User blog:Krufix/Late game Vs Early game releases.

So far no good lategame champions have been released for quite a while now.

Rengar: Bruiser/assassin. Diana: Bruiser/mage/assassin. Zyra: Mid game mage. Jayce: Bruiser Draven: An AD carry, but rather early game focused compared to other AD carries. Darius: Bruiser Varus: Late game AD carry. (An exception to this pattern.) Hecarim: Bruiser jungler. Lulu: Support, primarily for the laning phase/Mid game mage.

And then you get back into the late game champions. Carry Fiora, good throughout the game Nautilus and low cooldown spammy Ziggs.

It's been 3 months now since Varus. Does the meta call for more powerful late game champions like Tristana/Nasus/Karthus and such?

Generally mages are mid game burst oriented, assassins like jumping out and killing people during the laning phase, and bruisers are literally to shut down the enemy bruiser, so the one which becomes stronger early game usually wins.

However there are plausible exceptions: Karthus, Veigar, Ziggs and Cassiopeia are rather good late game mages because of ether low cooldown spam or infinite potential like Veigar. And Kayle can transfer from a bruiser into a carry late game.
