Jungler: Kayle

A few days overdue, but as I've posted a revised jungle Kayle video I should take the time to comment on jungle Kayle

Kayle is an extremely unique jungler. She is not only one of a very small list of junglers who fall back on a support role if they are aggressively counterjungled, but she is also one of the only ranged junglers. While you can jungle a number of AD carries, Kayle stands head and shoulders above them in terms of clear speed, sustain, and simple usefulness on jungle levels of farm. Similarly, she makes better use of jungle farm than most supports who can jungle. She can even become a bruiser with the right build. By being versatile and strong in both adverse and advantageous situations Kayle can fit into many team compositions.

Despite her versatility most teams are used to running tanky junglers designed either for initiation or for diving the enemy carries. Kayle, even when built like a bruiser, does neither of these things. What she can do, however, is make one of your carries impossible to kill, all while doing significant damage herself. Your team needs to keep this in mind during picks and while playing.

Kayle can be a very fun jungler. I recommend trying her out, there's little that beats watching Karthus running around invulnerable in the middle of the enemy team.
