You are implying that AP Kayle has no damage until late game. Which is completely untrue. With just a Nashor's, she has more than enough sustained damage. Once she gets Lich Bane and Sorc Shoes (2900+1100+3000=7000 gold) towards the early stages of the game she can already melt adc's in seconds. As the game goes on and she amasses more ap items she can start melting tanks in seconds. AP Kayle is strong because she is well suited to using the extra ap ratios from nashors and lich bane. Her autos are instant so she can use a second proc of lich bane with her w very easily, compared to someone like annie whose autos take years to reach their target. If you look at Kayle's ratio's, she has 100% ap on her q, and 40% on her e. 100% bonus ad is just not worth investing into when you consider how expensive ad is. You might argue that Kayle does a lot of auto attacks so she will benefit from ad but there is a reason why all champions who rely on auto attacks to deal physical damage buy crit. Because crit scales much better than simply continuing to buy flat ad. As Kayle if you only have ~175 AD without crit you aren't going to do anything to that tank with 200 armor. That is why AD is useless if you are not an ADC or have good ad scalings on your abilites. Kayle is not an adc and does not have good ad scalings. Your life steal and spell vamp arguement overlooks how much extra heal (especially with changes) AP Kayle gets from w. You also say Kayle is not a burst mage, unlike Annie, Fizz, Brand, etc. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is exactly what Kayle is known for and it is exactly why her q is getting nerfed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOy0EuhGhNQ If that isn't burst I don't know what is. Please learn what is actually effective in a real game before saying that going AP on Kayle is a waste of potential. If anything, going anything else on Kayle is a waste of potential. I think your statement that Arcane Blade is a new mastery is a good indicator of your lack of knowledge.
