Kayle has a greater difficulty than Poppy. That means you must be cautious when enlisting Kayle allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to to cover for your other teammates. Combined, these champions will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

In contrast, by pairing Poppy and Kayle together, you may not be giving your other teammates very much magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their potential.
