Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1QuinnKayle is a weak melee at level 1 while you own the lane with range and Harrier resets — auto-reset trade her for free.
Level 2QuinnYour W steroid plus Q blind shut off her last-hit autos before she has any range — keep her off CS.
Level 3QuinnWith Q-W-E online you E-in, blind, and stack Harrier procs to dominate a still-melee Kayle.
Levels 4-5KayleShe starts approaching her ranged-form spike — your trades narrow, so convert your lead into plates and a shove instead of forcing kills.
Level 6KayleYour R adds roam pressure, not lane burst, while Kayle's level 6 plus range form lets her kite your Harrier autos — go take over the map.
First itemKayleKayle's first-item ranged spike lets her kite behind E waveclear and out-trade you — your direct edge is gone.
Two+ itemsKayleWith R invulnerability and full ranged DPS she outscales you hard — you are squishy with no AoE, so the late belongs entirely to her.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Kayle is melee and miserable at levels 1-3 and you are one of the best laners in the game right now, so press her immediately. Land Q to blind her autos when she steps up for a last-hit, then E in to proc Harrier and walk her down with your auto-resets. Every CS she misses under tower is gold she desperately needs to reach range form, so deny it. Do not get greedy and dive into her tower — just shove and harass.
