How to play it

Respect her E burst
Look at her keystone at the start: if she's on Press the Attack her auto-auto-E chunks hard, and on Lethal Tempo she wins longer trades thanks to her attack-speed passive.
Snowball early
Before she scales she's an immobile 4-grave target: pressure her hard and look to solo-kill, because she becomes an absolute monster if you let her grow.
Wait out her W
Go for the standard 4-grave setup, but if she W's herself for the movement speed, wait for that buff to end before you engage.
Never let the game drag out: Kayle scales into an absolute monster, so you must pressure and solo-kill her while she's still an immobile early-game target.
