There's no such thing as a melee hyper carry anymore

They've all become cheesey split pushers because they rely heavily on single target damage and they'll never ever feasibly be on par with ranged ADCs consistent and safer dps where as aoe bruisers like and have much better teamfights because they're able to stand in the middle of teams and aoe everything. Tanks also have better teamfights naturally.

Melee champions who were once considered hyper carries like are easily peeled, die too fast or are too kitable. It's better to just split push because you can never teamfight consistently well with these champions unless snowballing early.

The only "melee" carries that can function decently in teamfights are and because both of them have cheesey gimmicks that reward them for winning their "mini games." And even then, they've elected to both build bruiser now or in the past because building full damage just means you'll blow up on contact.

So please, I hate the term hyper carry in general in league because if we go based on its original and true definition, there isn't such thing anymore. But if we go based on the new league definition of hyper carry, none of these melee champions are hyper carries anymore. Season 2, maybe even season 3, sure, they probably were. But they aren't hyper carries anymore. Too much cc, too many slows, too much damage (supports like and can fucking solo kill solo laners for crying out loud), too much mobility especially on ranged champions, and not enough in itemization to help these champions deal with it because tenacity sucks and displacements are too plentiful.

So let us have a moment of silence for our fallen "hyper carries" as they join Harambe in the great beyond
