I agree with the idea of Anivia, and Malzahar can actually work in theory. He can silence her if she starts to move close to him, has much more harass than her, and his voidling can actually give free damage on her without him getting hurt...not to mention his ulti, since there isn't much of a "visual warning" when Malz uses it, Kayle would have to guess when to use Intervention and if she doesn't guess right, she is either dead or will be forced to disengage due ot the surpression+damage.

The reason people don't know a "counter" to her is because she was rarely played as AP mid in S2. I played her alot of times, and I know a bunch of other people did too, but not enough to make it "common" so nobody cared to come up with a counter to her since the chance of playing against her was soo slim. Now that she is being played like that in a tournament, people are surprised and don't know what to do. Give it 2 weeks (a month at most) and there will be solid counterpicks to her.

In my opinion, the thing that makes her hard to counter is the fact that she is a "true" hybrid champion, she can build full AP, full AD, or a mix of AD/AP damage and still deal tons of damage. So you won't know what to prepare for until a while into the game when she has her 2nd -big- item buy. Also, if Kayle goes Hybrid damage, you can't "effectivly" counter both AD and AP without sacrificing damage. <-- thats the scary part of being against Kayle ^.^ (not to mention her pure awesomeness and great abilities)
