Late is short for late game, the advanced stage of a match. Champions have more levels and completed items, death timers are longer and one fight can decide the result.
When does late game begin?
There is no fixed minute. Item completion, champion levels, Baron, Dragon Soul and the pace of the game matter. A fast match may end before a true late game.
What is scaling?
Scaling describes how a champion gains power from levels, items and ability ratios. A strong late-game champion is not guaranteed to win; the player still needs farm, positioning and a workable team comp.
Late-game priorities
Avoid getting caught in fog, plan resets before Baron or Elder, respect long death timers and protect the team’s win condition.
