A hypercarry is a champion that becomes exceptionally powerful in the late stages of the game due to extraordinary stat growth and item dependence. These champions typically have weaker early and Mid game phases, but once they acquire enough items and levels, they can overwhelm opponents with unmatched damage output. Hypercarries often define win conditions for their teams, as proper protection and time to scale allow them to dominate fights.
Common hypercarries rely on high attack speed, crit scaling, or strong AP ratios that cause their damage to spike dramatically with each completed item. Because hypercarries are fragile and vulnerable to early pressure, teammates must help them survive long enough to reach their full potential. Once fully geared, a hypercarry can take over entire Teamfights, shred structures during a Siege, and single handedly shift the momentum of the match.
