^ Mixing physical/magical on a team is generally not as important as people think it is. What people consider to be a choice between AD/AP, is actually a choice between ranged DPS and burst damage. Or in other words, a way to win under towers vs. a way to win fights out in the open. Melee DPS champions are kind of in no-man's land here, but that's why you don't usually see them.

Kayle is ranged DPS regardless of whether you build her AD or on-hit. On-hit is not great for pushing down a turret, but significantly better than a mage. I expect that the pros choose maximum optimal configurations because there isn't much difference between skill, so it's not worth it to leave openings. A team with top lane AD Kayle + an AD carry is a seriously good pushing comp.
