Late Game Scaling enables

  • Bonus Attack Speed makes a unit attack more often per second, which means more auto-attack damage and faster mana generation toward the next ability cast. Some carries scale beyond that — their ability itself fires more hits when they have more Attack Speed (e.g., Bel'Veth's slash count, Jinx's rocket count). Stacking AS items and traits on these units compounds: faster autos, faster casts, and bigger casts.

  • The player-side progression resource. Spending gold on XP buys it; each level raises the team-size cap and shifts shop odds toward higher-cost champions. Augments grant XP directly or trigger off "level up" to accelerate the curve.

  • Grants the unit additional maximum HP, either flat (like +150 Health) or percentage (like +6% max Health). It comes up whenever you stack Giant's Belt items, pick health-boost augments such as Yasuo's Golden Hex or Giant and Mighty, or play Cho'Gath, whose cast permanently raises his own max Health every time he eats an enemy. For the cross-round permanent stat-stacks angle specifically, see the dedicated permanent stat-stacks page.
