During the last few weeks I have made it a personal point to learn and experiment with underused champs and Kayle was on top of my list.

In a nutshell, Kayle can be an extremely effective champ, with the right team she can be gamechanging.

However, Kayle is also very hard to play well. Extreme mana issues severely hamper your early game if you dont have the masteries, runes AND items to counter it. Kayle does not well without her skills at all, so mana is a serious issue for her laning phase. If you fail in early game, you will be quickly demoted into a support role where other champs excel... waste of teamslot.

Kayle is one of those easy to learn but hard to master champions. Since she is a good but not extremely noteworthy champ, most people simply do not bother training with her until you get your routine down.

Also, Kayle is one of those pure hybrid champs. She can and will nuke, she can brawl, she can heal, slow enemies and hasten allies all in one mean package. Going full AD or AP just doesnt work quite as well as hybrid.
