Talk:Kayle/@comment-25447003-20141028120705

Kayle has quite some weaknesses :  + slow mobility (vulnerable to gank &amp; CC)  + lack escape (Flash is the only way but expensive)  + not burst in mid game (which should be peak phase for most AP)   + low mana pool (always hungry when vs tough lane)   + low scale on Attack speed (less DPS trade vs melee)  + only 2 ways to cause damage, no longer burst (some champs has up to 6: AA + innate + QWER, not to mentioned double skill sets: Jayce, Nid, ...)  + ugly splash default (gender confusion, no fanservice)   I really wish Riot can make some buff for her in Season 5.   For now just a few builds might be still viable: 1/ tanky daMage: Nashor+WitEnd+Guinsoo+Randuin+Warmogs (boots Ionian -&gt; Elixirs -&gt; Zephyr) 2/ massive daMage: only when using MS quints ...   . Well, actually I did build Nashor+Hurricance early this year (thanks to a Diamond tip on youtube), and it turned out very sweet for a while. Unfortunately some guys were so smart that they claimed OP with Kayle's builds, which resulted in repeated nerfs: <p data-rte-new-node="true"> + Q nerf (lost ~40% damage) <p data-rte-new-node="true"> + Lich Bane nerfs (lost ~30% damage) <p data-rte-empty-lines-before="1" data-rte-fromparser="1" data-rte-new-node="true"> + E nerf (lost ~15% damage) <p data-rte-empty-lines-before="1" data-rte-fromparser="1" data-rte-new-node="true"> + attack speed nerf (lost ~6% damage) <p data-rte-empty-lines-before="1" data-rte-fromparser="1" data-rte-new-node="true"> + R nerf (lost mid game advantage &amp; team fight presence) <p data-rte-empty-lines-before="1" data-rte-fromparser="1" data-rte-new-node="true"> + incoming nerfs (for OP builds like mine ;-) , ok I'm QQ now ) <p data-rte-new-node="true">...
