I'm looking for a champion with a "Strong" early game, but who falls off to basically worthless late game. Need me a champion who can have an average game up to 20-ish mins, then suddenly be nearly useless. Not because the enemy built against them, but because their kit is designed to SUCK late game.
Pantheon and Renekton are pretty much that. Assuming they don't leave lane with 10 kills and a tower or something.
oh definitely this. Shes not super bad late by any means. But like... Shes stupid strong early if you know how to play her properly. And she falls off like a brick off the empire state building later.
And by later I mean after lane. Unless your fed out your mind.
I pretty consistently see Akali go something like 6/0 in laning and up up 8/10.
Lee Sin falls off really hard unless he is able to kick a huge tank like Cho or Sion into the enemy back line in team fights.
Draven is pretty weak in team fights because the chaos makes catching his axes really difficult and puts him in a lot of danger for enemy CC abilities.
Shaco, Evelyn, and Elise fall off really hard late game if their enemy groups up and don't allow them to pick people off.
Nearly every assassin in the game is garbage late. I can confirm this to be true.
Just got out of an almost hour long match in which all members of my team went assassin except our ADC who picked Kaisa.
We murked the enemy team so freaking hard early on. Our Kill lead over the enemy was more than 20 at one point. Eventually, however, the enemy team scaled into the mid game and my team imploded for lack of a better word. Our top lane Rengar never died once throughout the match, but he virtually gave up oe winning and engaged in his own mini game of "how many times can I kill the enemy soraka and get away with it", spoiler alert, the Soraka ended with double digit deaths, most of which were a result of Rengar ulting her then running away.
I was playing Pyke and between the enemy Jhin reaching legendary status and the tanky Garen with a healer support on back up whenever Rengar was waiting for his ultimate to come off cooldown, I was rarely able to execute anything. Kaisa kept getting caught out, and the enemy team managed to exceed our kill count after a while with the enemy Jhin getting to legendary status.
Things were rapidly falling apart for team Assassin and I needed a plan. I noticed that we managed to take most of the enemy's turrets early and that the enemy had taken none of ours since they were preoccupied with killing us whenever they spotted us And our jungle Khazix wasn't fairing well in fights, but he managed to take four drakes plus secure dragon soul for us, baron twice, and elder once.
The enemy team was obviously not interested in objectives, taking or protecting them. Realizing this, I opted for a league of legends classic, and played hide and seek with the enemy, baiting them away from their base by making myself visible to them long enough to lure them outside of base. When I managed to get them to chase me far enough, I disappeared in their jungle and used my superior mobility to invade their base and take out an inhibitor. I repeated this process until our eventual victory.
Long story short, we should have lost and won only because of low elo players' mindset that kills matter.
You're mostly going to want to look at early game AD bruisers. Vi, Lee sin, and renekton(who actually has a 25% winrate for games that last 50 minutes)
exactly what you're looking for
also fit in, though not as extreme as pant or elise
, unless you get extra gigafed 20-25+ minutes you will get kited/cc'd for days weeks months and years and not reach your opponent, and god help you if you opposing team is dash heavy.
