle, kayle has movement speed, attack speed, high damage, her W that heals on give ms, her q that slows and decreases magic resistance, her E that executes and cut's attack animation, and of course her R that parry almost everything in game, you just have to endure 8 to 15 mins on every game and the rest of the match is your reward by not ruining yourself

Your team considerations:
Full AD team --> go AP
Full AP team --> go AD

Full squeashy or late game team --> Don't go kayle
(As i formerly said, you can always kayle, but, if your team is has squeashy jg or midlane or supp, late game jg or mid, by the very begging of the game and by mid game u will be losing, and by being kayle itll be, on your team POV, your fault, just by picking a hard late game champ, there wont be frontlane so enemy team can pick you easier, you wont have prio, top side objectives are not an option)

Abbusive toplaner --> must not kayle
Champs like camille, jax, volibear, RIVEN or Kled are and absolute hell to lane against as kayle, they may not be hard counters but surely are some of the champs that can easily dive you under tower, maybe not riven, but she is the most, by far, pain in the *** toplaner while playing kayle, like if theres a top pain in the *** toplaners like:

Top 5 painful toplaners while playing kayle:
1.- Riven
2.- Pantheon/kled/
3.- Nasus
4.- Mordekaiser/Volibear/Quinn
5.- Ryze Top

The main difference in the last top is: they can punish u if u do the smallest mistake OR if you dont, get that? you can play by doing not any mistake, and lose lane, these are champions that can punish Kayle on many different ways, by not playing passively they crush u, by going to far from ur turret thery crush u, if you play way to passive, easily rotate, crush your team, get to crush you

Kayle has the versatility to make you hesitate while thinking on which build u'll use

While AD build will make you get DPS aerlier than an AP build, remember that while Kayle scales with both AD and AP, her abilities do AP damage, so building AD will get you to do actually both damage types, TABIS, armour and magic resistance on enemy team will feel heavier, the LVL 1 PASSIVE, W and E execute wont scale, youll feel squishier.

And i said all that while i actually like to play AD kayle more than AP

AP build is the most popular, and it'll be always more popular than AD kayle

AD KAYLE Pros:
DPS at earlier stage of the game
Get to cs better at earlier stages of the game
Get to win trades at earlier stages of the game
Different ways to build
Dynamic plathrough
High AS MS and mixed damage
Runnans Huricanne synaergie
LVL 11 AoE passive can crit

AD KAYLE CONS:
LOW HP
LOW scale rythm
Late game not as good as AP build
Bad armour and magic resistance items

AP KAYLE PROS:
ME (Im a Kayle pro xd)
More damage at Late game
BETTER EXPLOITATION of PASSIVE, W, E and ULT

AP KAYLE CONS:

Every enemy toplaner wins against kayle on early game.
Abilities cost too much mana and also kayle has only 350 mana pool, W just to farm+poke, try just to use it to take cannons, W to scape from the enemy, cuz it's heal is not worth until late game.

But, you know that and you dont go to lane thinking on win or lose lane, nah, by aerly game dont think about that and lane thinking on your positioning, getting the most cs you can without having to trade, and remember cs can be changed, youll get kills laters, but if you die you lose control. Enemy toplaner will always think on how to kill you, ruin your cs, your mental, your positioning, your tempo, your everything cuz they have the chances to kill you if you try to face them. I (the one writing this) am a doctor, at the very begging of the career everyone knows more than you, can punish you hard, and give more of yourself on what you are doing than most of the ppl you know, its like that, until you fully become a doc, and ppl start to look up to you, thinking bout that its quite the same, place your look down and endure everything until you get to be THAT person, the one everyone needs, your word will be followed, but only if you endure a challenging beggining, cuz ally laners will not endure, resist nor face the same conditions you face on top lane, specially when you are playing kayle, in the unknown and god's abandoned place top is, the help most of the time you will recieve is from yourself

Ppl dont know kayle, your true power spike is at lvl 16 but they see you'va started to do damage AoE at LVL 11, got to do damage and you as they can be fooled by the wrong thought that you can start focusing on teamplay, you can start making them win, and that can maybe somehow and perhaps, be true, but dont be fooled,

MOST OF THE TIMES YOU LOSE PLAYING KAYLE WILL BE CUZ OF MISTAKES YOU DO AT MID GAME, MORE THAN MISTAKES YOU DO AT EARLY GAME

remember that, you still need to get cs, to get solo exp, etc.

At mid game most of the times, youll already hace NASHOR'S TOOTH, FULL BOOTS and be on Rabbadon proyect, 1 or 2 rods and beign close to get that item, maybe you gave a good performance and are above your anemy toplaner and be on your way to get your 3rd item.

But you still need to play by your own, split push is not for everyone but you gotta try it, your team will be teamfighting for bot side objectives so its a nice moment to get those 500 gold on taking down 2nd turret on top side, and if your team got a teamfight for an top side objective you can do the same by split pushing botlane for another 500 gold, the dilemma here is when to do this. It's something only you can know at that very moment, cuz there are different stuff to consider, if your team is doing good or is behind, if they are too behind, if theres good frontlane for you or not, if they were *******s with you, if you are behind or not, yet most of the times itll be more rewarding to splitpush, than going to teamfight for a drake, maybe baron its more important cuz you can lose the match if your whole team dies and enemy team gets baron

Just take this, on mid game you gotta still be playing for your late game, and as you are not as powerfull as some other allies you can have, dont be scared on ulting and ally, thats tha most help you can give from lvl 6 to lvl 15

PAY ATTETION: GO TO YOUTUBE AND EAR ON LOOP EITHER "I'm Still Standing" or "STAR WALINKIN"- Lil Nas X, or make a queue with "Hostage - Connor"-Nina Fakhrara (you can start listening to this song since lvl 11), "Hero"-Grabbitz or google epic score soundtrack to 1v9 nerds

You've become DA MAN, go die to give em some gold and make the game a bit fair for them, theyll need to 1v9 you, like the 5 enemies stick together against you and your 4 allies abandon you to take you down

Okay, dont like it ruin your mental, you maybe now be the protagonist of a quite wacky Isekai but, you can still die, you can still lose,

The promess, the promess of playing kayle has come and now you gotta play to make worth the stuff you endured on early-midgame

RULES:

1.- Your R it's ONLY FOR YOURSELF, like only cast it with Alt+R just to make sure it'll only be for yourself, and you'll only use it to parry dangerous enemy combos and sometiomes to save an ally that is worth of it, mentalize this, "is he worth of my ult? is he more important than me, a lvl 16 4 items kayle?", if the answer is YES, go save ppl ulting an ally, but most of the times youll save more allies by being ally and killing the enemy team and literally saving em with your ult

2.- Your most important stuff in the next order is: R, zhonyas, literally everthing else, then your team
