"Enemy Carry had GA, enemy mid laner had Abyssal. So both primary targets in the enemy team had as much MR as they could possibly get in a normal build."

I doubt that they were running as much MR as possible. Scaling MR Glyphs? Resistance from the Defense tree? Runic Bulwark from the tank/jungler? That's another 59 MR that doesn't require itemization from the carry/mage.

The difference is stark. Assuming 8% MPen + Liandry's and ignoring Kayle's passive, a naked GA reduces magic damage by 28.6%, or 48.6% when adding those MR items I mentioned. Literally the full MR build takes 28% less damage from this Kayle, and that doesn't account for an Abyssal on Kayle's team.

Any build will wreck face when the enemy doesn't protect themselves properly. The difference with "carry level" damage, is that carries (actually carries, with triple multiplicative scaling) are tank-busters as well.
