Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 heavily as Kayle can freely poke you while you have no gap closer, making CS difficult and dangerous.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure if you can land W and stick to her, but she still has R to deny your all-in attempts.
How to Trade
- You should focus on short Q trades when she steps up for CS, using W to prevent her from kiting you effectively during the trade window.
- Look for all-ins only when her R is down and you have ghost/flash available to close the gap.
Wave Control
- You want to let the wave push toward you early to farm safely under tower and stack Q, only looking to freeze when you're strong enough to contest her.
- Avoid pushing the wave as this exposes you to poke and ganks while giving up your safe farming position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to take extended poke without proper sustain items, as Kayle will whittle you down and deny your farming completely.
- Don't chase kills without your summoners up, as her kiting potential and R make failed all-ins extremely costly.
