Which champions are strong when?

This is leaning towards a more advanced concept called “power spikes”, which if you’re a League player, you may be familiar with.

In a nutshell, it means that most pieces have a point in time where they are designed to be strongest, and times where they’re expected to not be good or fall off.

In general, attack speed is better early game, and raw burst is better later game. Single target abilities are better early game, AoE abilities are better late game.

I’ll give two examples. In the early game, Kha’Zix is a beast – since there are less pieces on the board, he’s able to get isolated targets more often. As the game goes on, however, teams get bigger so conditions get worse for him.

Another example is Vayne – she is incredibly strong in the early to mid game with an attack speed item since she can melt through single targets. You eventually have to replace her, however, as she gets outclassed in the late game by champions that can blow up multiple enemies at once, such as Aurelion Sol.
