Maybe mention some champions? :p

I can't really think of champions with strong early/late games and bad mid games.

Caitlyn for sure. And I never really thought Jax had a weak mid-game but once someone mentioned it to me I can't get over it, and I'm starting to notice it.

Get a Nunu to support you and just farm your *** off. If you can get an IE before 20 minutes, your mid game won't seem that weak, as long as you have a Nunu buffing you.

Cait?

Cait's like, insanely strong mid game.

She's stronger than most late game too.

Jax has a mid game problem because you're not building him right, needs earlier GA imo.

Lol no. Caitlyn has a poor mid game because her AA damage is awful with no items and her skills fall off pretty hard by the time teamfights begin. She is strong early and becomes strong again once she finishes IE + PD, but her mid game is very weak - unless of course you're able to abuse your early game and get fed, which is basically just skipping past mid game entirely.

An example of a champion with a similar power curve would be Tristana.

Early game is laning phase, Mid game is that skirmishy phase between 25-35 minutes, and whenever you're getting into hardcore teamfights it's late game.

Like, Cait is really strong directly after laning phase, where you should ALREADY HAVE PD+IE.

Trist is also strong then.

Maybe because you're playing jax, and you don't die when you make the AD carry's life ****.

What? I don't even...

What kind of games are you playing in where laning lasts until 25 minutes and you have IE + PD? That almost never happens. I can only remember playing one game where laning phase lasted that long. The instant any tower on the map drops, it's mid game.

35 minutes is about the time that most games end. Often the game is decided long before that.
