Well, even if it's not your favorite item, Nashor's is objectively better now. The price dropped 150g and it got about 200g worth of extra AP on it, so the value went up while the cost went down.

I mean, suppose you built an item with 10 MP/5, 25% CDR, and 50% AS. All three stats are useful for Kayle, and the MP/5 and CDR are enough that you need nothing from any other items (which lets you build Berserker's Greaves, avoid a Philo etc). Using conversion rates based on other items, this new item costs you about 2800g or so. This is basically what Nashor's costs now, except that you get the +65 AP for free.

Sure, nobody builds straight AP on Kayle, but how about AP on an item that you'd use anyway? That's +65 damage to Q, +23 to her heal, and an extra +13 magic damage splash. You build the Stinger first, and sit on it until upgrading later on.

Maybe it's not optimal, but it's not laughable now either.
