Thanks for that! Makes a lot more sense to me now. I suppose I should play her on the bottom, then, but I guess her versatility is confusing me because I just saw a strat thread that says to use her as a solo top, haha :|

Kayle is kinda weird like that since she can do a bit of everything, but generally people do play her mostly as a solo top.

The itemisation feels SO awkward for AD instead of AP, a lot of the upgrades are just so expensive and you end up falling way behind saving up 1600 for one of the pieces to Bloodthirster...but then again I've had 3 games in a row where the bottom lane had 2-3 champions so it's been really hard to farm -_- any tips? I tried farming in the jungle but got yelled at a lot (by my bottom lane partner who was being absolutely ******ed and tower diving as soon as the game began, no less)

Kayle is more inclined to rip somebody's face off in a matter of seconds. Tanky support would be more along the lines of Alistar/ Taric.

Kayle has way too much versatility to her (not that it's a bad thing). She can do in some mids because of her early damage, does well against many tops due to her skillset, and fairly decent botlane. I dislike doing full AD because if I get stunned for like a second I'm dead, no time to consider my ulti. I always build her as an hybrid dps because her on-hit ness is very hot.

Examples:

Berserker boots
Guinsoo's Rageblade (Try getting the Pickaxe first)
Frozen Mallet/ Trinity Force (first makes you an aggressive chaser and gives more survivability, second brings more damage)
Madred's Bloodrazor/ Wit's End (first if they have more than one tanky champion, second if they don't and have decent AP casters)
Hextech Gunblade/ Zeke's Herald (both for recovering HP, Zeke's interacts better with Kayle tho)
Black Cleaver/ Infinity Edge
Banshee's Veil/ Guardian Angel/ Quicksilver Sash (survivability items)

A Kayle focused on auto-attacks should also go for nice attack speed since it kicks your passive faster, meaning you deal more damage/second while shredding your opponent's defenses.
Thank you Tsuki for the sig!

Something else you should try on her? Tiamat Dead serious.

I was playing the infamous PokèLoL the other day. I ended up with Mobility Boots, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Tiamat, and Bilgewater Cutlass.

It was great.

One of the easiest builds to get fully built and to use is the "on-hit" build.

Berserker's Greaves
Malady
Wit's End
Madred's Bloodrazor
Black Cleaver
Infinity Edge

It's really easy to build as the base build can be built in small steps and you can gradually build it on every back. Plus you just right click to win. Level up your Righteous Fury first and then kill everything. This also gives you a great advantage early game and in most low level games early game is everything lol.

Thank you Miss Maw, CasterMaster and Arcana3 for the sweet sigs. I'd definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a nice sig.

I hate the idea of Malady on Kayle, I gotta try someday. I just feel like Guinsoo's does it better.

Let me clear this up. guinsoo's is a better item. Malady is an easier item to build. All of it's components cost around 500 gold so you can build it every time you go B. This means it gets built faster giving you a stronger early game than a half built guinsoo's would. Plus 50% AS at all times is a huge boost to her Righteous Fury. As soon as you get it you start doing huge deeps. If you later want to sell it for a guinsoo's then feel free. But rushing malady on her is ridiculously effective while rushing guinsoo's is meh.

Malady gives you a great early game and makes it easier to get to a wit's end because it costs so little. guinsoo's gives you a better mid game, but is useless until then since it is harder to build. Look at what each builds out of. I think you'll get what I mean by malady being easier to build.
