You half acknowledged it, but here's the correction: AD is superior sustained damage but AP is superior burst damage (and anti-burst). You seem to have the notion that burst is only useful if you can insta-gib people but this isn't true. Take your top lane advice for example. In your hubris you rely completely on outplaying your oppenent and give advice to only beat 'bad' Kayles. You declare that Kayle has a harder time with some match-ups because they can just 'bait' her Q's. This is a weakness of your build, not of Kayle's.  I build some AP. I build mana regen. They can 'bait' my Qs if they want, and they can keep taking the increased damage from it while they're at it. Doesn't bother me. Using Q for 'just' the damage is no less silly than using Q 'just' for the slow.

Building CDR and mana regen only takes away from your damage if you're looking for big numbers on a piece of paper. More spells, more often is more damage. And just what is it that you don't understand about AP ratios? 100 AP is 100 damage on Kayle's Q and 100 AP on another champion with 1.0 AP is 100 damage. Where does this double or triple damage come in to play? It doesn't, until you add in other factors. Triple damage on a character with a low base isn't in any way better than one with only double damage with a high base regarding AP effiency.

I keep bring up building mages as AD because that's almost what you're doing, and you seem to keep missing the point. Just what about Kayle makes you build AD? I'm talking pure AD, not aspd. AP is better for Q, and the splash damage is about the same AD or AP. This leaves auto-attack. Every champion in the game has a 1.0 AD ratio for auto-attack that can also feed off of aspd and crit. If you think move speed is the best stat, you don't care about building AD on champions that have little affinity for it, and you want a targetable not dying button, then AD Zilean is your main man. You don't seem to care about base AD since Kayle is below average, slightly above Heimerdinger, so really, what's stopping you?

Also, I saw a Tryndamere with 6 PD's on YT, was that you? More move speed is always better after all.

@Salami On a similar note, you already have a speed boost...so you run ghost? And you already have a slow...so you run Exhaust? More is always better I guess.
