I mean, that's true. If the hyper-carries aren't actually weak early, that's a different thing, though, imo. Long games are not going to favor lane-bullies unless the lane-bullies scale comparatively to the hyper-carries.

If it's a true lane-bully vs. a true hyper-carry, your best bet is to win quickly. Once laning phase is over, the lane bully can't keep the same pressure on the hyper-carry. The longer the game is, the more likely they will come back from a bad laning phase.

And that's also not to say the lane-bully just falls off, the hyper-carry is just has a more powerful kit and (should) have enough sheer power to out-do a lane-bully if they aren't outplayed. For example still has a powerful crit build and is still a powerful ADC late game. What's pissing off the player-base which is approx 85% below platinum, is the fact that a hyper-carry can get and just bulldozer a teamfight and snowball like mad. People like to see longer games because it just opens up more possibilities for picks and builds and isn't a set in stone "If you build this 1 item on this champion, you'll out-damage everyone."
