Yeah, Kayle is my primary, so I immediately discovered how effective she could be in URF and stomped with her for the week she was available. I saw a blog with win rates of various champions, and she was near the top. I imagine that win rates and popularity are how Riot decided on the second round of bans, though I think that anyone not smart enough to ban Hecarim, Soraka, and Kayle kinda deserved the stomping they inevitably received. The same went for Sona before her auto-ban.

1. Permanent ranged and AoE damage (not uncommon 20 minutes into regular games either), PLUS the ranged champion attack speed boost.

2. Her R came up every 18/15/12 seconds and lasted 2/2.5/3 seconds, making her immune to assassinations as long as she saw the enemy coming.

3. Permanent slow+damage on any champion foolish enough to come inside her Q's cast range without some serious backup.

4. Heal for over 50% of her maximum health (if building straight AP) every 3 seconds, with a speed boost of 100% permanently active unless you deemed allied champions more in need of the healing or speed boost.
