I'm surprised at how resilient Kayle has been this whole time. First her heal got reduced, then her Q lost on its AP ratio, then  was nerfed without any compensatory buffs to her E, and she's still going very strong (her win rate is ~54% and her ban rate is ~23%). I think her laning phase is extremely safe, and can be extremely oppressive to other mid laners, considering she can both outrange and out-trade her opponents with her E alone, so I think the range reduction is justified to allow her adversary to retaliate better. However, this may significantly impact on her mid and late game, where she'll also be significantly more vulnerable, so time will tell whether she'll need a boost to her heal or base stats to compensate.
