^ Let me try this again.

Top lane carry IS NOT A NEW META. This has been around FOREVER. Ezreal and Corki provide this abiltiy to a team EVEN IF KAYLE DOES NOT EXIST. Even Vayne is a situational top laner against certain matchups, or Urgot, or Graves, or Caitlyn.

To Kayle vs. Ezreal/Corki specifically, while her utility is nice, keep in mind the following: Kayle has a completely different role in poking (she is a healer, not a poker), loses burst damage to the both of them, loses instant teamfight re-positioning to the both of them, loses shred to Corki, loses debuffing to Ezreal, and also doesn't match Ezreal teamfight AOE until the fight is already well underway (Trueshot Barrage is much better than Righteous Fury).

The fact that Kayle is showing up as a toplane carry, is not some harbinger of a new meta. She wasn't even a vital part of the comps in terms of utility, Dyrus wasn't using her ult very effectively (he burned it too early, or sat on it too long).
