First off - Consider Kayles heal. I main as Kayle and I have saved many lives because I have enough AP to do reasonable healing to an ally in need - especially one that is about to be hit by Veigar's Ultimate or Caitlyn's ultimate. Building too much Attack Speed completely removes this powerful ability.
Secondly - AP burst WITH nashor's tooth is extremely good. I would not go to static shiv or runaans however. Here's why:
--once you have over 200-300 ap, you can farm minions like a *****. You get so much gold that it isnt funny.
--Throughout the majority of the game, other teams do not hunt in packs - they farm their *** off so that they can be good late game. With 300-400 ap and lich bane, it is far too easy to literally 2-hit the adc or mid. I have played many games where you can literally pick off a single champion in less than 2 seconds.
--Gold isnt a problem - when I play, I constantly have the highest gold, minions, and kills on my team. I have full build before anyone else on my team for most of my games.
Also, lets consider the tank of their team. What do tanks build? Armor and health. They specifically build armor, not magic resist. Lets make a hypothetical situation.
Situation - There is an extremely tanky udyr - chogath - or amumu. They have over 4000 hp and 300 armor but only 100 magic resist. Your team can attack this champion to their heart's content but without ap, that udyr isn't going to die easily. Then you come in - the 607 AP Kayle who has a bone to pick. You activate your righteous fury and boom - thats one lich bane passive - udyr starts to run, you slow him with reckoning and hit again, boom - thats 2 lich bane passives. Udyr is still pretty fast so you speed up with your divine blessing while also healing insane amounts of health on yourself and boom - thats 3 lich bane passives. This damage is the only thing that can catch out that udyr. When you substitute pure attack speed for AP, you lose this entire advantage.
I think your guide is well thought out but your tone upsets me. You use a cocky - narcissistic tone that makes you sound like you think that you are better than everyone who does not play Kayle this way. There are very many merits to AP burst kayle - it is extremely easy to get double - triple - and even quadra kills by using this method.
Just one last thought - Kayle is easily one of the better bursters - she has a slow, a speed enhance, massive sustain and a fantastic harass. When you put lich bane into all of this, you can screw any champion below 3000 hp in less than 3 seconds. When there are bursters on their team, you wont need 5 seconds to kill them and honestly, if you do - you will die first. When you are burst kayle, you need the reflexes and reactions to burst them first.
Keep improving this guide, im interested in how it turns out.
However, while you do deal massive damage, it has WAY too many flaws with it, particularly getting to full build in the first place. For one, the enemy can dive you early on and prevent your snowballing. In team fights, you become more of a utility champion more then a carry even though you still do damage.
With full items and an adequate team though, this guide can work in certain situations that call for it (Split pushing or for example). All I'm saying is that it's not something you would do each time with Kayle.
As I said before, I LOVE attack speed and
Please do compare a Q + 2 autos for AP Kayle and on-hit kayle.
And in teamfights if you're getting more than 5 autos without getting dived on as a Kayle you know your games are easy.
Also, guise I know he's irritating to a lot of people but please keep it clean. Responding with frustration is ok but flaming and insulting really isn't how we should do things.
Don't bother with people who refuse to listen - just downvote and leave.
There's something to be said for someone who makes a teemo build for Kayle and thinks that it'll will be the best thing diamonds ever seen.
Please reconsider your life choices.
I aim my runes to maximize both AP and defense equally
So if im laning vs AD, i maximize armor + AP.
If laning vs AP, i maximize MR + AP
Did you read what I wrote? Either way, your runeset sucks.
The game also happens outside of the lane, y'know. Such a thing as the 'jungler' exists, who can deal mixed damage when combined with the mid-laner (AP mid and AD jungler, for example). And as I said, scaling AP glyphs > flat AP glyphs.
Sure. Anyone can build a
