Scaling items
I think I have an extra chromie cause I have no idea how to tell if an item/champ scales. Does anyone have any advice on how to figure out how base champs/items are best early/mid/late?

- Look at item stats and synergy
- Look at champ base stats, scaling and base stats on abilities, and do some math with their typical builds to see their damage and durability at different points in the game.
Ex: one crit item? Not that great. 2+ crit items? Much higher chance to crit and thus more scaling the more you get - to a certain point. %hp damage - scales with enemies as their hp scales by leveling up and/or items they buy. %dmg reduction - scales in similar but reverse fashion of %hp damage - like the anti-damage equivalent of %hp damage items
Ex: renekton abilities scale off bonus ad mostly - so if you go full ad, you do a crap ton of damage. However, you are also super squishy. Mostly it's cleaver plus maybe 1 other ad item into tank. Thus he doesn't make much use of his ad scaling on his abilities and falls off late game. Compare to riven - maybe lower base damage on abilities, but usually builds tons of ad. Abilities all scale off ad, thus becomes stronger late game as she builds more ad.
