^ You want to be very careful about reading anything out of my match history. I never solo queue, I only play with friends, and my builds are heavily influenced by the circumstances of the match. For example, that 2/1/25 performance was a shitshow of a game where every lane except mine was feeding, and I had to build an Aegis on a backline support, because Shen's build was complete foolishness. It may be that we held on as long as we did because I was playing all-out, but you'd never be able to tell that from lolking stats.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of Kayle's purpose as a "hybrid". It's not for any "jack of all trades" crap, it's to melt people with Q + autoattacks, and have a decent heal. What you don't seem to understand, is that a "master of none" approach to itemization leaves you with a serious hole in your offensive power. Going split AD/AP leaves you with an inability to leverage EITHER of them.

You don't force the enemy to make "hard choices" about their builds: if you are top lane, you can safely build AS/AP and dare them to build MR. It doesn't matter what their choice is, because you'll either ignore it (they build a little or nothing), or you just add a Void Staff to your build. In any case, stacking MR against you just leaves them exposed to the carry, and your passive shred un-does a portion of their itemization even if you ignore them.

Ionian boots are dumb on Kayle. If you can't think of a better pair of boots, you are not trying hard enough. Nashor's + mastery CDR is literally all that you need, barring a random blue elixir foran important teamfight. Perma 25% AS >>>> 15% CDR that you don't need.

I am ignoring the rest of your rant. Not responding to your random tangents that have nothing to do with anything that I said.
