I'll never understand Riot. Trynd and Kayle were two late game beasts that needed great farm or early kills to thrive. They had no need for these changes. Trynd getting a 1.0 ratio while keeping his ap is silly. What they did to kayle was even worse. The idea was fine except it should have applied instantly. Her passive now reads 'get guinsoo or else'.
What they did to kayle (paraphrasing a red post here) was not to make her rework instantly good. They just wanted a build that they could fiddle with if it was underpowered, or overpowered or whatever state it was in. The way she worked before required a remake to be fiddled with. She still plays fundamentally the same so yeah.
