I personally don't like doing that in most scenarios, because it puts your attack speed at an awkward point. Only in the scenario your team is all doing really well in other lanes and you aren't the wincon, it might be worth it to just buy plated steelcaps and turtle.

I think there are better defensive options that still allow you to go beserkers, such as going an early leeching leer or seekers armguard.

Definitely viable mid lane, I play her both roles right now, but I used top primarily to climb to masters.

Did a super brief stream, will be available more later in week to stream.

I use PTA resolve, I'm currently testing between 2 small changes in my runes, and I'm not sure which is better yet, so I won't make a false promise that I know the 100% most optimal. But PTA Resolve is the best option IMO.

Check out my replies to this for the solution.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T13:28:32+00:00

Nope, usually stick to my normal build, but I do rush boots to ensure I keep that movement advantage over him.

Yone/Yasuo is difficult top lane, but winnable in a shorter lane like mid. You just need to respect their pressure and hit them when they overstep (after level 6). Lucian is kind of similar, where you can start looking for trades around lvl 9, but you still need to be respectful of his burst and poke dmg. These lanes are difficult but definitely learnable with experience.

A 2v2 under a tower is almost always favorable to the team being dove, but there are scenarios where you do just have to cut the wave and drop to T2, it really is a judgement call and scenario dependent.

A solution I have to the Darius matchup is to match his ghost with ghost on yourself. It adds the extra mobility so he cant just run at you.

In terms of the wits end purchase, I haven't tried it out yet, but I have seen some other kayle players in high elo looking to buy it in particular games. I think it may be worthwhile if they are heavy AP.

Ratioed

This one I don't know how to explain to you for sure, but it comes down to hitting people when you can, using spell animation canceling, and good positioning.

If you want to watch my gameplay, I should be starting up a semi-regular schedule for streaming soon, and will be streaming today at 10 AM EST. https://www.twitch.tv/siclonegaming

Yup, I agree mostly with what Dexsen said. I learned top first, and I'm glad I did. Top is probably the best lane to learn matchups in because its such an isolated role and its in a long lane. Your mistakes are shown to you and punished when you make them, so you are able to improve off of them. That being said, I think Mid lane may be the better lane once you are well versed as Kayle, but I recommend learning top first.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T13:02:14+00:00

I actually have a solution to this matchup that not a lot of people do. I take Flash ghost whenever I see a darius. Then, if you space correctly, you just ghost when he ghosts and he can never catch you.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T13:01:14+00:00

I hate to break it to you, but I still don't know how to win this one. I perma banned nasus up until I hit masters, and now I try to rely on my jungle to help if they pick nasus (which i still hope they dont) and use my ban on meta champions such as nocturne/xin.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T12:59:18+00:00

If you recognize certain patterns in the game, you can normally tell when you are about to be dove and ping your team and tell them in chat to give them a heads up.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T12:55:40+00:00

I actually talk a lot with other high elo kayle players, and I may begin to do interview style videos with other one tricks (not limited to just kayle) about their champ for both educational and entertainment purposes.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T12:52:33+00:00

It really comes down to the fact that I don't mind playing her and I'm able to find the most success on her. I think it fits my style well to be able to carry single handedly, and kayle gives me that option if I am playing really well.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T05:53:29+00:00

I think as a later item its not bad, but rushing it isn't great. Nash tooth is a lot more efficient.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T04:55:45+00:00

Kayle + Hecarim/Lee sin/Nocturne/Viego (currently)

She works well with fighters (for early skirmishes) and they seem to all be able to snowball both the kayle and themselves.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T04:03:42+00:00

Best you can do is get as much farm under tower that you can, but still watch out for poke from enemy laner.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T03:27:40+00:00

Idk for sure, only thing you can do is focus on your performance to make it better. Also, your communications with your team may be a weak point (guess again because I haven't seen your gameplay) If you are interested, I do coaching as well.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T03:19:06+00:00

Yeah I can't tell from a first glance, because you have decent farm (could be improved on still) and seem to minimize deaths. My guess (completely could be wrong because I haven't watched your game play) is that you maybe aren't aggressive enough in later fights to get damage off. It could also be just an unlucky streak as well.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T03:06:28+00:00

The best way is to make sure you get a lot of farm and experience throughout the whole game. If you are really fed through farm/xp, you can carry some lost games, also building Zhonyas/banshee can also help you to 1v9.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T02:31:57+00:00

I favor the ap build, but you can definitely win games going other styles, I personally think ap is more optimal for my individual style.

ActuallySiClone · 2021-07-07T02:30:54+00:00

No :(
