Tips Against Kayle in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
I Am Goliath says “Punish kayle very hard pre 6 because she is meele until then, seriously do not let her walk up to farm in this lane when she is meele because she basically isn't even a champion, once she gets 6 this matchup gets a lot harder because it gets extremely hard to get E's on her, but you can sometimes still bait her in to fight and get the surprise E if you make it look like you're running away and then turn on her really quickly, her ultimate also denies your ultimate but you should try to time the pull to avoid that because she can't R while she is being pulled, so if she R's early just wait a little bit before you press R again to pull her, also sometimes you can just pull her anyway and then finish her off normally if your ultimate doesn't kill her. Kayle scales pretty hard as well in the splitpush so she is scary later, but you can still teamfight well against her.”
RivalOCE says “No real threat in lane but obviously Kayle scales really well. Try hard to get a big lead pre-level 11. Once you have 45% CDR you should be able to kill her with 2 rotations. Look for mis-spaces in lane, she takes lots of damage if you can get on her.”
Anoying bro5 says “Kayle will scale HARD. Start Dorans blade. Try to abuse her early game as much as possible. Q poke her as much as you can and parry her Q to avoid the slow. She is hard to catch when she has fleet footwork. If she has ult, parry that damage. Try to stop her from free farming. Pre 6 she is a melee champ so make sure you punish her for ever stepping up.”
SaltCat says “You destroy her early game until 6, until level 11 you win this match up, after that you will start to lose if you dont have a big enought lead”
Raen says “ Try to get her at early lvls since she's kinda weak on early lvls. After she gets items may be a bit hard cuz of her 3 sec immortality. If she ults dont use Q or W wait until her R ends and then try to all in her or just jump away when she ults and return when it ends. Your E blocks her E.”
quinn adc says “Kayle is really easy, but the key is to be extremely aggressive early on.
Create a mindset before the game begins that you will punish Kayle for every minion she goes for, and then make this goal a reality.
In lane, proc PTA literally every single time it’s up because you will win every trade when your PTA is up.
Try to dodge her Q when she shoots it because that’s the only form of damage she has early on.
The range on her Q is 900, so it's quite easy to land from afar, but the cooldown is 12 seconds early on, so when it's down you have a window to punish her for free.
They removed klepto so kayle’s sustain got destroyed this season.
The best way to play the lane is to ideally set up a freeze in front of your tower, and zone Kayle from XP.
By doing so, kayle legit cannot farm or play the game because she is forced to last hit with her Qs.
If she walks up, combo her with everything because you hard win any sort of early game fight, even in her minion wave, especially with ignite and PTA.
After level 6, if you blind kayle when she’s low, she’ll likely retaliate with her Ult.
This is good because she needs this ability to do survive you.
When her ultimate is used, just patiently wait for it to expire, then immediately vault her and combo her right after it expires.
Kayle level 11 onwards grants her 525 attack range, which is identical to yours, and her W grants 40% Ms late game that scales also with AP, but you should be able to out run her if you vault her since vault provides a slow on her as well.
Late game is more difficult, but actually quinn wins the late game 1v1 if you play it right.
The matchup late game legit relies solely on you landing blind on her.
If you land it on her, combo the HECK out of her, and in the frame of 1.5 seconds, you should be able to get her low enough for her to use her ultimate.
Then you vault her, auto to consume harrier proc MS, then wait for Q cooldown to comeback.
When kayle ultimate is down, re-engage with blind when it's up, and then you will be able to combo her and kill her with ease.
You can run stormrazor against kayle because good kayles will use her W movespeed to sidestep our Q, but stormrazor allows us to walk up to kayle, initiate with auto that will heavily slow her, and then this will allow us to land blind with ease, which is our win-con like I've said.”
Phrxshn says “To be honest, Kayle is consider both "Tiny" and "Extreme" threat as she can either feel like a pinch or a nuclear bomb. Dodge her Radiant Bomb(Q) and you should be able to out-trade her. Use Mega Adhesive to negate her Celestial Blessing(W) which give her movement speed. Avoid fighting her whilst in Divine Judgement(R) which make her invulnerable and does AOE damage. (Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter, Mercury's Treads, or Boots of Swiftness) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Singed Early, Kayle Late) (Outscaling Edge: Kayle) ”
Boptimus says “Very easy early on. Hard once she passes level 6 and 1 item. If the Kayle is good and reaches level 11 this becomes an extremely hard match up without a lead.”
King Turtle says “Similar to Jax, She's not a massive lane bully, but her scaling power is on par or even superior to Gwen's. Getting ahead is going to be a challenge if the Kayle isn't total garbage. ”
Fryx says “Kayle can scale hard and be annoying to you later on but before that your harass is much more effective on her. You can actually kill her with ult since she can't cast her ult while knocked up. Take care of the mindgame if she ults before your ult you are actually gonna die :D”
maxlid3 says “Really easy lane before level 6. Since she is melee before 6, there is not a lot she can do. You can poke her a lot. After level 6 she can engage onto you but you should still outrange her. Under normal circumstances you outscale her with Kraken Slayer and Rageblade.”
SunFalk says “She will out scale you. She will become ranged. She will have AOE basic attacks. - Play it early, be very aggressive early when she's still melee, when she starts to be ranged at lvl 6, play safer and when she has her AOE basic attack, play very safe if laning phase isn't done yet.”
RTO says “She has decent poke, but if you max W 2nd you negate a lot of her DPS. Try stop her charging her passive. She gets scarier when she goes ranged. Keep her behind.”
RTO says “Kayle can easily kill your tentacles, and her slow can keep us out of range. Try to prioritize death's dance. She is squishy before 6, so take advantage of a jungle gank.”
GarenteedDamage says “Kayle is hardly a threat early on but as most League players know, Kayle scales like crazy. Meaning, the later the game gets the more she counters you and the more damage she does. Try to get as many early kills on her as possible.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “Don't let Kayle farm pre lvl 6, play as aggressively as possible. Urgot can't execute Kayle during her ultimate. You can bait her R out by Urgot's R1 and R2 only after her ult goes off. She snowballs hard during the entire game, so don't delay it.”
SettVEVO says “I put this threat low due to laning against Kayle being easy, but that's the point, its late game that she's insane, don't let her have a good time, tower dive her when she doesn't have her ult, pull her with E as much as you can, and a nice tip is to ult her as soon as her ult will end cause she usually will be low when ulting, that will just guarantee a kill on to her with no counterplay as long as she doesn't flash right after. Get boots and Stride to make her life hell. Mid game she is just another carry to take out. Late game shouldn't happen if you and your team played well.”
Viego99 says “another late game god ::/.you kill her pre 11.after 11 she kill you 1v1.after 16 she destroy you. like kassadin .she outscale you .your tf is better pre 11.”
GarenteedDamage says “Kayle is hardly a threat early on but as most League players know, Kayle scales like crazy. Meaning, the later the game gets the more she counters you and the more damage she does. Try to get as many early kills on her as possible.”
BoilTheOil says “Go Conqueror or Hail of Blades. At level 1 try to zone her off of the XP of the first 3 melee minions. After that slow push the minion wave and crash it once the canon wave comes (3rd wave). If your jungle paths top side and is very strong early game, you can ping to tower dive her. If it goes well she misses a lot of minions and will be forced to tp back to lane. After you crash the 3rd wave, the wave will bounce back to you and you can freeze it on her, pre 6 she's pretty useless so she can't do shit. She can be hard to deal with after level so so you need to have a lead before then.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - EVEN LANE IN YOUR FAVOR EARLY. DUMPSTER HER PRE-6. CONQUEROR IS GREAT. PHASE RUSH IS USABLE. STRIDEBREAKER MAKES HER A FREE KILL. DON’T LET HER FARM. SHE IS A LATEGAME NIGHTMARE.
Kayle is not 5 due to her early laning. Though her slow and her poke are somewhat annoying, you should be able to stomp her easily pre 6. Wait for the wave to be on your side of the lane and then run her down with ghost once you get a pull or once she missteps. Make sure you kill her over and over again and try to prevent her from farming as Kayle can win lategame by herself. Phase Rush is an okay pick for this lane as it lets you run her down even without your Ghost as her slow won’t be able to stop you. But if you lose with Phase Rush its gonna be a nightmare. Conqueror is also a great choice with Nimbus. A trick to keep in mind is that she cannot cast her ultimate when she is stunned. So if you/your jungler/whoever’s working with you possess the burst to kill her quickly, you can do so by pulling her and chain ccing her. But that requires too much coordination for soloq. Just keep it in mind if she is at 4 stacks and the next AA+R will kill her, do E-AA-R. If you are fast enough, you should get your ult out before she ults. After she gets her ultimate, it shouldn’t be too difficult to run her down still. You have two options. 1) Burst her down quickly BEFORE she can ult. 2) Apply stacks on her and get her low enough so that you can kill her with your ultimate AFTER she ults. If you are looking to burst her down before she ults, it might be a good idea to do your combo on her (AA+W+Q)and then pull her in. If she hasn’t ulted, you can opt to quickly R her as this will probably leave her low enough where you can kill her with 1 more auto after her invulnerability is over. If you are fighting multiple people and HAVE to save your ult, just keep aaing her until you get your passive.”
PH45 says “Care for her empowered E auto and try to not trade when she has lowered your resistances with her Q. Smash her early so she won't get to her powerful late-game state since at that point you are pretty screwed. Post 6 she gets a bit more annoying due to becoming perma ranged.”
Drake6401 says “ The key to this lane is zoning. Assume lane dominance very early and don't push the wave at all. Freeze the lane for as long as possible and don't let her get anywhere near the wave to farm. If you can kill her, absolutely look to do so but she will usually play too safe. If you get a really strong lead and the enemy jungle isn't a threat to you, proxy her off the outer tower to deny her levels. This is the perfect time for your jungle to invade enemy lines as well.”
xPetu says “Recommended: Standard Runes & Ignite
Tips: Punish her early. She outscales you hard. W blocks her E-AA. Passive shield or dodge her Q, remember that she can hit Q through minions. Taunt prevents her from R'ing.”
Sovereign Kitten says “You absolutely dominate this match-up early game, however, if you don’t take advantage of this and let her get to level 11 or 16, by letting her free farm and split all game, you are likely to lose. Her win condition is getting to the point where she doesn't have to rely on stacking her passive. Push her out and keep her out. You have to be super aggressive against her. You completely counter her early game due to her reliance on getting passive stacks, through auto attacking. You can sidestep her (Q) which will slow you if you are hit by it. Just keep putting her down early with (Q) even if it means getting ganked a lot.
”
ForgottenProject says “She got some Buffs and they worked but You should have no Trouble against her.
[1]If she uses her heal when she's in your Q Range, Run her down the lane.
[2]If she uses Q on the wave, you can run her down the lane.
[3]Her E is an Execute so If you're low on HP, it's worth Parrying.
[4]Parrying her Ult is good if it's a 1v1.
[5]Set up a Freeze because Kayle Players get a lot of attention from their Junglers.”
Psychopathic Top says “Pre 6, play it out the same way as any other matchup. Stack up and grab sheen. Post 6, she turns into a ranged champion, and her autos surprisingly hurts. She also has some form of kiting tools, and her R prevents her from dying early game (so she scales up). Look for all ins when she pushes up a bit too far from her lane, as her R prevents turret diving. If you go even or have a lead in the mid game, teamfights should be easy, just flank the enemy team through a blind spot (behind them in a bush or ghost in from behind, and sandwich enemy team)
”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “She's like a ranged Nasus in terms of how playable she is for tanks.
Pre-6 she is absurdly weak and you can bonk her whenever you want. Post-6 she gains a huge amount of range and sustained damage making the lane impossible. She has been my go-to ban recently as it is very unfun to play against.”
Stinkee says “Kayle has a very weak laning phase, you must use this to your advantage or she will outscale you. Always look to E her into your Q for poke and trades. Don't let her farm for free. You might want to ask for ganks if she's pushing your lane as she's very vulnerable and Sion can setup ganks very well.”
iZeal says “Mostly a punching bag until Level 6 unless she gets to build up her passive stacks before you get to lane, after that you have to pick your fights more carefully. She has a deceptively small hurtbox meaning skillshots might look like they hit her but don't. Her W movement speed also allows her to walk out of your W. Hold your Q3 when she has ultimate up.”
Dream Orbit says “More info on the matchups section. Remember this is only an estimated threat, you can always win any matchup if you're good enough (or if they're bad enough).”
Alan234 says “Take Aery/Electrocute to punish her earlygame. Rush riftmaker to keep up in sustain.
Punish her early and call your jungler for dives, care about her powerspike. You have to zone her super hard with your riftmaker sustain and you can even play between the two towers to zone her off exp, the more exp you deny the better you will do”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet, Doran's Ring, Q > W] - She outscales you but before she gets 2 items, you usually win.
- Q her constantly and try to juke her slow.
- If she lands her slow, run back a bit, don't let her start autoing you. They take PTA usually and she wins trade pre lvl4.
- Once she's 6, she'll have prio over you. Once her wave pushes, all in her under your tower or near your tower. You can literally 100 to 0 her because she has a long way to run.
- You need to break her freeze whenever she gets one. Tank some HP and push the wave in or you establish a freeze yourself.
- You just never want Kayle to be able to free farm risk free. She has to be either worried of a gank or your all in at all time in the game."”
DippyDan says “Very weak early, but has a huge powerspike at level 6. Eventually becomes the best splitpusher in the game with the right items. TIPS: [1] Harass as much as possible pre-level 6. [2] Look to freeze and zone him from EXP and farm. [3] Make sure to ask for easy dives [4] Once level 6, only go for all-ins with R. ”
Justkb says “Kayle before level 6 is easy. Don't push the wave and try to force mistakes out of her at level 3. If you get a lead try to snowball by tower diving her and pressuring top hard. Be wary though if the game goes past 35mins she will beat you! ”
LoLReal says “Kayle's range is abysmal at low levels and we should abuse this. When she walks up to CS pull her in and trade.
Be careful not to take too much damage at levels 1 & 2 so we can afford to trade with her later in the lane. She inevitably outscales us so we are on a timer to abuse her in lane early.”
Rhoku says “Kayle is usually an annoying laner for immobile champions like Mordekaiser but Morde has higher ranger so you can pretty much lock down the lane completely. Pre-6 she is free food. Post-6 she is also free food. The only reason the lane is difficult is due to the urgency of you HAVING to gather a lead. If you don't stomp Kayle, she will outscale EVERYTHING super hard and take over the entire game. You HAVE to gather a lead on her early. Land every CS, punish every mistake, get every kill.”
Phrxshn says “To be honest, Kayle is consider both "Tiny" and "Extreme" threat as she can either feel like a pinch or a nuclear bomb. Dodge her Radiant Bomb(Q) and you should be able to out-trade her. Use Seismic Shard and Ground Slam to negate her Celestial Blessing(W) which give her movement speed. Avoid fighting her whilst in Divine Judgement(R) which make her invulnerable and does AOE damage. (Recommended Items: Mercury's Treads, or Boots of Swiftness) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Malphite Early, Kayle Late) (Outscaling Edge: Even) ”
Phrxshn says “To be honest, Kayle is consider both "Tiny" and "Extreme" threat as she can either feel like a pinch or a nuclear bomb.

(Recommended Items: Deadman's Plate, Mercury's Treads, or Boots of Swiftness) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Dr.Mundo Early, Kayle Late) (Outscaling Edge: Kayle) ”
sock217 says “You absolutely win against her if you hit level 6 before her. HOWEVER, she is ABSURDLY slippery and deals TOO much damage from SO far away, Late game you are useless against her. This champ is absolutely ridiculous and no matter how far in the dirt you put her she will get pentas out the ass 5 minutes later. You cant out-cs her, kills dont matter, what do you do? Pray. Pray she goes AFK. ”
YasTilt says “Really weak before level 6 and she OutScales you hard Late Game, try to pick small fights level 3. You can try to bait her R. Build Anti-Heal if she Builds Life Steal”
Sopachi says “Kayle is annoiny post 6. Early she can be abused and you can hard snowball lane. However, if the Kayle player is smart and is passive and lets wave crash into her and waits for 6, you will not win lane. She gets access to ranged auto attacks post 6 and her R can completely negate your all in. Post 11 you should became wary of trading with her unless you have assistance. Post 16 do not engage her solo and wait for teammates to come help or wait for the team fight.”
Phrxshn says “To be honest, Kayle is consider both "Tiny" and "Extreme" threat as she can either feel like a pinch or a nuclear bomb. Dodge her Radiant Bomb(Q) and you should be able to out-trade her. Use Primal Howl to negate her Celestial Blessing(W) which give her movement speed. Avoid fighting her whilst in Divine Judgement(R) which make her invulnerable and does AOE damage. (Recommended Items: Mercury's Treads, or Boots of Swiftness) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Warwick Early, Kayle Late) (Outscaling Edge: Even) ”

Fan22 says “Kayle scales Really hard and can melt you after getting her first item or after Evolving with her passive. When she gets full build you become an adc in her eyes, so be careful and build MR and Thornmail.
Early game poke her and try to kill her with R, having ignite helps to kill her and abuse her weak early game, having your junglers help also ensures to let her behind enough to win the lategame.
Never let her reach late game or the game it's over, win it as soon as possible and denegate her farm and Exp if you can.
A good Trick against Kayle its to use your R when she is CC'ed with your W or Q, since then she cannot become inmortal casting her Ult.
Lategame you can still do this, alternatively you can also Ult sooner when she still has plenty of health, so that she uses her R earlier and has to retire early from a teamfight.”
A_Drunk_Carry says “This is a weird lane. Both you and Kayle will be pretty complacent just farming pre-6. See if your jungler can gank prior to then. Both of you scale, but a lvl 18 Kayle is one of the biggest horrors in the game atm. Wither is great vs Kayle bc it will outlast her W movement speed buff. Try to get some Qs off, but late game if you can't kill her in 1 or 2 hits back off. She'll kite you hard and then ult if you try to Q again.
NOTE: Kayle is very meta mid atm instead of top, so make sure it's a Kayle top in your games.”
SavagePridestalker says “Very bad idea to go tank Rengar into Kayle, you want to dominate her in the early game, thus you want to build damage. If you let Kayle scale for free, she'll beat you very soon and take over the game.”
Phrxshn says “To be honest, Kayle is consider both "Tiny" and "Extreme" threat as she can either feel like a pinch or a nuclear bomb. Dodge her Radiant Bomb(Q) and you should be able to out-trade her. Use Facebreaker to migrate her Celestial Blessing(W) which give her movement speed. Avoid fighting her whilst in Divine Judgement(R) which make her invulnerable and does AOE damage. (Recommended Items: Deadman's Plate, Mercury's Treads, or Boots of Swiftness) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Sett Early, Kayle Late) (Outscaling Edge: Kayle) ”
SanLourdes says “Kayle's early game is atrocious. Bully her and deny her CS. You don't want her to scale or she will become unstoppable. Shut her down before she is able to 1v5 your whole team. She has no way to reset your Q and has little mobility. Bait out her ult before you use yours or make sure it is on cooldown.”
Marwaii says “Really easy up to around minute 30 - 40. She out scales you but you should win every trade with mega Gnar by ulting her. You can also turret dive if you are strong enough and if she doesn't have ultimate.
Take Stride + Mercs/Plated depending on her build.”
slogdog says “No range, no mobility, not enough damage early game. Outscales you, but you can oppress her early game. and use that lead to destroy her mid-game. ”
MachDawn says “Let yourself get 5 stacks lvl 1 and you probably will kill her EXTREMELY SQUISHY. I suggest lifesteal Irelia vs Kayle because its not hard to win and she cant deal with you if you get full hp 10x faster late.”
oogoogerson says “Kayle is trash into Singed until about level 16 and then she will start to catch up to you in 1v1 potential. However, she should be so behind that it doesn't matter. A good Kayle can show you up though so be careful. Take Ignite.”
Lost Chapter says “With her recent buffs she's insane. Try to kill her before lvl 6 or it will be pretty hard after. When she gets lvl 6 her passive alows her to kite you very well and poke you out of lane. Do not fight at lvl 1 if she starts E!! You will lose lvl 1. If she's rushing boots rush mercs aswell”
Bombabo says “Kayle does not have the damage to beat you in trades until level 11, but her ranged autos at level 6 will allow her to farm more safely. Try to play aggressively to gain a lead before she becomes too strong”
Wawza says “Easy matcup for Aatrox but will outscale you late. Harass out of lane and contest the minions as much as you can to put her behind. Level 3 full engage usually means she either has to burn summoner spells or die.”
DarkyTheReal says “The secret to this matchup is pushing early waves and make it bounce back, then you freeze it, and you can pretty much deny her from farming. At level 6 you can't do quick trades, just go all-in on her.”
DarkyTheReal says “Start E, poke her down as much as you can level 1 with your dash+autos,until level 6 she cannot play the game,so you just wanna crash the 3rd wave in her tower (and kill her if possible) and then freeze on your tower,poke her and gg wp. Go corruption potion”
laoshin3v3 says “Fleet
Kayle is very weak and abuseable earlygame. When she hits 6 it will be very hard to kill her 1v1 since she is ranged form already. Try to help other lanes or wait for jungler”
SethPRG says “You probably want to start Boots and 4 Health Pots. When you first back you want to get Plated Steelcaps. If Kayle walks up at all before level 6 they lose half their HP. Otherwise, they lose some CS. Either is good for you. After 6 it's annoying to fight them because of their range, but still doable with Trinity to burst them down. Stridebreaker is good here as well to slow them in life or death situations. Past level 11, and especially past level 16 it's almost impossible to lock them down and kill them, you're just so slow compared to them, especially if they hit their Q. If you get caught out VS them you can't escape so you might as well fight to the finish. If their ult is going to hit your team in a group fight, just R whoever they ulted away. If they stay in the backline just ult someone onto them and get an E stun. Once they're locked down by multiple people and don't have ult they are pretty useless. Eventually, get a Bramble Vest, and build an Abyssal Mask as your 3rd or 4th item so when you E them they take more damage. ”
AlanVenator says “Kayle is not a threat to you early levels, but she can get out of control late game. Her ult is so annoying as she can save herself or one of her teammates from "fear beyond death" and there is nothing you can do about it.”
wDesired says “Late game threat but not so much early game just use Q to zone her out of CS if you need or want to back slow push don't spam Q to try and shove the wave unless you need to ”
Sporkintahn says “You can Crush this lane pre-6 as she is weak early before she has range on her autos. --- Best strategy is to let her push to your side so she's overextended; then proceed to freeze and you can run her down with Ghost for a kill if you're in position to do so. --- You want to absolutely shut her down early and dumpster her in lane and get as far ahead in CS and Kills early as she will outscale you late and become a 1v9 monster. --- After 6 when she has her ult, obviously wait until after she ults to use yours. You can try to burst her early in the all-in before she ults with your own ult as most will expect you to use it as an execute but it isn't always reliable. Often times you Just have to extend the all-in and kite her with Ghost if she's getting you low.”
El Leon Gnar says “Kayle outscales you, but you should be able to easily kill her in lane. Pre-6 abuse her and push her off the wave, you can jump in whenever because she will never have any real kill pressure on you. Try to get ahead early so that you can end before she hits 16.”
joelspaho121 says “Abuse weak early game esp pre 6
d blade start with sorc tree.
kayle outscales you really hard from 6 and onwards so play super aggressively and try setting up a freeze before she hits 6 because that's the only way you win lane. Never push the lane for no reason because youll just give her free CS so always look for ways to deny CS.
When she first levels up R she becomes ranged which already makes it unfair for you since her active can deny you an ult reset in both duels and teamfights. So like I said try freezing, calling your jungler to camp you and get her out of the game to make it impossible for her to scale into late game.”
Kaizin says “Abuse Kayle early before she becomes ranged, at this point it can be very hard to get onto her, as she has a slow, a movement speed buff and she's ranged. Taking the unflinching rune in this matchup will actually help quite a lot, due to the slow resistance. Bramble vest early will be good as her auto attacks don't do that much damage early. Early tier 2 boots will reduce how much she can kite you at 6+. From this point it's up to her to make a mistake, use brushes to avoid auto attacks and if she's using Press The Attack, try to avoid giving her the 3 auto attacks.”
I am so chill says “You destroy her at early use your q and burst damage to prevent her from taking cs freeze lane and punish her everytime she tries to take cs.Inm the recent patches she got nerfed and also items she get got nerfed now you crush her.”
deathwalker7119 says “I'd recommend grasp or fleet here. Just look to all in her while parrying her skill-shot slow pre-6. Parry her ult post 6 or flash out of it, as it does a lot of damage and fucks your ult over. You need to land parry to stop her from spamming autos and running but overall pretty easy matchup.”
SirGRC says “Worth a Ban: Maybe
Bully her until she hits 6 then pray for a gank. She gets stronger as she hits 6, 11, and 16, she does not even need to level her ult to get this massive power spikes. She is very weak in the early game so try and take advantage of that. Taking ignite might not be the worst idea just to try and get those early game kills. ”
PK Noob says “Pre-6 you destroy Kayle extremely hard. Even after 6 you can still beat her easily. Her Ultimate is why she still is a little threatening though. She can use her Ultimate on a teammate and completely change the outcome of the fight. Be careful and stay out of her Ultimate with your E or W once you see it.”
Humitaxx says “Against Kayle you can go either Tank Sett or Regular Sett with Stridebreaker, just make sure to abuse her as much as you can, don't be afraid of taking a few autoattacks from her, since all she can do is run away from these before 6, get ahead as much as possible before this, since she will be able to kite you easier and then ult”
WarwicksSimp says “Knock her out and end before she reaches lvl 16 or its perma unwinnable, she will hard carry fights, peel for herself, etc. She's a force to be reckoned with and do not underestimate her lvl 1 and 2, it's fairly strong actually and you can end up getting yourself killed if you dont play properly. Hard to build around kayle, would say wits end/abyssal mask with sunfire perhaps?”
Nekosett says “This scaling champ will probably have better impact in teamfights then you most people cant kite so you can kill her 6 or 11 but in teamfights make sure that she dies as if she gets fed its really hard to win the game also you can abuse pre 6 can be alright but is mostly is really bad”
Excuruseh says “Lvl 2 and 3 all in if she oversteps, nothing she can do about it. If you can get a kill or 2 here, when she ascends it won't be a big problem with your damage. If not, she can be hard to get to with her being ranged and having slows.”
Womsky says “Scaling runes, its just a free lane, nothing much to say about it, she is melee early on, you can turn those first 6 level into a living hell for her, zone her off cs, beat her up, freeze the wave, then beat her ass with ghost if she ever over extends, later on she still struggles big time dealing with you in a 1v1, one of the easiest matchups out there”
Vandenelis says “she is weak before level 6 try to beat her up as much as you can until then, it becomes harder to kill her when she gets ranged at level 6. after she gets 1-2 items she can melt you so you should avoid fighting her past that point”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “Can be quite annoying if she goes PTA and tries to poke you out at level 1 before you can stack passive. In this case let her push which makes her vulnerable to early ganks. Once it pushes to your tower you can
stack your passive safely and look to all in her the moment you hit E. The matchup actually gets easier once you get past the early levels because you can kite her out with your Q and stick to her when she is running away. use minions to avoid her ultimate damage if need be and look to fight at all times if you can stack passive up.”
MagicallyDelish4 says “Do a level one cheese (scroll down to learn what that is) If you do that then you'll be able to get a flash or first blood. If she walks up afterwards its a free kill pre 6. Bully her early so she doesn't scale as hard.”
tibs2 says “Kayle is just so bad in the meta right now. Should probably be a 3 but at her current state you can just set up a wave to dive and then dive with your jungler or even just by yourself if you poke properly. I love seeing the enemy pick Kayle because it just feels like a free win right now.”
svjade says “Kayle starts off extremely weak and mana wasteful early game, which is a win for Akali. However, she scales massively the moment she gets her ult on level 6 and becomes long ranged. She becomes even more dangerous at level 11 as her basic attack will do more damage thanks to her passive. Akali will have to dodge all of her CC attacks to quickly execute her which is quite a challenge.”
Ponkstronk says “She can't do shit from lvl 1-5 so punish her. Go d shield and 2nd wind, she'll get lvl 6 eventually. After that it's gonna be harder. Always worth to trade your ult for her ult.”
Noodles912 says “Freelo! Kayle cannot do anything to you early, nor can she destroy you late game. Just farm and outscale her. Remember she is melee before 6, so you can really abuse your range advantage. Late game, just blow her team up, because her ult can only save 1 player.”
ThiccCheese1066 says “Snowball, Snowball, and dodge. Kayle is a motherfucker if she gets fed so you in turn need to get fed. Ask for ganks (but we all know when you need the nice jungler most you're gonna get a feeding Kayne) Whenever you can and when you see a chance pull her in and ult. She'll most likely ult as well but if your jungler is on their way that is the best bait.”
kohyss says “This is my current perma ban. before 6 she has no chance. After 6she will be very annoiyng. The most mandatory thing in this matchup is hitting your E. Play aggresive early a try to not let her scale. Also you can try to take ghost.”
PiscesPomf says “EASY LANE
I know, Kayle is really bad at the start of the game, every laner will destroy her early. BUT she will play safe and you will not kill her because she will just farm and wait. So it's a really easy lane but she scales very well and will be super strong at the end of the game. Try to make her back and make her loose a lot of minions.”
Urgodzilla says “Very annoying champion, you can't do much even before she gets lvl6 unless she is really stupid, because she has everything to stay away from you: slow, heal and speedboost. Don't waste your R on her R: wait a little bit and press your R second time to make sure her R runs out.”
teemodumbstupid says “Another good lethality matchup. You can still win when she is level 16 if you have stacks. You almost always win as long as you keep on stacking.”
Oskarl3 says “probably the easiest matchup for sion, try to slow her with your e and all in whenever you can. with phase rush and stridebreaker she will never be able to run away from you”
Tsundere Tahm says “Espera a que se confie y destruyela, es un miniom en early. Rushea Placa y si juega bajo torre, no te quedes parado, asegura cangrejo o rota a mid.”
Kokob5 says “Early Kayle isn't that hard to abuse. Unless she's very good. In the event she is you need to respect that she'll abuse you if you miss your E. Only all in her if you land it because she'll use Q to slow you and W to get away otherwise. Phase rush is an acceptable pick here over Conq.”
SanLourdes says “Kayle can be bullied hard in her early game, but whatever you do, DO NOT LET HER SCALE. She will completely overturn the game if she can scale and delete everyone in a few seconds. Deny her CS, pull her in with your E, use every ult on her, whatever, just punish her hard in the early game so she cannot scale. Build your regular items.”
negoZoma69 says “Neeko can zone kayle and abuse kayle's poor early game until level 6 where the lane becames pretty even, and pretty much unplayable for neeko from lv11 on if you didn't manage to snowball. ”
Draconic56 says “Kayle is usually an annoying laner for immobile champions like Mordekaiser but Morde has higher ranger so you can pretty much lock down the lane completely. Pre-6 she is free food. Post-6 she is also free food. The only reason the lane is difficult is due to the urgency of you having to gather a lead. If you don't stomp Kayle, she will outscale EVERYTHING super hard and take over the entire game. You need to gather a lead on her early. Land every CS, punish every mistake, get every kill.”
Hesychia says “Easy matchup if you dominate the lane before level 6, if you can't you will have a bad time. Try to play more agressive before her level 6 because you won't have any time to get near her when she reaches 6, she will just poke you poke you and poke you till death.”
SleeplessX says “Try to stomp her early, or get lane prio and help your team snowball, to counter her incredible scaling. Freezing and zoning her or diving with your jungler are good”
Dorom says “This match-up is samiliar to Tryndamere. Punish her pre six levels and then try to somehow outscale her. She becomes very powerful with 6 due to her long range autoattacks, more damage ect...”
pioj12 says “Rather ez matchup if you know how to make snowball, you got the ranged advantage to bully her on lane.At lvl 6 try to all in her even if you don't kill her your R has less cooldown than her.”
gladiatorrr4 says “Try to go for aggressive trades against kayle. She can't really do anything about that. Kite her a bit. Poke her when is in Meele form.”
MrShykun says “LANE EVEN DANS VOTRE FAVEUR EN EARLY. DETRUISER LA AVANT LE LEVEL 6. CONQUEROR EST BON. STRIDEBREAKER FAIT D'ELLE UN FREE KILL. NE LA LAISSEZ PAS FARM. EN LATE GAME CE MATCHUP EST UN CAUCHEMAR. Kayle n'est pas en extreme du fait de son early lane execrable. Bien que son poke et slow soit chiant, vous devriez être capable de la tuer facilement avant 6. Attendez que la wave soit de votre côté de la lane, puis courez lui dessus avec le ghost quand vous arriver a la grab avec votre E ou une fois qu'elle fait un faux pas. Assurez-vous de la tuer encore et encore et essayez de l'empêcher de farmer car Kayle en late game sera ingérable si vous n'avez pas de lourd cc dans l'équipe. Conqueror est également un excellent choix avec Nimbus. Une astuce à garder à l'esprit est qu'elle ne peut pas lancer son ultime lorsqu'elle est étourdie. Gardez cela à l'esprit si elle est à 4 stack et que vous pouvez la tuer avec AA + R, faites E-AA-R. Si vous êtes assez rapide, vous devriez pouvoir l'ultime sans qu'elle ne puisse utiliser le sien.”
Lunarisen says “Look, we all know that Kayle early is garbage; but no matter how tanky you get, she'll always outscale the whole team. She feeds on the late game so your only job when laning against her is to bully and deny her farm as much as possible while farming for yourself. Besides that, pray your team have won their lanes as well.”
Pawn Sacrifice says “The problem here it's that she can outscale you. You must go for her even after stomp her in lane. Don't let her revive in game. ”
Alekra says “Very difficult lane after lvl 6 but you can trade before that. Go full sustain with runes and early Spectre's Cowl. You can win if she makes the mistake of going melee. But she will always beat you after lv 6 if she knows what she is doing.”
Erenando says “You will be able to stack up easily pre 6. You can easily sustain with sheen and go for some kills on her since she is squishy af. She'll be a huge threat with lvl 16+ so make sure to destroy her early on and remember to stack your Q's.”
sock217 says “Is VERY Punishable early game, but once she gets that ranged auto-attack, she will be very much like On-Hit Bard. Your Ult makes Her Ult useless, So try to save your Ult in late game for her.”
ToinoEscaca says “Kayle's early game is weak, you can punish and zone her so that she doesn't get farm or even XP.
It's easy to kill and she knows that, so she'll play super safe and wait for the jungler.
On lvl.6 she still can't contest farm or punish your mistakes.
When she hits lvl.11, my advice its to get the lane phase done with.
She'll win the trades and eventually kill you.”
GrGamingTeo says “Nine out of ten games that you will go against a Kayle player he will most likely be a one-trick or have a million mastery points. Kayle players will not let you kill them for free. Concider getting Phase Rush for this matchup. Zone her away from minions and once she hits lv6 all you need to do is get a good scheese off of her if he tries to kite you you can activate Phase Rush and chase her and maybe get her ult or flash ar even kill her.”
Drumastermunch says “Hemmm, kill her, zone her, don't ever abandon your lane : same for nasus, your goal through the entire game is to prevent her from playing the game.”
LunaticDancer says “Very easy lane you should generally win, but if you fuck this up, you basically lose the game. It's a very volatile champ, so you need to bully her.”
SpyDaFX says “must kill or get a lead before level 6, try to roam, try to get xp advantage over her and look for a big trade/all in at level 2 with ignite (e+w). you will shred her with ur conqueror and will get her flash or secure a kill.”
Ravenborne says “Abuse her pre 6 due to her low Damage. Let her push you in and when she is near your tower run her down with Ghost. When she is Level 6 E her and during the Pull ult her. Do not let her free farm, otherwise she will be a problem later on.”
Bear24 says “Run her down lvl 1-6. wait for her to ult then ult. if you guys trade ults your ult comes back first so kill her. She should never get ahead or be able to lane ”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Both tiny and extreme. Pre 6 she kisses your feet, then post 6 you kiss hers. Play super aggressive early lane to try and get ahead.”
wff010 says “Kayle is no longer the monster she was during preseason. Run her down like a dog as early as you can and then keep doing it. Your late game pressure is even higher than lvl 16 kayle with this build.”
ModelitoTime says “Extremely annoying matchup, if you can get help from your jungler because you will need it. You have the early game on Kayle so do your best to punish her in the early levels. Pre lvl 6 this matchup is in your favor, so do what you can to punish her in those first 5 lvls. Once she hits lvl 11 be really careful because Kayle tremdously scales at lvl 11. *Also note that her ult counters yours so try to bait her ult out before hitting her with yours*”
xxskipskipxx says “Play Aggressive and try to deny as much farm as you can !
E her E!
Trade as much as you can before she hits 6!!
After 6 you can engage when she uses Q! Hold on to your R2 for after her R expires!
Her R immortality expires a few seconds After the swords fall from the sky !!”
Hippo Boi says “Try abusing her early game as much as you can. After lvl 6 it's really a pain in the ass. Try asking your jungler for help, since you can CC her for a long time.”
LoLReal says “Easy lane. We can trade early with her, look for pulls with E and abuse her short range early. At 6 we can just all in and kill her every time.”
ineptpineapple says “What a pain generally has similar poke and really outscales you late game but you do mess her up early game so bully her as much as you can early game and use your ultimate wisely.”
Hyzerik says “They gave her a early game so it is very hard to stay in the game if you fall behind. Play as aggressive as possible as early as possible and try to get your items first and if you can get a kill with flash, as long as you don't die, do it!”
lulw says “You trade pretty well with her early, abuse her super hard pre 6. At 6 she gets range but try to windwall her slow. She isnt that hard but don't let her scale. ”
JannaMainOTP800K says “Skill E 2nd to block her E damage and than rip her apart. After lvl 6 she is ranged wich is sad but if you manage to Poke her properly she will probably waste her Ult after wich you can Kill her easily ”
NoFriendsPlayLoL says “Take the Hail of Blades page. All in her every time she steps to CS pre 6. I build Triforce in this match to nuke her when she tries to fight us. Deny her xp and farm by zoning. She has no threat pre 6 if played right.”
Raideru says “Very easy matchup, whenever she goes for minions just run her down with e after she attempts to use an auto attack on you after being lvl 3+ just engage her with q e and run her down she will never win these trades. Once she hits 6 do the same thing just don't give her too much free poke before u engage her cose if you're too low she can beat u with her ult.”
LeSocair says “Q her, and again, and again, and again, and again.
E her all the time and bait her R if you go for the kill.
DON'T EXTEND THE GAME TOO MUCH!”
EU_Toxicity says “Pre-6 this is one of the easiest matchups in the entire game. Zone her from CS and threaten all-ins with ghost. After 6 if she gets into your lethal R dunk range, pull and use your R right away so she wouldn't be able to ult during the cc .”
narsil reforged says “Teoria do Teemo. Se tem um boneco que consegue não te deixar chegar perto por conta da velocidade de movimento, e te auto-ataca de longe, é um boneco a ser evitado. Se te dá slow, pior ainda; se anula o teu dano e regeneração quando a barra de vida do WW estiver baixa por conta da invulnerabilidade da ultimate, evite ao máximo.
Pegue runas de sustain e peça ajuda ao Jungler, se ele vacilar e deixar você chegar perto, destrua-o o mais rápido possível conjurando o q para se reposicionar atrás dele+fear "insecando". Se ele não estiver 6, é uma kill quase garantida. Uma cadeia de cc com o R+W level 6 com o jungler garante a kill, uma vez que ela não tem muita vida. Aproveite aos máximos as pequenas oportunidades que ela ocasionalmente te dará vacilando ou jogando mal; no early game, ela te caita, no late game ela aniquila.
No mid game, um pickoff na side com um item ou dois pode te garantir uma kill, porém, Seja esperto.”
LowElobuilds says “Easy Pre lvl 6 then she becomes semi hard due to her becomming ranged but if you play your lane right she wont be an issue untill she reaches lvl 11 and 16 where she gets OP.”
iZeal says “Kayle pre-6 is easy to beat if you can catch her. Be wary of her wonky hitbox as she appears much larger than her actual hurtbox. Kayle will gain range and increased strength at 6 and 11 and once she has Hextech Gunblade it'll get very hard to reach her in the first place between Q slow, W speedup and her damage. Her ultimate can screw up your resets or even flat out deny any bleed stacks.
DBlade/DShield, Swifties/Tabis/Mercs, Phage, later on Adaptive Helm.”
DasGrauen_ says “You hard stomp every Kayle early and outdamage her hard.. She has no resistance and you can kill her very easily. But after lv 11-16 you cant do a shit against that ”
bocchicken says “She isn't a champion until lvl 11. She DOES outscale HARD, but if you solo kill her early (which is very easy since she isn't ranged until lvl 6) you can snowball and end the game before she has a chance to even play. ”
NoxianBlood says “If she gets Bork and Rageblade and goes Nashor full Attack speed, she will melt you very fast that you won't even press a button going into Sion Passive in less than a second, I think you can handle her in lane, but don't feed her she will outscale you very hard, ban her, or all in her with multiple CC lockdowns, she's is ranged at a certain level and she will kite you to hell, one thing you can do is using fog of war that might get her by surprise and kill her very quickly with lethality turning the game around, stand in the bush and full combo her.”
Vilemin says “its about how good is your team and kayle on it own if shes feeded you are pretty much garanted that you are dead but if you are feeded too it depends on items and runes”
byThiagus says “3ra pagina de runas Con triunfo y velocidad de ataque de secundarias y espada de doran. No la dejes farmear, pre 6 LA DESTRIUS despues del 6 Trata de no comerte mucho poke popea fantasmal y chaseala. A partir de nivel 13 se complica si estan parejos en farm y no la pudiste solokillear Pero es muy facil matar a este champ en todo el early incluso podes hacer un 1v2 a nivel 3”
Stijnzxz says “U smack her so hard with BORK omg but if her JG fucks u on toplane and she got the kills u are gonna have a hard time and so does ur team.”
Boblet says “Try not to push up and let her camp tower. Kayle is super safe this season and isn't on your list of big fatties to send it with.
She does however get punked on in 4 punches when you get a couple crit items, so that's a plus.”
TristanofJugdral says “Phase rush Kayle makes her early game so safe. If you can get on her lvl 1 she shouldn't lose. Go for small trades when she doesn't bring phase rush because once she's lvl 6 your laning phase gets much harder. ”
AWierdShoe says “Contest the push with Q level 1 while trying to shield her poke. Level 2-5 you should be looking for extended trades with 6 empowered Q’s whenever you can and push her out of lane or kill her. Try to get the blade up the lane while farming and when she walks up to get the Q on you drag the blade through her to shield the damage and taunt onto her while she’s slowed and walk with her to Q again.
”
TrinityForceYasuo says “She is really easy to face. When she uses her E wait for it to expire, block her Q slow and go in for trades. Try to fake that you are going for an all in so she uses her ultimate and then we she stays you can kill her.”
Scoothare says “She is annoying, her scaling is scary. Just ask for a few ganks and shut her down early and you should be good. You have way more CC then her on lower cooldowns. She should run out of mana early.”
eBrixton says “You can run through Kayle early on, but once she hits six, unless your jungle is going to sit on you like sumo wrestler, she will ranged poke you down or passively farm until she gets 2 items. She'll then use these items to ram your harder than a crack house's door in an FBI drug bust (If you know, you know :) ). Perma Ban her or dodge on sight always.”
StrikeX114 says “Before level 6, you can win trades and potentially solo kill her due to her low health and damage output. Between levels 6 and 11, you can trade roughly evenly with her, but you have to be mindful of her range. After level 11, you cannot win lane, as she greatly out-ranges you and can damage you faster than you can heal yourself. Your main goal is to keep her from scaling as much as possible.”
Saarlichenbog says “Although Kayle could be a major threat, ultimately without her being absurdly overtuned at the moment she essentially goes dead even with Kalista at most stages of the game if not slightly favoured for Kalista when considering last season. Kalista bullies her slightly more early game although Kayle has reasonable sustain through it whilst late game its flipped except Kalista doesn't completely fall off and can keep up quite well. It's just a matter of skill.”
Captain Dantems says “Você tem mais dano no early, aproveite e acabe com o jogo antes dela ficar forte. Grasp com inspiração ou chamuscar. Poção corrupta, anel de Doran, cristal de safira com 3 poções de vida ou com refil.”
ItsPaulygon says “You beat her early, but during the late game, she can out scale you. The reason why she is a major threat, is because of her late game power spike. Try to abuse her out of lane early, but be careful, she can still mean trouble for you in the early game with her ranged attacks. Bait out her Q and then trade. Don't underestimate a good Kayle player, so play smart and try to not let her scale.”
llametekudasai says “es muy facil matarla, fast combo ulti + ignite y deberia morir con las 5 marcas, en el caso de tener su ulti esperen a que ella la utilice para apretar R.”
TheMightyNinja says “She has no answer to Shen's extended trades till level 6, if you manage to keep her away from farming it will set her behind enough. try to freeze the wave at your tower to stay safe from enemy ganks and have way to chase her when you get a good chance.
The best thing to do is to deny her as much farm as you can since she scales later in the game, depending on how far ahead you can get yourself and your team the matchup is debatable.”
LOLArfopi says “Pretty easy matchup. Just make sure to snowball the lane to prevent her from 1v9-ing the match. She almost always takes PTA, so don't be brainless and get kited. Q in, W, Auto until E stun, then run out. Easy.”
open_48 says “Don't let her farm from the beginning and never let her have it first, otherwise she'll start attacking you from a distance.
don't use your R when she uses hers.”
aiSky says “Kled is a great option dealing with squishy champions thanks to his damage and movility, so it should be easy to play against them and get some kills.
If they poke you too much, you can always start with Doran Shield and still kill them without much trouble.”
wolfclaw3812 says “Kayle can't do anything to you before level 6, and after level 6, you can still run her down. AP or on-hit build will work for this one. ”
Nicklstherealone says “You wont Outscale and in Early you wont even be able to Engage her because of her W (Speed/Heal) and even if you do her Ult cancels your Execute and whole Damage. Ouh and she is AP Ranged. Kill her before 3.”
Frostyfps says “As long as you play around her poke pre 6 you should be able to solo kill early and snowball the lane, if you don't have a lead post-6 then you'll need jungle assistance to win fights, you'll wanna have low health minions ready when fighting post-6 to q out of her ult, if you have a lead then you win fights 100% of the time if you play it correctly. DO NOT TOWER DIVE IF SHE HAS R UP.”
Time1Save says “Any minion, any mistake is her death. Do not give her the opportunity to farm, humiliate her as much as you can. If you delay the game, nothing will save you. But as long as you play with an advantage, you have to give your team an advantage as well .”
Defensivity1 says “Start Cpot, then Dirk rush is the best against kayle, gives damage to your ghouls, all in her with 4 ghouls before level 6 and it should be an easy kill, After dirk just get Tri.”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Kayle is useless against Morde early, and even when it is late game, Morde puts up a good fight, and if he gets really ahead, he will continue to stomp her throughout the game. ”
TangoVallhala says “Ez pz if you dont play dumb, kill her as many times as possible pre six, make her miss xp and farm, try getting your JG to tower dive if possible, but also watch out for hers, a JG will have hard prio on her. Doesnt really become a problem for you until lv 16. If she splits try and have you or someone else mirror her.”
Luceris says “Grasp or Glacial Runes
Runes are up for debate because the lane can go many different ways. Glacial gives you the chance to get an early kill off if the Kayle over extends and takes too much poke to CS. But Grasp helps you in the Post-6 Trades. I find this lane to be quite difficult as you attract alot of JG attention from the enemies and tend to get ganked alot. Kayle scales much harder than you, if you think the game could go to 25-30 minutes then Glacial might be your best bet, as slowing her in the late game can be the difference between living and your whole team dying.”
Sa1tykid says “Another late game monster, you can kill her pretty early since she doesn't have her ranged aa yet. Otherwise just farm and wait for jungler to gank. ”
MisterDerpFace says “Bully her in early game and then you just have to worry about her ult and her teamates.
BTW: make sure she uses her ult first before you try to R her.”
EternalBadPlayer says “Idk if its just me but ffs I cant play vs Kayle with Darius. Kayle has slow, speeds herself, heals herself, and her R completely disables Darius R. I always ban Kayle also because she can just press R on ADC and we are doomed. She will stay top lane and farm, sometimes TP bot/mid to grab some kills and if you lose early game (laning faze) its gg.”
Kief says “Easy before 6. C'mon though, invincibility? It's better than yours in a 1v1 match up. Can easily kill her before late game if you bait the ult out.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Kayle since her rework hasn't been performing great, but due to a mini rework that makes her E not. I've seen that she's getting a mini rework where her E now has no Mana Cost, but still this is a pretty Nasus sided matchup, since she now loses the mana refund of Q making it super hard for her to poke you. Look to farm in this lane and once you get lvl 6 + Sheen and Boots (she can kite you really well, so don't underestimate Boots) and then look to all in her. Similar to Garen, when she W's she not only heals but she gets a movement speed buff so look to use your W after she use her W. Even full build, its really hard for her to kill you due to the ammount of resistances you get with R, also you can build tank while still infinitively stacking damage with Q. Later on to the game look to splitpush since in teamfights she can become really annoying due that she can protect her allies with W and R while dealing a lot of damage. She can decently hold you but look to do a short trade with E + Q combo and it will chunk her really hard to the point her lifesteal with Hextech Gunblade and W aren't enough, do it consistantly and then dive her with Ghost whenever she is low enough.”
SkellyBirb says “Kayle can do quite a bit of damage once she hits level 6. She has sustain and range, but if you get 6 before her, you can all in her for an easy flash or possible kill most of the time.”
SubHuman Filth says “Go aery or grasp.
You can hard poke her early game, but as soon as shes lvl 6 she wins most trades.
Id recommend go 3 points in q.
Dont let her ahead, she will destroy you. Focus on farm.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Kayle is EXTREMELY weak in the early game. She is melee until level 6so that means she is forced to either use spells to get minions or to walk up and auto attack. Even without much fury level one if kayle walks up and auto attacks a minion we need to position our character forward to auto attack her when she goes for the minion and the spin on her to extend the trade. Often times we can burn her flash levels one or two. Another big part of the matchup is when both characters hit 6, Tryndameres ult is a 110 second cooldown at level 1 however Kayle's ultimate level 1 has a 160 second cooldown. So if you ult and try to dive her or fight her and she ults and disengages. We have a 50 second window to kill her with an ultimate advantage if we wait for our ult to come back up. Mid-late game splitpush Tryndamere will win, and even when kayle hits level 16 Tryndamere still has a really good chance of winning the 1v1 especially if she is away from her turret.”

Puna ela muito puxando a lane e pokeando em baixo da torre pois nos primeiros leveis ela e melee
Rushar : Pistola Hextech ou Liandry's
”
Swaim says “kayle early game (pre6) is not that hard but after 6 she will just farm with her range and out scale you so not much you can do in this matchup unless you are ganked ”
ZergDood says “Try your best to bully her before 6. If you didn't kill her before 6, things can get pretty ugly. Respect her powerspikes, she outscales most of the champions in the game. Try to end the match as fast as possible. If that doesn't happen, try to get her out of teamfights with your R and lock the carry. Don't dive on her post-6.”
qazx1427 says “Good news? You win lane until she hits L11. Bad news? L11. Any Kayle with a brain won't let you go near her, and any ganks can be stopped with a well-timed W. She's got no way to leave your wall, at least, but the moment she hits 16, it's game over.”
Ayanleh says “Try to get magic resist. Her late game compared to yours is equal but your early - mid is stronger than her's. Try to get blasting wand then look for aggressive plays as she needs atleast 2-3 items to deal good dmg. Use your W shielding when she uses her ult.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “This champion is extremely weak pre lvl 6, but after 6, oh boy, it can get rough.
You go boots 4 pots here, E lvl 1 and try to zone her from the experience of the 3 first meele mininos. She either has to fight you and lose a ton of hp or she loses experience from 3 meele minions. Win win.
Take armor or MR based on enemy jungle.”
wallobear53 says “Harass her as much as possible with any ranged ability and Auto-Attack pre-six. She doesn’t have ranged Autos at that point and can easily be killed by the means of ganks and all-ins.
Her Q will be the main source of harass for her in this lane so avoid it at all times. Remember that it can go through minions for a short distance so don’t stand behind them directly and take free damage.
Constant ganks are needed to shut her down and prevent her from scaling. Freeze the wave near your tower and keep ganking her till she is scared to play too far forward. At that point, you can just zone her out with your presence.
”
renneleous says “Her early is where you have to be the most aggressive to prevent her from Reaching 6 efficiently, farming, and items. If not then the game can be very rough for you to win. Her late game, aka level 16 spike. makes her very scary to the point of destroying even the most fed of Summoners in team fights and one on one fights.”
Horu says “Basically a free lane, she loses mana poking you which you just heal back up every time you poke her with your combo. Bait out her heal with a fake advance so when you go in to trade, she has no way to escape”
Ashookaa says “abuse her before 6 when she walks up to farm all in and force her to recall early when she gets 6 she can farm from a distance so force her to push so ur jgl cn gank so she wont farm and get items and fast lvl 16”
Teemain says “She sucks early game, but do NOT let her roam around the map, or GOD FORBID let her reach her lvl 16...
Make sure you end the game FAST or try to gank her with your teammates when she's isolated.
Her ranged attacks combined with her very op protective R spell makes teamfights a very BAD time.”

ModxLoL says “Kayle is one of Riven's easiest matchups. Just stand in front of every minion she wants to go for while her q is down, and full combo her. It's easy to dive her too once you poke her down a little bit. At level 6, it's easy to all in her, and keep in mind that her ult at lvl 1 is an insanely long cooldown, so you can punish her whenever she uses that. Try to not let your ult go into her ult. Make sure she is stunned or knocked up when you ult so you can kill her before she can use it. ”
9690 says “D-Blade. She is a very easy matchup early, so shut her down as much as you can so she can't scale as hard. you can deny her so much xp and cs pre-6. Outscales you. Take Conq.”
E_IS_POWER says “She got some Buffs and they worked but You should have no Trouble against her. [1]If she uses her heal when she's in your Q Range, Run her down the lane. [2]If she uses Q on the wave, you can run her down the lane. [3]Her E is an Execute so If you're low on HP, it's worth Parrying. [4]Parrying her Ult is good if it's a 1v1. [5]Set up a Freeze because Kayle Players get a lot of attention from their Junglers.”
FallenAngel149 says “Kayle is like Tryndamere in that you have to really shut them down early. Your Q deals better damage than her E early if you stay healthy. Since you're building Deaths Danxe you'll be negating all of her damage if you crush her early.”
BloodyDream81 says “Ce match up est un peu particulier, Kayle n'a aucune chance de te battre en début de partie, avant son niveau 6 tu peux littéralement l'empêcher de jouer et la tuer si elle ne respecte pas assez, une fois niveau 6 c'est un peu plus compliqué car ses AA deviennent distances, et elle possède son ultime pour contrer le tiens, mais cela reste jouable, car si tu lui force un all in ou elle ne peut pas reculer sous tourelle elle n'aura toujours aucune chance ! En revanche, si une fois qu'elle est niveau 11, tu n'as pas beaucoup d'avance sur elle en terme d'exp et de gold, tu n'as plus aucune chance et il te faut reculer quand tu la voie, attendre de l’assistance pour l'affronter.
Astuce : Jouer Rush phasique, faire rapidement tes tabi ninja et 1 phase te permet d'abuser l'early de kayle qui est son point faible, et il te faut vraiment en profiter pour la mettre au fond, car kayle est un réel cauchemar en fin de partie, qui peut annihiler une équipe entière toute seule dans les bonnes conditions. ”
Dantheman81 says “Kayle is an interesting matchup, she is very easy to kill until she gets 2 or 3 items finished. Harass her as much as you can to slow down her itemization, and try to bait out or utilize when he ult is down. If she is ahead of you I recommend building an Adaptive helm.”
Xplor says “Kayle is not a threat on low-levels but can be on late game if played right.
You can easily take him down pre-6 and you should but beware and play smart. ”
Hunter Frenzy says “1v1: SA & Dom |
vs Burst JG: E & Res |
vs MS JG: PR & Dom |
Boots: Beserker's |
1st Core Item: Nashor's Tooth |
Spell Upgrade Order: Q 1st up to 3rd lvl”
bakk0n says “Kayle post level 6 is an opressive laner against melee champion in the top lane. Try your best to abuse her pre-level 6. Hard pokes, all ins and zoning her out of farm are preferrable. While Mordekaiser does not have the strongest early game of the Top lane, he is still an opressive pick and you need to express that against Kayle.”
Colin0224 says “CANCER CANCER CANCER. idk like dodge? you can try to beat her with 1 shot build if you cheese a few kills but she out-scales and kills your whole team”
Alzeidx says “Hard matchup, she will slow you and run, its hard to kill her, you might have a chance early if you take ignite on Top. After lvl 6 it will be really hard to kill her, all in early, ask for ganks.”
ForOrion says “Basically a walking kill. Her melee form level 1-5 is so punishable that pyke can legit walk into her and she melts under the HOB damage. Always bring long sword to this fight, and ignite for an easy first blood.”
Dedrick says “You win easy pre-6. Once she hits lvl6 just stick to bushes and poke her down with Qs before walking up and finishing her. Don't dive her while she has ult up.”
MrClockWorks says “You can bully her hard early but chances are she'll play really far back until level 6. Bilgewater cutlass active is huge this matchup to kill her early but she will outscale you if the game isn't over before she gets lvl 16 and goes god mode. You can still deal with her team of course if you get a lead early so try hard.”
report singed ty says “Kayle is just gonna scale on you and 1v9 your team no matter how good you are and how bad she is. Pretty cool.
She can also peel you away from flinging her every single time so you don't really get to fight her unless she screws up big time.”
Sq_09 says “Doable at first but scales away. You can't really poke her too so I would recommend not buying Cull unless she's agressive. You can't rly outkite her bc she's also ranged and outdamaging her would be hard. ”
Kingarthur720 says “one of the hardest amtchups for graves lategame. Kayle is one of the champions hwo are literally considered ez win late game. You need to keep her in check and make her go behind early game if not shell snowball out of control and will probably carry the game. I recommend fleet runes or dark harvest to scale better into the late game.”
TentiTiger11 says “Personally, I hate kayle. They out scale you by AUs. It is scary. They have high poke at lvl 3. At lvl 6, they gain ranged auto attacks, poking you in lane. At lvl 11, they have huge cone auto attacks. Their scaling is a nightmare to deal with. I usually ban morde, kayle, or talm kench most of the time. To deal with them, try to get your jg to gank before kayle is lvl 6.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “YOU NEED A MASSIVE LEAD BEFORE LVL 6 OR ITS UNPLAYABLE, TAKE BOOTS AND E LVL 1, SHE IS COMPLETELY USELESS EARLYGAME SO ABUSE HER OR LOSE”
Shoqi says “HardCounter
A ideia do Ornn é ser um TANK que muito Armor e MR.
Fora que o Ornn não consegue punir muito a Kayle. Por ela ser ranged, ela consegue aplicar pressão e conforme o jogo avança, ela bate mais em você.”
ShaharKarisi says “Shyvana is very strong early on, but on the contrary Kayle is very weak early on with no mobility. Try to trade heavily and negate Kayle's scaling. Call for ganks often because if she scales properly, she is a scary champion.”
SirDrPotato says “She is easy to bully in lane and very easy to be camped thanks to the fact that she's so squishy and has no mobility. Freeze your lane - I'll explain freezing and more wave management stuff later in the guide, but freezing is pretty much the act of trying to maintain minions in a certain area of the lane, usually close to your turret - and ask for ganks.”
LloydOrchid says “Bully pre-6. Don't feed her since she can 1v9 if she gets fed. If she's ahead, try to make her use her ult so you can kill her down.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “Squishy as hell, but scales decently and the longer the game goes on the more impossible she will be to deal with. However, her early game is pretty bad, which you can abuse to hell and back since she is very item and level reliant and if she falls behind the only thing she can hope for is to farm and stall the game until she hits her powerspikes. Early game is relatively simple, play aggressively and deny her as many last hits as you can, but try to not push TOO hard or else she will just last hit underturret. Since she is melee until level 6 that means she can only farm from range with Q and E, and if the former doesn't hit you she can run out of mana fairly fast. Simply keep up the pressure and ensure she at least doesn't farm too much, else she will just begin to outscale and become a nightmare in the late game. If you get a lead however congrats, you can roam at your leisure since she is basically a canon minion.
Ignite works wonders for the early game, but if you are confident you can with the matchup without it, you can go TP instead. HoB, Conqueror and Fleet are all useful.”
Itreallyhim says “Skill matchup, Kayle has super high DPS, And kiting potential, But you can kill her if you play right, Trade alot and try to poke her low, Her mana costs are high so abuse that.”
Circas says “As a Kayle player myself if you actually get to load into a game against a Kayle and she didn't dodge in champion select she is trolling.
This is one of those match ups that Kayle cannot do anything and just takes whatever abuse you want to dish out.
I wouldn't even classify Kayle as a champion before level 6, more like an over sized angelic cannon minion that gives you more gold when you kill it.
Also keep in mind her ultimate is 160 second cool down so it is even longer than yours.
You win this match up VERY hard.
Seriously if you ever some how manage to lose this match up you need to close League of Legends and re think life in general.
I joke but please don't lose it.”
LycheeMochigome says “Find a time when she is attacking the minion pre 6 and just e + q and get a really good trade in. keeping her dead and not leveled is the best way for you to snowball”
JohnakaCane says “Kayle is an easy match up, you can farm her for gold before lvl 6 and even keep diving her, get ahead as much as you can and rush mobility items to have ways to keep up the lead”
Rivenetto says “Early game so easy,before level 6 always trade her and dont let her farm.She outscales you so make sure u end the game before level 16.”
OakenshieldXVI says “She got armor breaker and cc. Abuse your early game and try to win the game soon as possible, or else she'll turn into a monster on the late game.”
Cats4lyfe123 says “Kayle can't do much damage to you at all while you're in your W. She's very weak pre 6, so bully her as much as you can before then to slow her scaling.”
DabPajusDab says “You win easily until lvl 6. After lvl 6 she will become ranged. After lvl 11 she will begin to deal tons and tons of damage. Try to get advantage untill lvl 6. ABUSE THE EARLY GAME.”
Oblak says “Kayle gets destroyed very easily, she starts to get strong only at the late game, you can do a all-in at level 3 and make the first blood without problems. When she starts to fall out of the game. Start some roaming, she can't do anything against it.”
AkenoSenpai says “Very weak champion in early, which requiers farm to pop off. In this match up instead of slowpushing towards your opponent, instead freeze the wave to deny as much farm as possible early on. This is a lane where passing on early tiamat is a good idea as it makes it harder to freeze.”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “You do win this lane pretty easily before level 6 and if you play it correctly even after level 6 you still beat her. Start The Cull as you really need to get an item advantage and she can't stop you from farming. Try to bait out her ultimate using yours and then engage again for the kill as you don't really need your ultimate in order to kill her. She can poke you out in lane so I recommend taking Fleet Footwork and running Teleport as oppose to Ignite.”
6MillionBreads says “Pre-6 is easy farm lane for you as Zac, you outsustain her harass and can get tons of free Undying Grasp procs on her. After 6 neither of you really have kill pressure on each other without jungler assistance so just wait for ganks, keep up farm, and maybe try to roam mid with E for kills”
ForgottenProject says “Q poke her early game
Kayle has no keystone so she’s weak early/mid
Parry her R damage. It negates the slow and slows her so you can finish her off
Usually you can fast combo her, force her ult. Parry it and finish the job
Don't let her free farm after you smash her, she will come back strong.”
Trial_By_Barrel says “Also a very easy match up for Gangplank. Her early game is very abuse able so you can poke her and you can lane barrels. Bully her out of lane so she isn't such a major threat later in the game. ”
Pedrokis says “Muito fácil de se jogar contra, principalmente no começo. / Pega ignite e abusa muito dos seus Qs. / Caso ela tente fugir com o W, usa seu W com o Q pra garantir o puxão, daí acaba com ela. / O seu objetivo é matar ela muitas vezes, evitar que ela farme e não deixar ela crescer, por que Kayle com muito farm carrega facilmente.”
The Lost Drawing says “Le ganas el early-game y el late es 50-50.
Armate 'brillo' para tu 'trinidad' porque si no la matas o al menos la sacas de linea te va a deletear en las TF mucho mas facil”
Pickle Pick says “try to shut her down early, like you usually would, but she can be a pain if she gets ganks. If she gets ahead it's really really hard to come back. Especially since her late game is arguably better than Ornns”
Valorkyrie Quinn says “Kayle may be strong late game, but she is not good in the early game. Quinn can easily burst her down and snowball the advantage, to help Quinn reach her 3rd item powerspike.
Tip: Always look for all-ins when she uses her E to last-hit minions in the early game. ”
feederfromelohell says “Mages in general are really bad against Sion on lane. Kayle has possibly the worst early game of all before lvl 11, so you should be able to crush her even easier than Lissandra.”
Big Belly Bop says “ABUSE your range advantage early on, Pre-6 she cannot do much to you. Post-6 she will start to out scale you and 1v1'ing her becomes much harder. Deny her CS, and coordinate ganks to shut her down. Flash + TP, Doran's Blade + 1 HP, Burst rune page.”
R3action says “She can slows you and speed herself up, making your E ( slow ) useless and your W ( Wall ) harder to use. As she become ranged it is harder for you to fight her”
ExfIamed says “Pretty easy, just full combo her everytime she uses her slow, all you really need to watch out for his her ult. Bait her ult out before you ult and if she holds it till shes 1 hp just wait as long as you can and ignite her and she'll still die.”
9690 says “Easy lane. We can trade early with her, look for pulls with E and abuse her short range early. At 6 we can just all in and kill her every time.”
Loevely says “Any rune with a lot of damage works vs Kayle. You need to abuse her as hard as possible early or she becomes a farm bot that never dies until 16. ”
numpadddd says “Not the biggest threat until 6 (when she becomes ranged) dont get baited by her ult (she can cancel your R with it) annoying at 6 and higher but winnable”
Defensivity1 says “Kayle will become really strong once she hits level 16, against kayle it is recommanded to go with the conqueror page however, grasp should do a fine job aswell. do not be affraid to trade against kayle before level 6 and throw a lot of ghouls on her. against kayle you should start with cull and potion as she is really weak early and cant punish your lack of a dorans shield.”
mightydylan101 says “Kayle is pretty easy to beat you just have to be sure not to be caught out of position if he's low as he can ult and quickly turn the fight.”
ProgettoYorick says “Kayle is up to you to destroy her, even during level 6 she can't do anything, she also uses her R! if it is closed by the W with ghouls on your side it will be easy to knock it down.
Advice from OTP:
try not to do stupid things against her, you can allow me some mistakes, if you make too many, the lane will be lost”
hotdog93 says “Deceivingly good level 1, so don't try to cheese her. Hard to kill early if she has bone plating, can sometimes win lane with lethality. Try to get your jungler to repeat gank her if you can, she's a ticking time bomb until she's a level 11 2 item right clicking machine. ”
ThisIsJustSad says “1. This is not a fun champion to play against.
2. If Kayle does not have fleet footwork, you can freeze early and get a strong early lead.
3. The big problem is that Kayle R stops you from Proccing vitals, meaning that you cannot cannot cannot teamfight until you see who Kayle Rs. Even if she's 0/10, she can still effectively beat you in team fights.
4. Also, she scales really hard even when behind, so she'll always be a threat you're forced to deal with.”
linsher19 says “She's scary late game but she doesn't do that much damage early on so use that advantage on stacking thoses Qs and you will destory her ”
Skarner Main says “I dont really struggle vs kayle because if you get 45% cdr this bird cant move
just try farm and go for some short trades and all in her if you got the chance to kill her”
Karnan says “With corrupting pots and inspiration tree she just has a ton of sustain. Early executioners and bully her from creeps. She will outscale you but not until late late game. Even if she R your R you can still get a easy pick if you drag the person away from their team. ”
DerpzGG says “If you take cheesy runes, she’s gonna Have a HUGE delay for her late game potential, Plus, You can kill her before she can kite you. Watch out for the ult clutches Tho.”
Kalrex says “Like Trynd, her ult also negates your ult. Sort of annoying, but you should be able to out-trade her until ~20 minutes and when she panic uses it to try and run, just spear her in the back when it goes down for the easy kill. Her range gets sort of annoying post-6, but she will shred you at her level 11/16 power spike. Obviously, she scales harder than you”
picklehater77 says “Pre-6 she should be easy to deal with, especially with Kleptomancy being a non-factor nowadays. However, if you can't get her behind before then you'll have a miserable time since she can kite you infinitely after level 6. ”
Ze mentira says “Max Q. Rune: PTA Page.
start corrupt potion and back with dark seal and doran's ring to a good poke.
//I reccomend you do mercury's threads, and Wit's end(trinity force) to win any fight against her.”
TryndamereBawt says “If kayle gets to the late game you can be ripped apart so try and get the jump on them and get them to waste their ult have yours up and you should be able to win”
Hamstertamer says “Kayle can poke pretty well early game but you beat her in an all-in, since your attack speed slow cuts down her DPS pretty hard (max W second). When her passive isn't stacked you can just mindlessly charge in. Adaptive helm makes her cry.”
Polkadog says “So in the early-game, you dominate to lane. Constantly harass her so she can't farm. Late-game you still have an advantage over her since you're a tank and she can try to save herself only for a moment. Kayle can output some serious damage but if she feeds you in the early-game, you've won the game.”
Chromuro says “She can't do too much damage early, she's a nuisance because of her heal and invincibility, but it shouldn't be a problem; farm enough and the tentacle will do their job. The only (half) ranged champ that I can stand.”
blunderr says “Pre lvl 11 Kayle is very weak and you win the matchup very easily, after lvl 11 she becomes a monster and you have to be careful fighting her. To prevent her from becoming the late game hyper carry that she is you should poke her as much as you can whilst still getting CS, deny her as much as CS as possible to prevent her from getting gold and kill her as much as you can.”
Rhinoface says “You're a pretty safe lane for her to scale. She gets hit by your E she'll just W away. Usually not worth ulting her unless she's pushed into YOUR tower. ”
HKRV says “In early game you kill her easily. Abuse it a lot and let her push the wave so easier kill pressure. DON'T LET HER GET LVL 16! If she's behind still has enough juice to turn the game. So force to end early or really put her behind. ”
Weakling says “Kayle is ideal matchup against Tryndamere. No Tank, Not a lot of CC, not a problem in early. Even in late game where she has transformed if you have Ult theres no way you cant kill her. 3 Autos and she is dead.”
sir monsieur says “Trades with Kayle require a good reaction and positioning. Your Q poke will outdamage her E if you're not low, but if she'll land her Q on you, you'll lose the trade anyway. She's a major threat after she reaches 6, but all of her danger is based on her R.
Read matchup details below.”
Poppu says “Kayle is really weak during early phase and uses up alot of mana. Bait her into using mana and trying to outsustain, would suggest getting ganks to secure kills and trades. Also, going really aggressive with your lvl 2 can end up with a kill. It's good way to get her to be more wary of Poppy than the wave.”
Aizo says “She will greatly smack you in the lategame, however in the early to early midgame you are able to push her around due to her very weak earlygame.”
Petethebossch says “She can't punish stacks heavily and is very susceptible to jungle ganks. If she gets ahead though she is a team fight monster and you can be sure you team will be spam pinging you.”
TheOsKaRoO says “You'll win this lane almost every time, since she can't do anything during your early roams, also doesn't have a good escape, but be careful after 11.”
Jnewbringspain says “Since rework this matchup has taken a 180. You have a huge advantage early on, especially level 2. She has no escape so you can Leap in, and she can't really damage you while you Counter Strike. By the time she hits her power spike, you'll be very far ahead and should still be able to handle her.”
messketchup says “Take advantage of the bushes, you can sometimes cheese out a kill by baiting the Kayle in too close, then hooking into your Q and W. You should be doing this anyway, and Kayle is one of the least susceptible toplaners to it if they know what they're doing, but it's still a neat little trick that can get you a free kill if they're not paying attention.”
Angela du Seithr says “Elle n'a aucun moyen de se frotter à vous jusqu'au niveau 11 car vous dominer au corps à corps. Même une fois le niveau 16 atteint, vous pouvez la surprendre avec un énorme burst. Ne pas sous-estimer son ultime et bien positionner votre E.”
Devitt45 says “This match up is really easy. After her rework her early game is horrible compared to Garen's. Just try to Q her when you have the chance and if she is pushed up, you can easily kill her. Just be careful if you are going to tower dive, because she might ult herself and stall, so try to bait out her ultimate.”
Zestysquid says “Her ranged auto attack ability will mess you up, but post 6 it's often easy to bait her. Depending on when she triggers your boxes they will outlast her ult.”
Jnewbringspain says “She just doesn't present as a threat until very late in the game. Engage often early on and try to delay her late game spike. She has range, mana, and damage problems early on so use this to your advantage.”
Ryako the Exile says “In my opinion an easy matchup but better watchout of ganks, watch where the enemy jungler could be or is. You should never lose against kayle if she is on your lane except she is getting fed ”
Bombabo says “Bully her. Hard. If she plays passive with Klepto, freeze wave and have you jungler come. She will outscale you if you do not shut her down in lane.”
RainbowNova says “Kayle is weak early. Abuse her as much as you can and get prepared for lvl 16 if you have to by getting Adaptive Helm and Warmog's so you can negate some of her damage and heal it back if you can manage to run away. ”
ImpossibleLogic says “Same as Nasus however some people can fall victim to Kayle's poke disengage strategy however whenever she even comes close you can Q her she'll most likely follow up with her W in which you can Q E and knock her up setting up your W which she cannot get out of into your final q and passive auto which should be enough to kill her. if she flashes out of your W that's fine as you'll kill her next time if she flashes after she was grabbed by W you can flash in the animation of your final Q to land it knock her up and finish her with your passive.”
FunkySoul says “Wait, this is supposed to be hard? Your ulti is better than hers, so end the game before she hits 16, or else you're in for a beating.”
Brentard says “Early on, its a cheese lane. You can bully her and still roam. Its great. But after 11 its best to just farm as needed. But the guerrilla tactic works pretty well vs her even with her ult. Just... save your ult until after she ults, (unless she is silenced or its on cd)”
DrMoneybags says “Garbage early IMO. Her poke is meh, just use the bushes to avoid most of it. Once you are lvl 3-4, all in for a free kill. The jungler should just sit top and help you get fed if anyone picks her. Try not to dive lvl 6 with her ulti up. Otherwise, good matchup for kled.”
OnionMilkshake says “Same as Nasus however some people can fall victim to kayle's poke disengage strategy however whenever she even comes close you can Q her she'll most likely follow up with her W in which you can Q E and knock her up setting up your W which she cannot get out of into your final q and passive auto which should be enough to kill her. if she flashes out of her W that's fine as you'll kill her next time if she flashes after she was grabbed by W you can flash in the animation of your final Q to land it knock her up and finish her with your passive
(Recommended: Conq)”
TheNinjaRoid says “If she's good, you'll get bullied out of lane. If you can farm, you'll destroy her. Get Mercury Treads and a Sheen and you should be fine. She wins late if allowed to snowball out of control.”
TheBoltLord says “Kayle is easy as all in lane to deal with... unless you make this game a late game then your screwed. Basically try to end the game quick and your fine and bully her as much as you can... or your most likely going to lose against her true damage.”
Aulenza says “The new kayle is pretty easy to face early game but when she gets level 11 it starts to be a pain in the ass. Control the lane in early game and try to finsish the game as fast as you can.”
LosAngeloser says “Pretty easy matchup, but you have to keep in mind that her late game is immense, so you have to get a strong lead on her. Go clepto and bully her a lot.”
ElleryTheViking says “Pre 11 you have full control. You need to push her out of the game. You have every advantage pre 6 given she's melee. She'll have to choose between you killing her or no cs. A freeze is your best friend in this matchup. If she cant CS, she can't buy items, meaning she'll be useless when she goes God Mode post 11. After that time, she'll work her way back into the game and likely start melting you if you haven't snowballed.”
LonerFKS says “her ult will basically destroys you so flash to bush and stay there until you're sure that she is gone. (if her ult is gone then poke her)”
kingkang2 says “Beat her early. Yorick's level 3 power spike is amazing against her. She has nothing to get out of your rape cage, so get an early flash or kill with it.”
E61K says “Used to be much harder but the nerfs to Rageblade and nerfs to her as a champion hit her like a truck. Also the meta shifting to short games doesn't give her enough time to acquire her items and become this huge hypercarry threat. This matchup is easy pre-6 but post-6 she gets her cockblock ultimate which just makes her more annoying to deal with since a well used ultimate can deny you your ult reset and ultimately shut you down in teamfights. Tabis are great against her because she deals the majority of her damage through AA's. Then continue to build into your core and after that pick up Adaptive Helmet. Phase Rush + Ghost highly recommended.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Auto attack based, potentially out-scales, Ranged, AP, Invincible Ultimate. Weaknesses: Weak early game, Melee throughout most of the early game, Low Mobility. A ranged matchup that’s difficulty increases the higher Elo you go, and the more people understand how to abuse Ranged vs. Melee. Typically, you want to poke her a few times with your vitals when her E is down. Once you’ve gotten her low enough, look to all in early since she doesn’t have the CDR to consistently stand at range to CS. Once you do that, focus on CS-ing and All-inning her when you can. It is also important to keep in mind that her ultimate, when active, prevents you from dealing any damage to her and does not allow you to proc any vitals. This prevents you from not only dealing damage but healing off your passive and life steal as well so keep that in mind when finishing her off at low HP. It can be a bit hard to build against her because she does mixed damage. If she gets ahead of you, it becomes that much harder to deal with her because she has a slow which hinders your ability to reach her vitals and all she needs to do is auto attack.”
Suthafru says “Kayle - its a very simple situation
the new kayle has a poor early game in exchange for one of the strongest late game scalings
jhin top exists purely to abuse early game leads.
she's helpless to your poke”
Daniloooo says “Rush Withs End and you win in a 1V1 ezy (Dont die till you build Withs end)
Withs end is super cheap and youl get it before she gets her Nashors.”
SeaWeeb says “Especially with the rework she will poke you hard and deal a ton of damage (soon to be true). Try to gank and be ready to disengage if she has ult. She will heal up so punish her early and do not let her get a lead. She will become a late game monster so harass as early as you can but don't overextend or get too cocky.”
Sion says “Like Jax, she's a 2-item powerspike who can 1v3 easily. BUT, she is easier to fight earlygame so capitalize on that. Shove her in and avoid trading when she Q's you as she will either orb-walk or kite you depending on your movement.
Post-6 is still killable as you can bait out her R with a minimum charge Q”
Vincheelo says “She can slow you and kite you to death. Her damage makes her pretty scary and her ult can counter your ult. Luckily, it isn't too bad pre-6, so try to kill her and get your lead. Later on, she'll be hard to kill and so will her teammates, so your Noxian Guillotine resets will be hard to get.”
SunKnight116 says “Kayle, insane defense that can't be broken, since this is a tanky build, not really damage. In order to conquer top lane, you need the jungler to gank
before Kayle is lvl.7 ”
Bakiraka says “As long as you play passively, this matchup is exactly what you want. She doesn't have a ton of kill potential and doesn't have a good way to get onto you. The only thing she can do is shove you in, which is pretty much what you want. The only thing is that you won't proc Kleptomancy too often.”
Trixelkour says “Play it right and you win, play it wrong.... You lose the game indefinitely. Rush Adaptive Helm into Abyssal Mask. You should win against her if she's behind. Be cautious of her ult, because if she times it correctly she can deny your ult damage. Take Exhaust and you win.”
E61K says “Nothing but her Q can be windwalled. Her early game is shit. Her late game is god-like. Abuse her in lane by windwalling her Q and cutting her down afterwards. Tabis are extremely effective against her since AA's are the only source of damage which are worth mentioning. Always keep her ult in mind because it can turn fights around. Not only in lane but also in team fights. After all Kayle is basically a worse version of Yi with the exception that she can used ranged AA's, offers some utility, a tiny amount of CC and a cockblock ultimate. Should she ever become a problem somehow then Adaptive Helm + Tabis will drastically cut her damage down. She pushes naturally if she wants to use her E to poke you. So it's easy to gank her.”
undeadsoldiers says “Lane Aproach:lv1 cheese + 2 stun else play passive farm with Q, trade when her e is on CD
Key CDs:R
Notes: Hexdrinker if you get dicked on, usually should be easy to all in her after 6. Play around her ult.
”
Omega best says “Volibears worst counter, range, can put herself invincible and can one shot you, build mr, playsafe and dont forget to call for ganks anytime and NEVER, never rush her unless if ganked”
Zachlikespizza says “You can bully her extremely hard in the early game. Do your best to wait out her ult and you should be able to survive her damage.”
Mouadyam says “easy early on, but gets harder because of the fact that she's ranged and that her R has a very short cooldown, kill her early and snowball your lead to other lanes to end fast, she outscales you hard, adaptive helm is a good buy here.”
Demon Lord AC0 says “Another Braindead champ. You gotta try your best to kill her before she gets level 6. You can, and you should windwall her Q since the Slow is pretty stupid. She will poke you a lot so start Doran's Shield. You can also Rush PD. You can only kill her lategame if you bait her ult somehow. If you hard engage her she will just ult herself and then destroy you to bits because her damage is way too high to tank before her ult ends.”
Trixelkour says “Wins. EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. TIME.
Get Adaptive early on to tank her E, but won't prevent her from ulting and healing away. Hail of Blades to harass and disengage or PTA if you are confident in your duels. Counters you hard the later the game. Take Exhaust or Ignite to make your all-ins easier Pre 6. ”
iam colorblind says “Very easy to play against her until she get her first 3 Items!
You can dodge her AA very good with ur E.
Your Ultimate makes u tanky and u can go for her.
If she pops her Ultimate, try to go for the kill or piss off!”
joelblack says “Same as Jayce, not very common. You have an advantage early game because she has to waste mana to attack with range, while you have it naturally. Just juke her to activate it, then back away and poke her right when it's about to run out. She's only a problem because she can slow you and give herself MS to run away, so positioning is key in this matchup. Post-6 will be annoying because of her ult, so you can either poke her til she uses it, then go in, or wait til she has about 60% health then go in. Be wary though, if you go in, be fast about it. Try using R into a wall when your Rage is full then get your combo off, so she can't use ult.”
CaioOP1985 says “Kayle depends on her auto-attacks. Wither slows them down. Do I need to say what happens? Altough, watch out for her Ult, it can cause your premature demise.”
Dacnomaniak says “Much like Heimer this lane is going to be annoying. Try going a more aggressive build and engaging on her when her E is on cool down.”
JovexMasina says “Kayle is an absolute nightmare. There is only going to be 1 opportunity to win lane. Levels 1, 2 and 3. If you do not get a kill during these levels, then you have lost the lane. The thing with Kayle is that she always levels her ranged AOE autos. So if you were to close the gap and hit her melee, she would effectively have no abilities to use against you as you are already melee range. You HAVE to kill her then and there. If you want, you could take Ignite or Ghost to help you finish the job. You gotta snowball hard on her and kill her fast. Letting her rule the lane will ruin everything. Phase Rush is okay here.
”
GOTG Ment135 says “Para ganar contra Kayle, debes ser extremadamente decisivo sobre si quieres pokearla o pelear con ella. Si te mantienes al alcance de sus ataques básicos sin comprometerte a matarla, ella te matara. El tiempo que tarda tu ultimate en ejecutarla, supera la duración de su ult en los niveles iniciales si está controlado correctamente, usa esto para tu ventaja.”
galvapheonix says “ Kayle is an interesting matchup, she is very easy to kill until she gets 2 or 3 items finished. Harass her as much as you can to slow down her itemization, and try to bait out or utilize when he ult is down. If she is ahead of you I recommend building an Adaptive helm.”
T1 Lilou Senpai says “Kayle is a ranged attack speed based ap champion with a huge attack range. She can outpoke you very easily. Wait for the first gank and farm to get ahead, then she'll be useless against you.”
thedunkening111 says “A little bit pokey, and it outscales you to hell and back, but you can definitely kill her. You got the lockdown for it. Look to avoid getting poked, and look for points where you can E in to either get a nice long trade off, or an all in.
Take Conqueror”

Tips Against Kayle in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Drewmatth Taliyah says “Doran + 2 pots or Corrupting, really depends on prefference. Go for the kill as often as you can since you will outdamage Kayle in every way early to mid (especially if you position properly). Get a full combo on him and you won early. Try to roam if she plays too defensive.
Don't waste your full combo on a Kayle that ulted herself.”
Ambitieux says “Kayle is treated as a melee laner until 6. So just like most advice towards melee matchups, poke her down, get her under her turret and only q when she is going for minions. Pressure with charm but never actually use it. Super easily gankable. Only issue she has pretty good long range damage with her q e combo for pokes. But with good jungle pressure you can shut her down early. Look for roams whenever you want. ”
Yeager says “Probably the easiest matchup in the game. If someone picks Kayle into Orianna mid, consider it a free win. Take Aery with scorch and absolutely crush her in the lane by constantly poking her down with auto attacks, and abilities. Zone her away from every single CS, so you force her to use E on the minions instead of you.
Don't give up a single CS for free, not even under her turret. Place the ball between her and your minions, so she will be completely zoned out.
You have permanent lane priority in this lane, so your jungler is free to do whatever he pleases, and you will always be able to back him up if he goes for invades.
”
Coldsong says “Kayle is similar to Kassadin in the sense to where she has a bad laning phase but an amazing late game. The thing that makes her slightly more annoying to deal with is the fact that she is ranged and she can go invulnerable. Bait out her R and you should be fine.”
Katasandra says “[1] Try to poke her, but you cannot kill her unless she eats too much poke or you get jungle assistance.
[2] Focus on roaming.
[3] Post 6 she can walk up to you and smack you, jungler makes the difference.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Very easy lane for very easy scaling, can just take Conq bc this lane is very easy and scale to the fullest. If she ever ults just E back and then wait for your E to come back up and kill her.”
Katawina52 says “Pre 6 you have the upperhand, but if she's not shit she will just play the wave correct and not push and wait until level 6. After level 6 u auto lose and only way to win 1v1 is with a gank, u can all in her tho and E out if u get ganked so she wastes her ult. ”
Dr Eggmund says “Has very annoying poke with her E, additionally those who choose Kleptomancy can stack this on you in order to gain her items earlier and gain her power spikes. Once she hits level 6 it's going to be difficult to kill her, it's best looking for a kill sooner or later. Like usual poke when you can and farm better than her with your early game presence.”
Sylvan Lore says “Kayle has a mediocre lane phase but and an range of lategame depending on the champions around her that she is buffing up. If done correctly, you do effectively outrange Kayle allowing for free trades where you take no damage. Most Kayle builds that I have seen involve substantial life steal so anti-healing is required if your team needs you to match the push in a side lane. Once she gets her attack speed going, you won't really be able to match her in a splitpush position, so you need to build as much damage as you can and hopefully crush teamfights harder than she can splitpush.
”
Yasukeh says “Reworked kayle is incredibly weak early, and really easy to get on top of and yeet her out of existance. If you get the wits end build, its easy to duel her at all stages of the game. -”
Aethlo says “ Kayle has the wave-clear advantage. ||
Kayle loses pre-3. ||
Kayle loses slightly pre-6. (With her heals and fleet footwork - it's very hard to kill her.) ||
Kayle loses post-6. ||
Tips: Kayle ult is very annoying but she can't use it when cc'd - you can instantly one-shot her with scaling builds throughout the game as long as she can't predict your burst. I recommend going the one-shot build for protobelt - you win every early skirmish and can one-shot her regardless late game - so it's very effective against her.
”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Don't think ive seen a Kayle in about 1000 games but if you do see who don't worry it's a pretty easy lane. Go hard on her lvl 2 when her E runs out, early game with no CDR her E has 8 sec downtime which is insane bc she is basically useless during the downtime. Post 6, if she ults when you knock her up, do not ult unless the fight isn't even close and you are just looking to gapclose with it.”
LunarVortex says “Kayle is rather vulnerable due to your Qs due to her lack of mobility, however, there comes a point in every game against her where she just snowballs/scales away from you and you can no longer go near her without being torn to pieces before your R even goes off. Abuse her lack of mobility and early game power by calling your jungler to camp her and never let her get into the game.”
Dj Memelord says “Super easy early but can be a huge problem if she gets scalings. So tiny threat early but even when mid game and extreme late game. Push wave and roam with relentless hunter”
mrmundo says “More of a late game threat than a lane threat. The thing about Kayle is that she snowballs heavily but she sucks early game. That is your chance. Deny her CS every time, and be careful around her at level 6. DO NOT let her scale. If you do, the game is over.”
TheDuskWalker says “Any Summs. Phase Rush.
Constantly harass her pre 6 and make sure to punish her if she goes for cs without her e. When she hits 6 respect her and make sure to take short trades and try not to let her proc pta. ”
Oxydation says “I dont like this Matchup, because Akali is not strong Level 1-5, if the Enemy dont get really greedy. A good Kayle will just wait until level 6 and outscale you. Anyways you are always are an Assasin.”
seemes says “very easy lane. you can duel her pre 2 items but after that she gets a bit scary. make her loose as much xp and gold early and ideally try and solokill.”
Little Planet says “Kayle has a notoriously bad pre 6, which Sejuani is very good at abusing.
Trade as much as you can and try to deny as much xp as possible, if you get 6 before her she's defenseless.
End the game asap or you will get horrendously outscaed.”
Joseph Evanss says “Constantly pressure her off cs, you should be able to kill her in lane a few times. If it gets to late game wits end is a must buy but you can still kill her if you land your combo. Go Bone Plating, Overgrowth + D Blade”
TheSecretsWithin says “Kayle is one of the 16 power spike champs but is nothing for a Kassadin, her range might get annoying, but if you max your Q, you should have no issue, she isn't very mobile, so if you watch her misposition, you can hard punish her. And her R takes quite a long time to actually deal damage, so just R away if you are low and just re-engage when you are confident again. ”
ahspaghetti says “useless pre 6, so look for an all in before you and her hit ult. after you both have your ult, you might as well never engage in an extended trade against her as she can just ult and get rid of all of your damage. look for jungle gank to get rid of it, then engage”
peytonqt says “[EASY] [PR/Conqueror/Electrocute] [D Blade/Long Sword] Pick on her pre-6 because she can't do a lot. You can usually look for trades on her after she uses her Q projectile. If you get hit by it wait for the armor reduction to go away and then fight her. End the combo with Hammer Form E because she won't have ranged autos to kite you. Post-6 be a bit more careful because she'll start scaling and your burst won't matter as much due to her outplay button. Get your items and look for plays with your jungler (After you clear your own waves ofc). In team fights focus Kayle if you can because it'll force her to ult and she won't have it for other priority targets.”
Noodles912 says “Easy lane. Try to engage with q and burst her. After level 6, don't use ult with all your abilities. You wanna force the ult while still holding an ability. Do not R when she has W. Try to not get outscaled. If it gets to late game, just blow up her adc, as she will need to give up her important ultimate.”
PASS10NE says “Kayle is the late game goddess, so destroy Kayle early game. Therefore, good Kayle players will play safe pre 6 and will just counter your all in at lvl 6 with his R. It will be really difficult to stop this champion from scaling, so the only way to stop her is by ending the game before she hits 16.”
Impossible2Gank says “If she plays safe you'll eventually be unable to deal with her so try to get early ganks to shut and slow her down from reaching late.”
Aht3ns says “Try to zone her from EXP as much as you can pre level six, and hit your cleavers. After that, Mundo is losing and your team will have to help you.”
Coldsong says “Kayle has a terrible early game. Bait out her R and you should be able to keep oneshotting her over and over again. She is scary late game though, so do not stall out the game and end asap.”
BigBushMan says “Look to kill her early, this matchup is the easiest for Akali early on. She can only sustain through Corrupting Potion and Biscuits, and if you are able to all-in her pre-6 she can't do anything. Just try and win the lane and snowball out of control before she hits level 16. In short, this matchup is a ticking time bomb, Defuse it before it blows up in your face. ”
Yamikaze says “She always shoves in the wave. You want to play passive when her E: Righteous Fury is up, and go ALL-IN when it's going on cd. Be sure to click on her champ, so you can her stats, and see when her E will go on CD. Ask jungler for help if you are shoved in and unable to do anything.”
wildersovereign says “Just like in the lore, Kayle is a thorn in Morgana's side. Kayle, unlike the majority of Morgana's bad matchups, cannot do much to her early. Rather, Kayle threatens the late game significantly, and you aren't well equipped to prevent her from reaching that state safely. Kayle's auto-attack-centric playstyle can whittle your health down fast once she reaches Level 6. Before this state, however, she is a weak fighter, so try to bully her out of farm as much as you can without completely running out of mana during this period. All is not lost, however. Her R blocks your damage, but not your CC, so you can win an all-in if she doesn't kill you before you complete your combo. Building against Kayle is also very difficult, as she deals mixed damage. Additionally, her weak early game lets you get lane priority early, a rare luxury for Morgana. Take advantage of this to help your jungle secure kills and objectives. Keep track of the enemy jungler, don't be afraid to get aggressive, and end the game ASAP.”
Aikairi says “You win pre-16. Try to bait out her ulti and fight her. Or use E-W so she will ult, but don't stand on your daggers, so after she finishes ulting you can damage her. if she saves her ult, then you can just damage her until she eventually uses it. You win either way, but forcing her ulti out early makes it alot easier to kill her.”
FalleN3 says “Kayle is a relatively easy champion for Annie to lane against. Poke her as much as possible in lane with your AA but concentrate more-so on farming.
You will be able to 100-0 her after level 6 with your full combo and (R) Tibbers.
If she (R) Intervention to survive your combo she will have to either run away from you to back or you should be able to finish her off before she can kill you.”
Sadkid says “Kayle is quite annoying. A good kayle will minimise lane and carry the late game. Play around your range and her ult. You win early skirmishes in the jungle pre 6 so get leads off of that. ”
WolfRider01 says “She outscales you if she gets fed. Her early game pre-6 is really weak, however don't underestimate her poke lvl 6 and beyond. You can take either fleet or Conq. Take TP if top, take ignite if mid. She will likely build AP/AD Hybrid, most likely getting a Kraken slayer.”
S4V4 says “She doesn't win any trades early game, but that's why she hard outscales yasuo and wins pretty much every fight after level 16. Try to deny her farm as much as possible early game to prevent her from scaling.”
Bobbab says “Easy matchup, kayle cant fight you untill 11+ and by that point you should be turbo fed and snowballing. Dodge her q or just all in as she cant compare to your damage early game.”
Grayified says “You outrange Kayle until Kayle reaches level 16. At level 11 is when Kayle becomes strong. Play aggressive early, and try to group after Kayle gains the level 11 power spike.”
FalleN3 says “This is a skill match-up but she is a nightmare lane pre 6. Make sure you don't take too much free harass early game as she packs quiet a punch. Try your best not to fall behind because even after level 6 she is still a problem due to her ultimate. Call for jungler help in this match-up and be weary of engaging on her. Farm as much as possible, roam and look for picks especially in botlane. ”
FalleN3 says “This is a skill match-up but she is a right pain to deal with. Make sure you do not take too much free harass early game as she packs quiet a punch. You can bait out her ultimate and then pop your shark onto her as it's about 50% through in order for it to be garunteed damage. Call for jungler help in this match-up. Farm as much as possible, roam and look for picks.”
BloooodTV says “D-Blade. She is a very easy matchup early, so shut her down as much as you can so she can't scale as hard. you can deny her so much xp and cs pre-6. Outscales you. Take Conq.”
Yuki H. says “At this point she isn't even a champion until level 6. But after 6, things start to get rough since she is a pretty strong champion right now. The only thing placing her on "even" is her early game, or her laning phase, which is what the threat scale reflects. Look to roam, and make sure to abuse her early game as much as you can, but never overextend since junglers exist.”
Veralion says “DH/Dark seal. Kayle's 1-5 is pathetic; you only have to worry about her Q and E, one of which is dodgeable, and both have long cooldowns. You should be able to farm relatively undisturbed. However, now that she gains her ranged attacks at 6 instead of 11, she can become aggravating to deal with. I need to see the lane more (she's back to being run mostly top lane nowadays to hit 16 faster), but I don't think she should be abusive enough to warrant Fleet. I would suggest buying a few beads on your first recall, though. HoB is a bad idea for this lane since she can simply immune its entire combo, but it may be worth taking anyway to help your jungler fight for objectives. Your call. Her ult has a massive cooldown, plenty of time to build another bar and get her the second time around if necessary.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “She can't really do anything to you till her first ascension
After that, she'll chase you down and poke you back with Q, a few autos and E unless you stun her.
Keep in mind to abuse her since her W takes a lot of mana, she can't keep up with the mana usage compared to you.”
snukumz says “Mostly a farm lane.
She can heal a lot of your poke damage.
Push her in with your better wave clear.
She's hard to kill post-6 because of her ult but you can kill her easily pre-6 with the help of your jungler.
You both have tons of damage late game but I give you the edge because of your longer range. ”
goodimbinatas says “Veigar has to bait her ultimate before casting his own ult onto Kayle - this becomes easier when Veigar's Q+W combo deals more damage. She can't cast her ultimate when she is stunned in Veigar's cage.”
JacWilly says “Dominate her early game, but outscales you hard, try to abuse her as much as possible, but be careful of dying from roams and giving her a kill, she will build seekers and tabis and will beat you if shes ahead. Post 6 , makes it hard to ult her as her ult counters your ult, try to roam as her waveclear early is terrible”
BigBushMan says “Kayle is one of the easiest lanes to face, she can literally do nothing until she scales, so just abuse the hell out of her. However if she gets to level 16, she will destroy every hope and dream you ever had. ”
serruh says “she wants to scale, you want to scale. except you get stronger a lot faster and have a lot of ways to help your team snowball. look to poke her while she's melee, just shove her endlessly once she becomes ranged or look for small trades, never take extended trades”
Kami_EU says “Easy matchup, pre 6 trades almost always go in favour of Yasuo if you respect her kiting potential.
Later your mobility will help you out-manoeuvre her.
In hyper-late your way to win 1v1 is to bait her R.”
Yas Yasu Yasuo says “This b*tch is flying. Same for Anivia, aim her shadow. Her ult counters you. She will destroy you in lane so try to roam as much as possible when she is not focusing on you.”
8wolf says “Early game she doesn't really have dmg, she is extremely squishy and easily poked. Careful in the lategame tho, as she scales very well with 2-3 items and you might have an unpleasant surprise at some point.”
LightningDeceptigon says “Her ult makes it very hard to kill her, and her W gives her healing and MS, making it hard to chase her down and hit 2 Ws. She also outscales you hard so you have to snowball early to win. Try to force her ult and then go for an all-in, because your ult is on a much shorter cd.”
ShockStrikes says “Harass her early game, she will be looking for kleptomancy procs, dodge her poke, and just try and get ahead of her. Try and get your jungler to get a few ganks early on.”
Open Meta says “This cosplayer is hot and will fall before your mighty big black guns. However, if you're in NA and you are facing against Riot Kayle, you're fucked. Run at the sight of this cop otherwise you will receive Divine Judgement from false rape accusations because 2020.”
ZEDORSON says “Kayle counters you with her ultiamte (R). So always try to poke her to low hp before you will use your ultimate on her. If you have problem play vs Kayle. Take exhaust (no ingite) you will reduce her dmg and she wont escape from you. After her 16lvl don't try to fight with her 1v1 without W or flash. Items vs her? Executioner->Mortal reminder and Guardian Angel to late game”
Cloud375 says “A very annoying matchup. She has longer range than you most of the time due to her W and her Q will slow you down with her ult stopping you from killing her if she is allowed to use it. She's not unkillable, but she is very tough to face.”
Garybaldo says “Bully her early game, Grasp and Phase Rush are both good, don't let her cs and try to deny her XP, it's a very easy lane however she'll outscale you hard so watch out for her lategame, you might want to build Spirit Visage or Banshee's if you do get to late game”
ShuUis says “Wow, those recent kayle changes really bomb akali really hard. Akali can solo kill Kayle 60 percent of the time, but Kayle can win the game 99.999999 precent of the time (exxagerated but OML). In midlane, you won't see her often but pls brainstorm on what you will do before the game. ”
chloric says “Get as many Q + HoB trades on her levels 1-2 then you can kill her with E + Ignite. Flash if necessary. You beat her ass and make her your bitch until her Super Saiyan 3. But just like Vlad, don't let her scale.”
DVL CHALLNGR says “Compared to Old Kayle new one is not that big threat for Zed and almost no more Skill Matchup
You will just need to burst her in Early Game but if she farms you will have to build Hexdrinker
You know you must be careful in Late Game because she has much Attack Speed and you need MR to absorb her damage”
OnlyCheeseBreads says “You stomp her early even more than most champs. By the time she gets ult, she will likely be so far behind that you can just ult without flashing, burn her ult, and then engage later. Her ult cd is way longer than yours, abuse that. Also since most of her damage is point and click, your W can disrupt it temporarily.”
Vispectra says “I've played against Kayle mid like maybe 3 times. Her early is worse than yours , it's terrible. You can probably out-trade or kill her when you hit 6. You'll be able to force her out of lane. Just remember she scales HARD and will be an issue to deal with late-game.
”
Pyrexini Autism says “Not the easiest matchup she can get out of barrel range pretty quickly and her ult can change the whole situation but if you predict right you can still win the lane.”
ryze4thewin says “You have more burst than her so small fast trades. Watch her ult cd if she does not have it trade if you have your combo ready.and the new kayle is weaker than you in early and in late you can also burst her just dont let her all in at full live and you should win ”
AzureArmatt says “She's not the strongest champion early but in late game you can't ignore her damage. She will try to gain as much gold as she can to deal damage to you and will harass you with her poke that empowers her basic attacks to deal AoE ranged damage. armor / magic resist shred passive makes her dangerous in longer fights without resistances and her ultimate is short lasting immunity to any form of damage, if you want to kill her you need to bait her ultimate first or charm her and finish her during the duration of charm, it's good to take exhaust against her if you think you are not going to win on 100%”
thedonk says “Pretty easy because she is melee most of the time in laning phase. Kayle scales hard late game though because she starts to turn ranged. Try to avoid wasting damage to someone who has been R'd by her.”
Padrepio says “Care of her R and her empowered AAs. You should be ok before lvl 10, after that she probably has enough AS and CDR and becomes a serious problem.”
Jazzmonkey says “She will zone you with her E. You can just wait it and trade her after its on Cooldown. You will outtrade her but trade with brain and wait her cooldowns. Try to kill her befor hitting 6 and try to kill her again with level 6.”
moutenn says “Many think of her as a hard counter, and to be fair her Q is almost a Nasus slow. But you can kill her pre 6, then just kill her over and over again. You do more damage, and her ult wont safe her, if you wait with R.”
ThePhantomPsychic says “This i think is by far mordes hardest lane. Kayle does way too much damage over time, and has antiburst for 3 seconds, which is conveniently the length of mordes q and w (yes w is 4 seconds, but it still negates most of the damage).
Once you get to late, kayle will focus you down and murder you.”
Sozzoh says “Kayle is pretty easy. Pre-6, you'll want to negate as much farm for her as possible. Post-6, try not to have extended trades with her or dive her under tower as she will most likely pop her Ult and probably kill you. If you can, try and bait out her ult so she's less of a threat to your life.”
Katapullt says “When you Face a GOOD KAYLE you can't really do anything. You have to try to get lvl 3 advantage and bully her out of lane and out CS her. Later she will zone you no matter what. When you engage she will Ult herself and you don't deal any damage and obviously you dont get your resets.”
