^ Just to put a number on that, by the way, compare Rageblade to Doran's + B.F. Sword. The costs are close (2235g vs. 2125g), and it mirrors an actual build path for each type of Kayle (early Guinsoo's vs. early Blade + B.F start).

Forget the AS and lifesteal/health for a minute. It's +55 AD vs. +35 AD/45-93 AP. Single target damage prior to this patch was 55 physical vs. 35/9-18 phys/magic with Righteous Fury. Hybrid loses this no matter how you slice it. But now, hybrid is 35/18-37 phys/magic: this is a clear win for hybrid in single-target DPS, even without any stacks on Rageblade, even if you don't consider that MR will be lower than Armor at this point of the game.

Now take into account that hybrid's Q is 31-73 points better, and the heal is 16-32 points better. Hybrid is looking pretty good now, and that's not an accident. You keep this advantage until AD get their trio of death: IE/PD/LW.
