How to play it

Don't get kited
She has a Q slow plus a movement buff, so don't chase to max-E range: build Swifties if you can't stick, and dodge the slow that lets her kite you.
Your ult window
Your R lasts 5s vs her ~2-3s invulnerability, and your ult is up 40 seconds before hers: dive her, or wait for your ult and kill her with the advantage.
Abuse her early
Kayle is melee and extremely weak until 6: fight her in the wave, punish her every time she walks up to CS, and deny xp even at the cost of gold.
Never give her free experience: she thrives on it and only becomes a threat if you let her hit levels 11 and 16 uncontested.
