My understanding is that a hyper carry must at least do two of the three things.

Melt the defenses of the opponent or circumvent it with true damage.

respond so well to critical damage and base damage that without spells the auto attack deals incredible chunks of damage.

The time it takes to kill a single target is extremely small due to the previous or a really high AS with any of the above mentioned attributes.

I've always been told Kog'maw, Twitch, Vayne, Tristana. I guess you can say she doesn't have that paticular hyper carry status anymore but now she's a good lategame sweeper which is what a Hyper Carry does but any marksman can sweep given the right pre requisites that go down in a teamfight. Like say Jinx. The first assist or kill goes off and her passive triggers where she flies across the field taking out the squishies who can't outrun her. Tristana on a simliar level jumps around and once the assists and kills go off she can escape or chase just about anyone with her jumps.

I should look for some sort of semi offcial definition of the word. Probably on this wiki...
