Eh. I found AP Jungling to be mediocre for me. While u do have betr jungle security against counter junglers like Shyvana and Nunu due to having faster access to smite, ur performance climbs up slowly. Playing Kayle as an AD Jungler is often the most optimal choice imo cos Kayle is a damage threat Jungler. She ain't about CC or initiation. One of the major reasons to y Kayle has declined as a Top Laner and rose in popularity as a Mid Laner and Jungler is cos her presence in those areas don't affect the overall team composition as badly.

When u pick Kayle, u gotta make sure u meet at least 1 or more of the following factors:

1. Ur team has at least 1-2 Initiators with good disruption powers and if possible, at least 1 Champion with a lock on Hard CC. Eg. Amumu, Gragas for the former requirement and Champions like Taric and Leona for the latters.

2. Ur team has betr poking power than the enemy as well as betr overall sustain in all areas.

3. Ur lane opponent isn't someone who dominates u in lane phase and/or is a sustain oriented Champion. Kayle is bad against high sustain Champs since she is mostly a poke type.

If u play Kayle as a Top Laner, ur Mid and Jungler have some slight restrictions in their Champ picks. On the other hand, if Kayle was to go Mid or Jungle, there will be almost none.

Oh and as a Jungler, building up CDR is crucial for that extreme presence and since u get a Spirit Item, it is extremely easy to itemise. Get a Spirit Item, Nashors and Zephyr. Ur now basically set and u can now go either AD or AP according to ur preference and taste.
