Fairly viable champions not prefer poppy or other urgot or teemo or any trolly stuff.

Irelia Tryndamere Trundle

Death by KaynMar 20, 20151 votes

Ehhh, Irelia doesn't scale well. Not only that but she has an upcoming nerf, so I would avoid her. I agree with the other two, but tryndamere oftentimes gets punished so hard either early or late that his scaling stops being relevant. Don't get me wrong, Irelia is INSANELY strong, but Ton specifically asked for champs that scale well, and Irelia simply doesn't fill that niche.

@@ Irelia doesn't scale well? Dude her late game potential is crazy man.

Death by KaynMar 20, 20151 votes

It is, but that doesn't have to do with scaling. That has to do with just how much damage and CC she can soak up whilst still being one of the most slippery lategame tanks in the game :D

FHMarshyMar 20, 20151 votes

Exactly the same way Jax is?

Death by KaynMar 20, 20151 votes

No, as Jax scales well on what he builds because of his ult, whilst Irelia has an incredibly weak scaling off of an AD (or even AP) build.

FHMarshyMar 20, 20151 votes

You are not supposed to focus damage build on irelia.....

Death by KaynMar 20, 20151 votes

I know. She doesn't scale off of it. That is literally the point of this whole post- who scales well

FHMarshyMar 20, 20152 votes

Both Jax and Irelia are item based. Irelia "scales well" with items the same way Jax does. By being tanky while dishing our damage.

Death by KaynMar 20, 20151 votes

Alright good sir. You do have a valid point, yet I disagree with it. But our differing opinions don't make much of a difference. For the OP's sake, if he enjoys Irelia, by all means, play her! Thanks for this entertaining "joust" :)

FHMarshyMar 20, 20151 votes

:) indeed it was entertaining :)

Irelia has mediocre AD scaling, but VERY good Attack Speed/ on hit scaling. Between Tri Force and Hiten Style, she does a LOT of single target damage. If you build a BotRK on her, her single target DPS is HUGE.

PatMcGroynMar 20, 20151 votes

The tenacity definitely helps, but what's really impressive about Irelia is her single target damage with only 1-2 damage items. She definitely scales well.

Shyv and Trundle both scale and push extremely fast while being a threat in lategame teamfights (I assume this is the type of champ you are looking for). Rengar and Volibear may be a little unorthodox but they scale great too. Hope this helps :)

How does Trundle push fast? He's mostly single-target auto-attacks.

Haven't played him in awhile, this comment just has me curious.

Death by KaynMar 20, 20151 votes

Normally I purchase a ravenous on him, to easily push the minions. Once you get to the tower, you just lay down your w and start smacking away. Not only that, but Q does apply to towers, and will still buff your AD. Not only that, but you can put up your pillar of ice to slow enemy laners/minions trying to get to you. Totally understand why you were curious, it's not very obvious until you get into game playing him top :)

Trundle is an amazing splitpusher. Very difficult to 1v1, and he shreds through towers.

Ser GarlandMar 21, 20151 votes

He said no trolly stuff. So Trund's a no.

PubgamerAUMar 20, 20152 votes

I don't think anyone else scales on the level of jax/nasus. Jax is a hypercarry and Nasus doesn't stop scaling.

Um.

Poppy IS viable.

and DOES scale well.

Do not ask us who scales well if you don't want us to answer.

Poppy actually scales harder than Jax.

Poppy

PatMcGroynMar 20, 20151 votes

True, Poppy's scaling is actually insane.

Who other than Nasus and maybe Jax scales well top lane?

Pretty much every Fighter/Assassin scales really well into late-game, and most fighters are seen as top lane champions. Any mage you'd send top usually scales pretty well late as well. And marksman pretty much always scale well into late, so any marksman you can get working top usually has a solid end-game - which is mainly Jayce and Quinn, though against slow enough top-lane picks you can get champions like Vayne and Draven and Kalista to work.

Generally speaking the top-lane picks that don't scale that well late are the fighter/tanks, as defense just kind of putters out during late-game when the glass cannons get %penetrations. Most fighter/tanks are crazy powerful mid-game champions though and quite capable of finishing a game before late-game happens if they get a lead - they just don't spike late game.

Trundle, Vladimir, Tryndamere, Ryze, Sion, Shyvana, Singed are all pretty good lategame..Irelia actually falls off but she is great in midgame

MasterYi Shyvana Irelia Fiora Tryndamere wut wrong with poppy she's like jax level late

SirsirMar 20, 20151 votes

Without Jax's safety early. Most players get shut down so hard when they try Poppy they never get to her late game fantasy.

SirsirMar 20, 20151 votes

Shyvana. Insane scaling, strong waveclear with W/Sunfire (and maybe Hydra if you build it) and Q does a number on towers if you build any CDR. She doesn't do the damage they do but shes a lot harder to kill than Jax and much more mobile than Nasus. Only trouble is you need to build her to stick to her targets.

Ulric GreatswordMar 20, 20151 votes

Vladimir It doesn't matter how badly you get shut down early game; if you can survive until lategame, you will be nearly unstoppable. Sion High damage, High utility, and an ult that lets you engage hard or escape from a failed splitpush.
