r/Kaylemains

So I‘ve been a Kayle main for 3 years now. She‘s been carrying me to diamond and I‘ve been comfotable here for a while now. But lately I feel the urge to try and push further. Really get back in there. Now a problem I face alot these days is that I feel I lack impact. When my team performs well, we mostly win anyways but if the team falls behind, we mostly lose. I feel like I can‘t really carry when its relevant. So I guess what I want to know is:

How do you carry late game? What do you do when the team falls behind and you can only go even (because of hard matchup of whatever)?

To clarify a bit more, alot of times I feel many champions just deal alot more damage then me. Example: yesterday I 1v1 a katarina, fullbuild both of us. I attacked at max range and hit the mta proc. She went to 1/3 of her hp and then proceeded to onetap me with a single dagger + E.

Generally I always seem to just not deal enough damage. I know this is hard to answer when you can‘t see my gameplay but any advice I would appreciate.

TLDR: My laneing is pretty solid I‘d say but I feel a lack the abillity to carry late game

Recently went back to League, currently around emerald elo and im genuinly surprised that people dont build it as often. It was her overall best 1st item after rework

The strat is - PTA, pom, alacrity, last stand; 2ndary bone plating overgrowth for better laning and level 1 or absolute focus gathering storm for late game ap boost

1st item doran blade for extra omnivamp paired with gunblade and better level 1 kill threat

Sums exhaust + flash. It gives u sticking power for level 1/2 all in, and later paired with q and gunblade slow ur sticking and kite power in 1v1 is amazing. It also lets u survive ur loooong ult CD downtime, get some surprise retaliate kills when they try to dive u etc.

U build gunblade 1st and u also build berserker boots to cover for ur lack or attack speed. Early on extra ad helps a lot and ur quite strong level 6 with berserkers and extra long sword ad. Then i usually go nashors rabadon, situational. U can also go dusk and down 2nd or 3rd and rabadon 4th for smoother power curve and extra healing.

Omnivamp is amazing stat on kayle, with W heals u can suatain easily through laning phase and pccasional jungle camp clears. The instant slow for Gunblade makes ur Q hit almost guaranteed and surprise opponents a lot. (Gunblade, Q, Exhaust all in when they missstep)

I find a lot succes with it and it made playing kayle a lot smoother for me. I main her top but it should work mid as well. I also tried recent terminus build but honestly Gunblade just feels better and extra slow alows u to build berserkers for more raw stats. Let me know what u think about it.

I'm pretty new to Kayle and I would like to otp her. Everytime I watch a guide or some videos (kayle 1v9/ desesperate Nasus) it's either people describing her as being a counter pick, or players playing her midlane (which I'm not a fan of).

I've played some of her worst matchups and without the help of the jungler, it feels like I can't do anything aside from trying not to die, and without tools for making some outplays or being aggresive, I just can't do anything when my team is falling too far behind.

I previously otp'ed Riven where even in the worst matchups carrying games remained possible, it doesn't feel quite the same with Kayle.

Does anyone actually otp Kayle top and climb with her?

(I'm low emerauld if it changes anything).

I tried it once, and I felt way stronger than The standard ap build , even at late game , you have less burst but way more dps with lethal tempo and your just so much tankier
Do you think it’s situational or just as good or better then the ap build

Can someone tell me what I’m supposed to build on the Terminus rush build? I’ve been seeing Gunblade after or Kraken/Guinsoos and Bork

I start the game facing Sett ( I'm currently trying the terminus build, so my lv1 is basically LT and guardian runes with doran bow). I know that they love hiding in first bush, so i ward that bush, I see him, he sees me and engages on me. I don't know if I can kill him with LT and no ignite but I don't even try.

And from that exact moment, I'm just fucked. He gets prio on the wave, he does not even dare to touch it and zones me till he gets his level 3, I tried to get on or two cs xp (not even the gold, the xp) but he just catches me, and I can't do anything with my pathetic e.

After getting level 3, he crashes and kill me because I am a horrible player. Then the game is literally unplayable for 15 min ( 2 levels behind, 60 cs difference, and I limited that to only 1 death)

Now my question, how to avoid that, or what can I do to limit the damages? I never stopped to ping my jungle, I think I even titled him, which was not even my purpose.

Tried some level 7 ganks on mid and jungles bullshit, while Sett was setting his freeze, didn't change anything.

Tried to go mid, but my midlaner didn't want to. He was playing ryze, pushing every lane to the maximum, and I didn't get any cs for 20 minutes.

The only good news we won because him and the jungle carried the game, so what now ? I just admit I played the weak side, get sodomized, and still getting the win ? Or can I do something, by my own without the help of any other player, or an error of the enemy?

I'm still learning the game and I know it's just pathetic to loose against a Sett as Kayle but please guys give me some tips I'm just so desperate right now.

I really wish they had old voice packs i could use cause i hate this edgy shit, the sound effects were also better on OG aether wing

Kayle is obviously not a champion but rather a glorified minion. Everytime I have one of those selfish pricks who thinks he will play the entire game solo, not impact top lane, not follow any roams or TPs, still be around 80cs behind at 20 mins, continue farming while rest of team is losing every objective to the fed enemy garen thinking he will somehow become a hero and carry late game when he's actually weaker 1v1 at level 20 vs almost all top lane champs, I just queue up, pick kayle, and make others suffer the exact same agony,., it feels soooo good making others play 4v6

Hello Kayle Mains,

I recently picked up Kayle and have been able to climb from Gold 3 to Plat 3. Since getting to plat 3 I have been getting absolutely stomped by everyone. Before going up in rank, I’d have an easy time getting prio in lane or even straight up 1v1ing the enemy too easily. Now all of a sudden, no matter what I do, I just can’t get any prio in lane which just leads to me being behind all game. Like, they literally just walk up to me under my tower and 100-0 me and I just can’t do anything about it. I know what to do once I’m behind but what I’m trying to learn is how to win early so that I’m not always trying to catch up.

Any tips?

I've just seen a vid on Pentakayle's YouTube channel where he explained how he was able to obtain the above as part of the Crystal Rose skin thing that's dropped today.

I'm not seeing that in the event options, and honestly seems a bit weird how that would be shoehorned into a Crystal Rose themed thing anyway but ok, whatever..

Any other fellow mobile people able to affirm whether they are seeing it as an option? Just wondering whether it's region locked or summat.

Cheers!

Top main here, I love playing ADC's and I want to play Kayle top. Kayle is the hardest scaling champ in the game, and yet I feel like every time I play her, she's useless. Even when I hit 16, she does nothing (for me). I know it's a me issue so I'm asking the experts. I usually play PTA or LT. I build standard AP build path. I feel like I do nothing. I usually get maybe 1 kill in most of my game sI try to play her. What am I doing wrong (with limited info)
