Reckoning is a point-and-click nuke that also applies a large slow and an armour shred, so she wins the lane at range and Intervention makes her ungankable.

Into assassin mids. Intervention on herself at the moment they commit turns their engage into a free kill for her jungler.
Into ranged poke. Kayle has no mobility at all, and Reckoning's range is shorter than every mage's primary ability in the mode.
Wit's End: steals 5 MR per hit, 5 stacks Not modelled in this number: Summoner's Insight, Meditation, Mastermind.
