Guide to Countering Rammus as Kayle

Tips for Playing as Kayle against Rammus

Kayle benefits greatly from Attack Damage and Ability Power, making hybrid items like Nashor's Tooth and Hextech Gunblade very effective on her.

Using Divine Judgment on a high-DPS ally can turn the tides of battle by giving your ally free reign to attack.

Kayle's attacks become incredibly powerful once she gains attack range from Divine Ascent. Play safe until then.

Rammus often stacks high Armor, leaving him especially vulnerable to caster damage while not in Defensive Ball Curl.
