Does Locke scale?
No. Locke gets actively worse as the game goes on.
Provisional. First-patch late data is terrible, and his kit asks him to teleport or dash into range before landing execute-oriented damage. Since he only released in Patch 26.13, he stays out of F until the learning curve and tuning settle.
The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches.
