Games are ending before late game champs can scale

Then what would be the point of picking an early game champ if you can't end early?

Most late game champions also have very strong midgames. Generally they farm up to their 1-2 item powerspike and then take over the game.

With >300 stacks and a sheen item

With and

after

The advantage of playing one is even after you hit your powerspikes you only get stronger.

no thanks

late game champs are most of the worst designs

That's kind of the point. There's a reason people play a lot of early-mid game champions in LCK and LCS.

Agreed. I miss my Jinx/Vayne/Trist.

That's not really true. The way the game paces, scaling is simply accelerated. The only disadvantage late game scalers have is that it's become harder for them to make a comeback when behind than it is for your less than stellar scaling or average scaling champions. But that's always been the way to beat late game scalers, so nothing has really changed. Just the speed in which games pace.

Besides, certain "late game" champions are much more terrifying in the mid game than they are the late game if they get their items quickly.

yea like vayne. kappa.

Good thing, because lategame shouldn't come for free. It's a reward that has to be worked in order to obtain.

I mostly get games where i can get 5+ items. I think it might be that you're climbing to higher elo, and there games end quicker.

Just a thought though.

Not true at all

Happened to play a protect the kog'maw comp the other day.

A traditionally late game tactic, took 33 minutes for us to win. Granted i was 25/1 on kog, but i was still only at and a BF sword.

late game has become uninteresting tbh. Supposedly lategame champions like are just absolute trash against a teamfight oriented comp, everyone destroys everyone in milliseconds, tanks get melted to oblivion...

Sadly, most of late game scaling champions are pretty good early too ( ) while they were supposed to be very weak early.

Thats why they are currently broken
