Yes. Starts boots + 3 pots, get double Doran's Blades and Zeal. Kayle shuts down melee-based top lanes pretty hard, either via straight-up ranged harass or superior pushing power. Build into a carry lategame.

Be careful of top lanes with AS debuffs like Lee Sin or Malphite. Instant gap closers can also be problematic in certain circumstances. The general idea is to get in their faces right at level 1-2, where you can win trades and/or kill them right off the rip. Run them off the creep line and prevent them from CS'ing. Push hard against people who can't push back (like WW or GP), and make them lose CS to their tower and/or push it down so that you can roam. Etc.
