i do agree though, kayle has a hard time scaling onhit damage through AP, AP per gold is nearly as expensive as AD yet kayle only scales 40%AP onhit which means you're paying double gold for the same damage output as AD.

compare this to champions with decent AD scales for burst like graves, they'd ramp up DPS a lot more quickly than kayle would per gold invested.

late game is another story though, kayle's massive burst on top of reasonably high ratios makes her overall DPS at the very least on par with standard ADC, but compared to hypercarries like vayne? not much.
