I for one love playing Kayle with a bursty playstyle when I go domination, I think it's viable and actually very underrated. The only keystones I tend to dislike are Predator, and Dark Harvest the rest I think are perfectly viable. I prefer Electrocute. Cheap shot works pretty well with her Q. The burst she can lay out with Nashor's+Gunblade is pretty disgusting when running electrocute. I have a build section that goes over her burst side with items and specific runes.
So i stumbled across your guide and i really liked it :)
My Questons:
1. I have seen alot of
2. Is AP
3. Do you ever struggle with playing
4. Have you ever faced a really hard matchup that really made you think on what to do in order to counter this one? How hard was it, whats ur tips for new
Overall great guide! :)
Cheers

1. I have seen alot of Kayle players that takes Conqueror, Dark Harvest or even Hail of Blades, why not go with these?
A. - I don't like any of these runes on Kayle myself because they are not very usable in my opinion, I think Electrocute is a very strong alternative to dark harvest because of how accessible it is to Kayle now.
2. Is AP Kayle the only way to play her or is it possible to play her AD as well?
A. - I played a lot of AD Kayle in season 3 but ever since the item changes I've found it very difficult to play AD Kayle. The best option I think for the AD would be to Rush Essence Reaver with Lethal Tempo to throw as many Qs as possible. And after that build a BORK for more DPS and kite. You have to spend more gold to get the same amount of damage as AP and you lose a lot out of your utility spell Divine Blessing. I don't think it is as strong but it is possible.
3. Do you ever struggle with playing Kayle in high elo as it is in low elo. Basically what I mean is, do you ever struggle with the matchups you face depending on your elo or your opponents or is every matchup fairly easy to counter?
A. - It is very challenging to play Kayle in high elo due to her weaknesses being known and abused in high elo. If you are playing in high elo the games usually don't go past 25 minutes so Kayle really can't get to her full potential without getting really ahead of the game. You will often times get scoped by the enemy jungler as he will not want you to hit your power spikes early.
4. Have you ever faced a really hard matchup that really made you think on what to do in order to counter this one? How hard was it, whats ur tips for new Kayle players that may face these hard matchups in the future?
A. - Akali...Akali Akali Akali.
But really a hard matchup for me was Leblanc, but after a while, I learned how to beat her early from experiencing enough LB one tricks. If you get in a hard matchup my best advice would be to just farm it out and study how they play the champion and over time you will develop a strategy to beat it. I highly suggest you actually play the champion to learn its weaknesses. I play burst Kayle against champions where you will be punished in long-term trades, like Cassiopeia.
I will answer all of your questions individually,
_
#1 Q. Is the rune set-up for this new section flexible for both mid and top lane?
A. If you are going to run this top lane I would suggest you to not go Minion Dematerializer because it's mostly viable mid lane.
___
#2 Q. what are your thoughts on Ghost with kayle mid lane if you have chosen Minion Dematerializer?
A. I think it can be great for roaming but I personally don't like to take it over Teleport because Teleport can roam instantly. The reason you see some Twisted Fate players run it is because their ult is Teleport.
___
#3 Q. What is your preferred usage of Minion Dematerializer (example: 5 on caster minions and 1 on melee)?
A. Minion Dematerializer is currently the mid lane meta for most wave-clear mages. Kayle takes a hard hit by being shoved at tower, so I take this to even the playing field. I like using 3 melees |1 caster|2 sieges. I like to prioritize the Melee Minions because they are far more common than Siege Minions and are a lot harder to cheese than Caster Minions.
___
#4 Q. will you be adding in sections such as 'core items', 'example final build' etc?
A. The situational setups are not built to replace the core build, but rather to add important details such as specific items you should look for early and what order you should build them in.
