User blog comment:Sifter66/What makes a late-game champion?/@comment-26417802-20150603173734

IMO late game champions are defined by a few factors :

-Very high ratios (Malz)

-A mix of sutain for apc (Swain ; Vlad), utility (Udyr, Jax), and damage (all of them)

-The need to farm (Nasus; Sion; Veigar)

-A mix of burst and sustained damage (I REALLY love Udyr and jax)

-AND MOST OF ALL A AMAZING TEAMFIGHT KIT ! Jax can stun a whole team, Udyr does, Vlad AoE busts them, Swain engages then zhonia, Sion CC everyone, Gnar too etc...)

Another factor could be the devourer : in late game you can have 50-150 stacks, you are a monster ! This is why Udyr (and jungle Jax).

I think I said everything I know... GL HF
