Genuinely speaking, I was focusing on ur preference from the part about the masteries and I forgot we were speakin about Top lane play so that is a mistake on my part. Now for my suggestions.

As I mentioned before (I hope I did, cbfed reading all my prev posts. Too fkin long), I prefer playing Kayle with either a 21/0/9, 21/9/0 or 9/0/21 mastery configuration. With the first configuration, the focus is either ADC, Hybrid On-Hit or APC focus respectively. With this mastery, I can't take too much hit like U can, that I'm much aware of. However, I can deal more damage in drawn out fights If I'm on a one-sided offensive and since I know that I am low on HP, I am instinctively alert to everything goin on in da game.

With the 21/9/0 Configuration, I sacrifice the speed I usually have from the Utility set for the Extra HP and Defensive measures. I do this if I decide to take on the role of a Jungler or I wanna focus more on exchanges, meaning, I get Surge with either Flash or Ignite.

I do have a 9/21/0 Mastery configuration like the one u recommended to Y=kx+m, But I don't use it as often cos I want the faster Flash use and I rarely take spells related to the Defensive Tech Tree. I don't know what Summoner Spells u use, but I'm guessing it's usually outside the Utility department.

As for ur statement, 'defensive Kayle is not passive Kayle', I'm sure I stated somewhere that 'a good offence is a good defence'. Works vice versa too right? The main reason to why I say that Kayle doesn't need Defensive masteries is cos she can get Runes for it if she needs it. I normally get Armor and MR runes for solo top Unless I prefer to stay sharp like a sword. And I go 21/0/9 not only for the constant active speed from Swiftness, but cos I get both Armor AND Magic Pen. I specialise in Hybrid play and make use of my innate to their fullest. So I go like this all da time.

Also, if I get bulky with Kayle, my opponent will be less confident in fighting me. Personally, I want them to chase me so that I can bait them.
