epic kayle main

[cerulean summit]

hello fellow lol players. I've been enjoying kayle a lot for the past seasons. I thought about climbing with her in s13. any tips that could make me climb faster with this champion? (I know how she works already)

[rugged slate]

hii old kayle main here my only advice to rank up is to be very flexible with your runes and builds 👍

and perma banning trynd 🧍‍♂️

also I feel you kinda have to only play her

and to rank up period taking frequent breaks and playing like 2-3 ranked games a day max

[cerulean summit]

hey thanks!

[cerulean summit]

yeah trynda is pain I agree
although.
jax annoys me so so so much more

The basic Idea is basically just 16 win game. Prioritize always in hitting 16 before even fighting, you will be useless till then. Even if your team flames you, just stick to solo XP till then. Once you do hit that strong power spike, it's the matter of how well you position yourself and game sense. Can you kite well with Kayle? Is your timing on ultimate a well used one? Etc

[crisp flame]

basically things to learn on kayle is good ulting (ult to block the most dmg not when ur low) and playing the pre6 well. kayle isn't a bad champ early if ur into a melee champion and is able to run down some champions if they get too close. kayle has one of the strongest lvl1s in the top lane because of her lethal tempo and passive shes able to beat most champs if they bush check into you including rengar. rengar only beats u lvl 1 if he kites u out a little bit for q cd and has ignite. post6 u beat basically all toplaners and you are a tank shredder so those matchups are just over only real challenging lanes are jax imo trynda is pretty easy if u can get the matchup down. for build specifics i'm guessing u know how to build but the important thing is that i dont see a lot of kayles doing is buying boots early which is the most important as it lets u kite and get more autos off when u chase a good trade

also I’m like years late but another good ban imo is nasus

yea u beat him late but u sure as well hope ur team stays even or ahead so this dude doesn’t run u over since he lowkey free scales 😭
or hec is a p good one since this dude gets easy ass ganks and he’s just annoying and lowkey kinda op rn 😭

[cerulean summit]

I’d recommend to learn wave management a lot more in depth as it decides a large margin of your game as kayle. I’d also recommend building ad as it’s just a better build with better items. That and be ready to have unplayable games where you just have to sit tight and scale.

[crisp flame]

kayle is a nasus counter he's one of the easier matchups as u can just walk him down lvl 1 with lt if he comes near the wave

hes a low range melee champ which are kayles easiest matchups as she's strong early into those and nasus is unable to contest her lvl 1 (she has a very strong lvl1 with lt rn)and on top of that she outscales him as she is a tankbuster.

[dense valley]

i perma ban teemo cuz i cant stand him. never met a great trynd, is he that hard to counter?

also by being flexible with runes wdym?
i always take lethal tempo and phase rush against nasus, what else should i do?

(i am not new to kayle but i never went in depth when it comes to builds and stuff, i just take wit's anti magic and zonya anti ad/burst)

[dense valley]

yeah but from my experience nasus destroys kayle at sheen lvl 6 100 stacks and till 2nd item, he is very strong betweeen lvl 6 and 11 and he will get u behind

[rugged slate]

he is most definitely not one of the easier matchups 😭

honestly if he dies at all in lane he’s straight up inting
he has the ability to run away from you, you have to hit minions to stack ur autos but then again he can just run away

you also hitting the wave means he can easily get a freeze around lv3

this mu is so reliant on ur jungler too and especially since his cripple is point click ur more prone to ganks too since his champ is safer (built in sustain w out having to use so much mana) than urs at lower levels 😭

[crisp flame]

u win pre6 u lose at 6 u win at 11 onwards just farm and punish early

[rugged slate]

u don’t win pre 6 😀

[crisp flame]

u do very hard he’s extremely low range on his dmg

[rugged slate]

that’s if he’s basically trying to lv1 you

but like realistically… how many nasus players will do that

[crisp flame]

he has to be kd to fight u and he doesn’t win against lt kayle

u can go watch kayle replays a lot of kayles get 1-2 kills pre6 into nasus

[rugged slate]

with jungler assistance or naw

[crisp flame]

u also just our scale him as ur a tank buster

solo kills

[rugged slate]

ur also looking at games that are way above the average rank 😭

[crisp flame]

nasus players will just trade kayles in lower elos as well lmao

kayle is a better scaler so in low elo she’s better tbh nasus just gets kited even in low elos

[rugged slate]

idk I got ptsd from nasus

champ stinks ass to play against because he’s safe as hell vs you and will run you down later on
i reeally don’t get how a nasus dies to kayle early? like you click w and run away from her

which is why I’m so confused and u cant rlly “poke him out” bc he just sits there and chills w his passive
then you autoing him early fucks up the wave because u take aggro and he can just chill on the side and wait for the wave to push back to him

[rugged slate]

i think teemo is more manageable than nasus and trynd
q max take dshield + second wind
trade with q e combos and take ignite

[rugged slate]

also for builds you can also branch into ad and on hit

manamune is also a good option on her bc it procs on her waves
and 3 times on her e I believe (wave, e spell, and auto)

[dense valley]

why max q? saw ppl say this but i dont see much reason (i believe its good but is it really worth more than max e?)

[rugged slate]

it’s better for poke
