Not all champs scale the same way. Renekton has one of the best early games (among a select few who do) an excellent midgame and a good, but not top late-game. Generally speaking, burst-damage champs like Renekton thrive better early game, and fall off into late game, while sustained damage champs (all carries and some mages) are USUALLY the opposite.

And of course, Renekton doesn't generally build much attack speed, yet is strictly AD-based (y'know...unless you're stupid), causing people to think his ideal build lends him towards being very weak in the late game....and he's not, really. AD is still effective vs towers and he can clean a lane of creeps with ruthless efficiency; unlike most burst-damage characters so he can become an "offtank-pusher" to quickly break towers.

A few champs (Karthus, Gangplank) are pretty good all game long, though they tend to lose out badly to specific counters. These tend to lean slightly towards OP, or straddle the line.
