You know who actually is a late game monster that people wouldn't expect to be? Mordekaiser. Champ has a ~52/53% WR in 35+ min games. It goes up all the way there too.

I mean in silver players had enough brain power to CC me when I just ran in and Q first. Iron and bronze were before my OtPing of yi so I got through those ranks by like voli jungle

Yea silver is where I'd expect you to start having to use your brain a bit
