Top 5 best LATE GAME champions in the late game?

a7xEnsiferum··8 votes·134,720 views

I want to play a champ that as longs as you play safe and farm a lot, you will do insane damage later in the game, but im pretty new to LoL so i have no idea.

I know Azir is #1, but what are other good choice?

Is Viktor good late game? Is cassio a top 5?

Fiora You won't kill Fiora cause she will build tanky, and she can cut you down in seconds, and at that LATE game point she will lifesteal through everything you can throw at her with this build: item 3074 item 3072 item 3071 item 3065 item 3156 item 3143 Has to sell boots but with R ms and ms on Vital proc and BC... it won't matter,as well as randuins slow

Vladimir main here. Can confirm that when I go in with my E charge-Flash-R-E release-Q combo, 9/11 best champ. Also never dies.

Top Lane: Fiora for split push, Gangplank for AOE AD teamfighting, Vladimir for AOE AP teamfighting Mid Lane: Viktor for AoE burst plus Range and Utility, Vladimir for AoE teamfighting, burst, and tankiness at the cost of range and CC, Cassiopeia For highest Single Target DPS of any mage, Azir for AoE DPS, range, utility, and safety. Jungle: Amumu Great AoE teamfight tank, MasterYi great DPS and one of the best duelists in the game, Graves essentially an AD assassin/ADC in the Jungle. ADC:Vayne Cause it's Vayne and her late is BS,Twitch Basically Vayne but AoE autos and less mobility and more range, Sivir AoE crits, Ult is great utility late game with a spell shield so it's hard to make picks on her, Ashe Permaslow on Autos, decent range and good damage, pick potential with Ult. Support: Janna Keeps carries alive forever. Never lets them die. Alistar Great engage tank, peel tank, and tower diver. Zilean Ult is basically a free GA on a 30-40 second Cooldown. Taric AoE heals, Shields, AoE stuns, and AoE Kayle Ult. Sona Does tons of damage while healing, stunning, and amping movespeed by constantly spamming auras.

Sona is a troll pick. Over 1/3 of Sona games are lost before 20 minutes, she's a liability until her first artificial scaling item. Her full item build has a higher gold investment than most mid-laners. To top things off, her winrate takes a nose-dive after 45 minutes, because once she runs out of artificial stats to BUY, her shit scaling catches up and she becomes a liability to her team again. I could go farther in-depth, but that could be a whole thread all its own.

Point is Sona is a troll pick and her late-game fallacy of a fantasy is nothing short of exactly that. A fantasy, never a reality.

Vayne is the same ...... and if one of these 2 gets to late game game has ended

If you count stacking champs, then Veigar, Nasus

EndlessSorcerer2 votes

Nasus is rather weak late-game due to his lack of percentage penetration and susceptibility to kiting during teamfights.

He is far stronger (comparatively) in the mid-game during skirmishes before enemies have itemized percentage penetration or built defensive items.

LankPants2 votes

Veigar and Nasus are still weaker than their competitors like Ryze and Fiora. Infinite scaling is of limited use compared to just very hard scaling since the champ with infinite scaling often has other levels of jank on their kits that sets them behind a hard scaling champion.

Kayle

But I don't recommend her or any other late game champ this season. You will find that the majority of your games will end before you can hit your powerspike. Season 7 is a snowball meta where one side stomps the other and close out the game very quickly. I main Kayle, and I had a pretty easy time with her last season but this season it's horrible. I can't seem to do anything with her because games end so fast now. I just had a game where we lost an inhib at 20 minutes and it's very very common this season.

Riven, Fiora, Darius, Renekton all seem to be thriving right now because of their early power and insane snowball.

Cassiopeia isnt a late game champ. Her range is too short for team fights in late game and she just got os by the most part of champions.

Top: -Fiora lot of ms, sustain and dmg; -Jax lot of dmg and sustain + AoE stun + ignore AA; -Gangplank Insane AoE damages with barrels and ult, included QSS with oranges, crit zone

Mid: -Azir lot of range = safe + engage, disengage with ult, mobility, burst and dps, dmg on a line with soldiers; -Kassadin huge damages cause of high ratios and mobility with ult, relatively tanky with passive, AoE dmg with E, highest damages on a single target. -Vladimir tank destroyer AND squishies destroyer, tanky and deals tons of dmg, his pool is broken, AoE dmg on ult.

ADC: -Vayne tank destroyer, high burst on squishies, relative mobility for ADC, disengage with E, can chase with passive; -Twitch insane teamfights with ult and runaan, sneaky asf and easy to flank with, high range; -Tristana awesome range, great burst, her jump resets for each kill or assist, disengage with ult, AS steroid; -Kog Maw great range, AS steroid, insane teamfights;

Support: -Lulu AS steroid, insane shields and awesome peeling with ult -Alistar almost impossible to kill with his ult, good engages, lot of cc -Taric KAYLE AOE ULT O.O

Jungle: -Master Yi huge damages, high movement speed,

  • Sejuani AoE slow ult, lot of cc, tanky asf

Mention to: -Veigar not enough mobility, no AoE abilities except W which is easy to dodge -Nasus can be easily kited, and cant os an adc even with a 800 stacks flash Q spell -Yasuo too much ult dependant, no range

  • Draven huge single target damages but teamfights sucks with. -Caitlyn too much nerfed -Tryndamere too much vulnerable to CC -Orianna no mobility and too much ult dependent for teamfights -Kennen ult dependent -Velkoz vulnerable when he ults

Taric

Taric has 72% win rate in games lasting 50 minutes. As far as I know, no one else comes even close to that. When games come down to a single fight and everyone is full build, there is no champion better than Taric. Making his entire team invincible for 2.5 seconds in super late game team fights basically makes it impossible to lose and after the fight is over, as long as Taric and one damage dealer is alive, you can close the game without minions. Taric can tank towers indefinitely with full build as long as he has mana. I have quite a few games on Taric that I have won with over a 7k gold and 15 kill deficit because of his ability to tank anything he wants late game.

Looking at some of the other champions mentioned at 50 minutes:

Vayne 59% Vladimir 57% Nasus 44% Veigar 58% Fiora 52% Jinx 53% Azir 53% Twitch 56% Yasuo 52% Karthus 42% Cassiopeia 43%

Top lane: Gangplank Jax Mid lane: Karthus Vladimir Bot lane: pretty much any adc, it's their job to farm early and scale hard. Twitch KogMaw scale the hardest right now i guess. Kalista Vayne scale hard too, but if you're pretty new don't touch them.

Twiglike1 votes

Kalista is a monster but she doesn't scale well anymore. She used to back when. Now she scales more like an Ezreal, they shine brightest in the mid game.

Jackom11 votes

5 months ago I'm pretty sure she had one of the best late games, as well as having a good mid game. I thought she had strong late game now as well, which is why she's getting nerfed next patch.

Maybe I could Tristana right now, though it's more for her range and self-peeling rather than damage.

TaroFruit1 votes

ermm in my opinion there aare all good ones Gangplank Twitch Yasuo Vayne MasterYi Jinx Camille Cassiopeia Chogath Annie Talon Vayne

definitly not udyr tho hes good early game

Sanguis Dominus1 votes

Twitch Godly with ult shred Tristana way too safe to easily kill, with q steroid has huge dps KogMaw W allows him to just eat you alive while staying 800 units away Ryze Cassiopeia both have huge dps lategame, Ryze is tankier, but cassio outputs more damage Kassadin Dear God the one shots. Kassidan has a 70% ap scaling on all abilities, and a huge nuke with a lich bane W. Azir Never gets to late game but he's amazing if he does Rengar THIS NEEDS TO STOP, with dark harvest stacked you literally only have to click once on an adc Talon OOF (sorry I wanted to put oof. Compared to other assasins like zed Talon has good scaling, but most importantly, an easy escape route, Zed has to take shadows and those can be covered, Talon just parkours away. Also Talon is easier.) Jax ultra late he can split and just take every turret, to safe to kill singly Jinx If you get the reset she skyrockets, especially with lethal tempo exceeding AS limit Vayne A good Vayne will crush late game, a bad one will die to their team instantly. Gangplank Late game you can be full crit and ignore like 80% of armor with barrels MasterYi a good team will shut him down with CC bit late he will eat you Fiora great splitpush and dueling potential Vladimir go read the posts up there^ Yasuo near permanent armor ignore with ult Trundle you can either group Andrew tank for your team, or splitpush with a item 3077 item (go ravenous if fed, titanic any other time) Clarifications Nasus gets kites too hard and has no % health in his kit

Elycian1 votes

If you just farm for the late game your bot lane will be 10/0 or 0/10 15 minutes in and it wont matter how well did you farm, you'll get carried by bot lane or enemy bot lane will go mid and destroy you. My list anyway: Anivia Cassiopeia Fiora Gangplank Jinx Karthus KogMaw Nasus Swain Tryndamere Twitch Vayne Veigar Vladimir Yasuo ZoeRyze Kayle

Milky Cereal1 votes

How is chogath not mentioned?

KarlSpaccaossa1 votes

If ur loocking to rely on safe gamplay farming and not getting killed then u probably wanna look at ADC rather than midlane (midlane still has some good picks). More specifically kog maw, twitch, vayne and jinx are the best late game adcs imo. A well played vayne is probably the strongest one of the bunch (kog is also very strong but it relys on a good support much more than vayne as he has no escapes/self-peel he only has damage a shit tone of it though) Midlane I would look into veigar, azir or vlad Top Gp, fiora or nasuss

Keep in mind that a good opponent in lane will punish u for taking such late-game oriented champions, expecially if he gets to counter-pick you. Laning as a veigar against a katarina is never fun.

Shes like a better vayne with the caveat of needing to be AP

Olifyne1 votes

i think in general all adc s are good in late game, some are better some are worst, vayne kog jinx and trist are the ultimate hyper carrys in late game. melee late game champs are like gp, we can say Yasuo, bruiser riven, fiora, nasus, and maybe yi.

Ealeksandr201 votes

Currently of 9/16/18 Kai'saKaisa is number 1. Her abilities scale with items. So at full build she can do (from my testing) 3k damage with a 4AA W and then Q. Heres my builditem 3115 item 3153 item 3089 item 3124 item 3085 item 3006 Oritem 3050
