Kayle was released in 2009 but was not as strong as other top laners. In an effort to address this, League of Legends made several changes to her over the years, culminating in a major visual and gameplay update in 2019.
The 2019 update gave Kayle a clear identity as a late-game hyper-carry who can use both AP and AD items. This made her a versatile pick for any team composition. However, her weakness in the early game has been a burden for her team, and by the time she reaches her full potential, the match may already be over.
To address these issues, Riot Games has announced a mini-rework for Kayle in the near future. These changes will improve her kit and make her a stronger pick throughout the game. So if you're a Kayle main or considering playing her, keep an eye out for these updates!
Kayle changes
The upcoming changes to Kayle's kit are mostly focused on nerfs rather than buffs. The only significant improvement will be to her ultimate ability, while other stats will receive only minor adjustments.
Base Stats
- Attack speed ratio reduced from .667 to .658
Passive – Divine Ascent
- Wave base damage changed from 15 – 35 based on E rank to 26 – 40 (lvl 11 – 18)
- Wave AP ratio reduced from 25% to 20%
Q – Radiant Blast
- Slow reduced from 26% – 50% to 25% – 45%
R – Divine Judgment
- Base damage reduced from 200 – 500 to 200 – 400
- AP ratio reduced from 80% to 70%
- Bonus AD ratio reduced from 100% to 90%
- Invulnerable duration changed from 2 – 3 seconds to 2.5 flat
- Damage range increased from 500 flat to 675 – 775
- Cast time reduced from 1.5 to .5
The most significant changes in the upcoming patch for Kayle's kit will be to her ultimate ability. While some aspects of her abilities are being nerfed, such as base damage and AP and AD ratios, the invulnerability time has been made more consistent at a flat 2.5 seconds.
Additionally, the cast time has been reduced from 1.5 seconds to just 0.5 seconds, which means that Kayle can now use auto-attacks while she is invulnerable.
