@above contributer ok, i'm going to use nocturne as a comparison, since he was like my bane in several games until I understood how to counter him. Compare their attack bars. Notice noc is higher. Coincidence? Meaningless? No, and no. I'll explain why

Noct is better suited for dealing damage, for he not only has a passive that increases his own attack speed, but can also heal himself (off an attack, not like kayle who has to cast,) chase, and has two abilities that scale off of AD, especially a powerful ganking ult. Kayle has only 1ability that increses with AD, a spell for chase, and that said spell also rises with AP, i.e. her Q will do the same damage with both 100 AP or 100 AD, but more with both combined. Her E only adds splash damage equal to a percentage of her AD. That's it.

Of course with Items, this can be alleviated, but the same said items on Noc would make him more of an effective fighter, 1v1, not counting summoner spells. He attacks quicker n harder, which is why a kayle ult on him in the midst of a fight would be better. the only way kayle can win in an even matchup is to ult, exhaust and surge or ignite, and that's only if he doesn't exhaust u and ult.
