How to play it

Bait her Q
into the minion wave instead of taking it: eating it yourself pushes the wave into you and lets her keep poking freely.
All-in window
If she whiffs her Q and her W is down, you can go for the all-in: her E deals no damage in that window.
Check her runes
Stormraider's Surge is far scarier near her tower: she can run you down before you get away, so be aware of it.
Never let her poke you down for free: always bait her Q into a minion, or the wave keeps crashing into you.

Kayle vs Cassiopeia in Top lane is a lane to avoid on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: her Q poke pushes the wave onto you, bait it into a minion instead of eating it yourself.
