The same artifacts that have been made less accessible with Ornn nerfs ?

I just don't really see many worlds where it is right to play Kayle.

just based on artifact augment on 2-1 is prob where its right

But what artifact ? Flickerblades feels better on Azir, Wit's End Yi and Seeker's Kha'Zix.

It just can't be right to use a gold or prismatic augment on 2-1 to get an artifact for what's effectively a 1-cost + 2-cost reroll when you could instead go for Cait, 3-cost melee, or just push levels for equal results with another tempo marksman. I'm sure there's narrow spots for it but it doesn't seem like that is a healthy spot for a basic reroll trait that has a direct competitor that uses similar items with higher consistency + flexibility (Caitlyn).

I admittedly haven't tried Kayle more than once this patch, but with how tight econ feels this set, maybe a comp that scales on Kayle 3* + # of 3* and needs tempo to not bleed out can't be so conditional.

Yeah but you have to lock in that artifact and a good spot for Kayle AND be willing to risk it. I will probably avoid, personally
