Oh THAT! Lol. I was wondering about your question. But before I explain to you about the importance of CDR, let me clear up the 0.2 sec delay first. See if Kayle's CDR on E was 10 secs or above, you'd be adding 0.2 secs on her E when activating it. But when her CDR is at 40%, your CD on E is 9.7 secs. The delay is completely mitigated and u can continuously attack with ur E vamped AA cos the 0.2 sec is within the 10 seconds duration of Righteous Fury. Therefore, keeping it up at all times without leaving any visible openings. Most ppl, to be safe, always try to fight Kayle when her E is down. This method completely patches that hole up and lets you go into fights without worry.

As for your late game question. It's true if your team is well coordinated, CDR may not be AS important since they can staunch the enemy from trying to overwhelm your position when E runs out and w8 for you to be ready again. But this is only possible when it is a premade Team Game, where everyone knows each other and have played together numerous times. In random games and Solo Queue, there are very few ppl who understand this inside weakness of Kayle's E and therefore don't care much about it. Not to mention Most late game fights are literally overwhelming hack n slash and therefore last less than 10 secs. The CDR is still essential late game though if you depend heavily on Kayle's AA.

Of course even if you ARE intending to max out CDR, anyone with common sense wouldn't just spam buy or prioritise CDR gears first. That's plain stupid. Buy core items first than, depending on the scenario, get CDR early or later. For example, Nashor's is a core item on Kayle and the CDR in most cases, is just icing on the cake literally. This lets you get 1-2 other items to amplify your performance THEN let's you get a finalising item early or a CDR gear. If I was the type to just spam CDR item, then I wouldn't mind everyone on this forum calling me an idiot for it. :3
