If you could prove otherwise, that would be awesome. But I highly doubt that will be the case.

The weird thing is, after my 2nd reply to this particular topic, I went into a match where the enemy team had a Kayle. I played Kayle mid, and he played her Top(works well for most matchups). I payed close attention to him to tell whether or not he sucked, but I left the lane alone, despite my top player getting ganked at least twice, helping to "snowball" that Kayle who seemed to have good mechanics to begin with. Funny thing is, he decided to go with the guinsoo as second item. Like I said, it's rare to see hybrid Kayle nowadays, and i end up running into 1 after this mini topic. By midgame, he was in a carrying position, but I myself had sufficient farm after bullying my lane opponent, allowing me to not be to far behind in gold to the Kayle up top. By the time we had both completed 2nd items(my second being a rabadons), team fights were occuring more frequently.

Now, Im not going to chock it down to our difference in build since bc players' individual skills, team comps, and the active abiltities' availiabities are all relevant to how teamfights pan out, but I will say this. Despite my team being down in gold, we and at 1 least 1 person needing to be carried badly, my team consistantly came out on top of every major teamfiight, w/ me still alive and the other Kayle either dead or retreated. I even found myself dueling the Kayle 1 on 1 mulitple times, and winning. Some close, and then later no comparison. After losing several duels, that Kayle started investing in a Rabadon's, but before anything could be made of it, I had finished my lich bane(3rd item not counting 2nd tier boots), and my team moved on to seizing the nexus for a comeback. Between me and the other Kayle, our scores were 11/5/15 and 7/8/12 respectively.

So yah, this 1 instance of a Kayle going AP build vs 1 going hybrid can't be considered utter proof of dominance of an AP Kayle over others, but to put it bluntly, it was just another notch on my wall for teams with a "non-meta"(made up word) Kayle that I punished. Like i said before, maybe I just haven't met any decent hybrid/ad Kayle players yet, and I know for a fact that Im not the most consistent Kayle player, and most likely not the best. But what I also know is,without a significant gold difference, I consistenly come out on top.
