In terms to Jayce? Worlds has shown that he's almost invisible lategame, especially against picks like Tank Poppy. We've seen Jayce vs Poppy lanes, even when Jayce get's ahead by 30-40-50 CS or even a kill or two, he reaches a point where his effectiveness falls like a rock into the ocean due to how his poke and overall damage can be easily blocked or absorbed by armor stacking tanks.

Olaf is the literal definition of an "arms race"...the moment he's behind on the item/level curve against the enemy ADC, he's done. It's why he get's paired up with haste-inducing champions like Sivir, Karma, etc in order to accelerate his early game snowball, since by himself, he's actually an easy champion to deal with even early game.

People seem to forget Syndra was actually designed to work as a lategame mage. Thing is her burst is so heavy at all levels, she's also potent early game. She does have a problem, just not the one you reffered to. What she needs is her power shifted to lategame and out of early game.

Elise. has two choices: you either build AP and snowball as a carry, or you build tank for utility. Lategame comes and you either get blown up as a damage carry, or you are reduced to being a stun bot. Her single target nature makes very inefficient in teamfights, short of getting a coccon on a carry.

Riven is Riven. To be honest she's too hit or miss as a champion.

"Resists and outscale strategies futile": Right, because picks like Ryze, Viktor, Cait, Cass aren't major picks at most ELO. Becaust Cait doesn't outscale almost every single ADC in game unless it's a Twitch or a Kog and can completely gun down a team lategame with Headshot crits.

You are right. early game champions don't deserve to be good lategame. They also don't deserve to be relegated to glorified minions at that stage. Which depending on the enemy comp, they still are.
