Current testings and analysis on my part shows that Kayle's early game has been slightly weakened by the 40% nerf on Reckoning's AP Scaling. The buff on the W however, has made the Support and Jungle (AP variant) roles much more powerful in the early game while Kayle's Mid and Late Game powers have actually skyrocketed in terms of overall performance.

Chasing and Escaping has become much easier and the fact that the Ultimate is now free has made her invaluable. It is harder for the enemy laner in Top Lane to dive the tower to attempt a kill on u, even with Support from the Jungler due to the free to cast Ultimate, making resource exhausting tactics pretty irrelevant after lvl 6.

Top Lane's Skill Ranking has become more flexible thanks to the alteration on Q. You can now focus on maxing Q like always and there is hardly any difference in the Early Game due to the lack of funds in the beginning. Ranking E is also a good choice if one gains the advantage.
