From what I understand carries have a duality to their term. One, they are supposed to be able to carry their team and be the damage dealer, which seems to be the definition most players use. That would be AD and AP, as a burst nuke could cause the wipe of enmey team.

Then there is the definition that they get better the later the game progresses, meaning they need to be carried or helped farm until then. Again, both AD and AP are carries in that respect, since AD usually has a support to farm while AP is solo so they can get 100% of the creeps.

Kayle as support isn't so great yet, but I think the buffs will def improve that. Zilean is good at second life and harass, also finishing a kill with the slow/speed, but he is squishy and can't fight much on own. Kayle doesn't have those weaknesses, and can even carry herself. Her support options are more limited, but she can be more aggressive then Zil, especially early game. Kayle also has a second life in her ult in a sense, as if you shield a high dps ally with LS, they will gain back almost all their health in those few seconds.
