Mid/Late Game

The Mid/Late game in League of Legends is a critical phase where teams transition from the laning phase to team fights and objective control. During this stage, champions have often completed their core items, and the focus shifts towards strategic positioning, vision control, and coordinated team plays.

Teams should prioritize vision around important objectives like Baron Nashor and Dragon. Properly timed and executed team fights become essential in securing these objectives and gaining an advantage over the opponent. Mid/Late game also involves split pushing, where certain champions excel at pressuring side lanes while the rest of the team applies pressure elsewhere on the map.

In the Mid/Late game, Baron Nashor and Dragons become pivotal objectives. Baron Nashor provides the Hand of Baron buff, granting bonus attack damage, ability power, Empowered Recall, and a powerful aura for 180 seconds. This buff enhances team strength, especially in pushing with empowered minions. Dragons, excluding Elder Dragon, have two effects: a passive effect that stacks with kills and a "Soul" effect obtained after the team's 4th dragon kill. The third dragon spawns and alters the map.
