I said betr items cos rushing Runaan's isn't THAT useful. Most of the time u'd max Q first so even if u do rush Runaan's ur lacking power earlier on. Considering the fact that if u get it before ur lane phase is over, ur pushing power skyrockets. That's the good bit. The downside is that u lack genuine power outside of what ur E and Nashor's provide. I did try out what u did earlier this season. It is good, but its a situational item or betr used as a finisher item for when team fights start at Late Game.

A CORE item is something that augments all of a Champion's performance at once in all areas or every Primary aspect of a Champion in general. Nashor's is a CORE item cos it gives Kayle everything she needs to round out her general performance. She needs CDR to cast her spells betr and have faster access to her E, 60 AP to raise her Kit's power and a huge chunk of AS and a damage modifying Passive to boot. It synergises with ALL of her Kit. Runaan's doesn't do anything Nashor's does. Using it as a Build Finisher is an optimal choice, but it is not a Core Item.

Also, another reason to why it isn't a core item on Kayle is cos Kayle isn't a pure ranged type. She needs to keep her E active to make use of it. The only thing Runaan's will provide Kayle all the time is 70% AS and that's just one statistic. Tell me, would u rather get an item that gives 2-3 extremely beneficial stats to ur Champion in a moderate amount? Or give ur Champion one ridiculous chunk of stat that requires other items to work with?

Unless u can guarantee that u can kill a specific target within the 10 second time frame or max out Kayle's CDR to the cap, Runaan's would be wasted on Kayle. Besides, early to mid game, there are barely any grouped up team fights. That kinda orthodox scenario already wastes Runaan's potential by half and when ur engaging an opponent 1v1, the only thing u'll get from the item is 70% AS, whether ur ranged or not. Get something else first to round out ur performance THAN get it. If u build right, u can get Runaan's as early as the 4th item. If u really need it early game, do it only when ur behind in farm and ur gettin pushed alot.
