Is scaling happening too fast?

Am I the only one who feels like champions with strong late games are getting their power spikes too early?

I just played a game as leblanc vs yasuo, and he left the laning phase at 1/4 with me beating him in every way, including having his turret. Long story short, 15 minutes later he's getting quadra kills and ending the game at 12/9.

I've just noticed in general "Late game carries" are what's meta right now, with Vayne, Kaisa, Jinx, all being extremely relevant (at least in low plat/gold).

The window to win on early game champions feels very small, at least compared to previous seasons. I'm not saying we should go back to 50 minute games, but these games are decided so quickly, and it usually boils down to whichever team scales better wins.

ADC items are getting changed (currently on PBE) to help push their powerspikes back which should help a lot.

It looks more like your team just threw really hard. Late game champs will spike back up if given the opportunity, so you have to keep them down.

Don't feel like digging through all the stats, but 15 minutes into the game you're 700g up on Yasuo. 3 minutes later, he was 300g up on you. Clearly something happened to give them the advantage.
