Early game champs are not worth it in low elo

If every game is longer than 45 minutes (like it is in low elo) why is it worth it to invest in an early game just to let that 3/17 late game Vayne catch up and demolish everyone?

Whenever I see someone pick an early game lane bully that doesn't scale into late game I just automatically prepare for the LP loss. Cmon low elo people, I know you really want to try that OP pick that Faker played, but realize that the game environment in low elo is different from LCS where teams are actually coordinated and once a team gets ahead they don't let go of their lead.

Because getting a lot of kills on a lane then bringing that lead to other lanes tilts the enemy team, which at that point is almost a free win.

Almost 60% of the games where my team starts off 15/3 usually end up as losses.

Surprisingly people don't tilt in a way that makes them lose but they just start tryharding even more.

Doesnt mean low elo players do that. Which is why they are low elo.

It's the opposite lmao, there is no way you can't get fed with pantheon in low elo unless you're stupid

That's true, but the 20/0 Pantheon can only delete 1 person at a time and 40 minutes into the game he's going to stay 20/0 as people just walk by him and take out his turrets. He'll have great stats but still lose.

A late game splitpusher like Trynd/Jax/Yi is 10x better.
