LoL Champion Count: How many champions are there in League?

Explore the vast world of League of Legends champions, from the current roster size to recent additions and role classifications.

League of Legends (LoL) has come a long way since its launch, evolving into one of the most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games worldwide. A key factor in its enduring success is the continuous expansion of its champion roster, offering players a diverse array of characters to master and enjoy.

How many League of Legends champions are there?

As of the latest update, League of Legends boasts an impressive 168 champions. This extensive roster has grown significantly from the initial 40 champions available at the game’s launch. Riot Games, the developer behind LoL, has consistently added new characters to keep the game fresh and exciting for its massive player base.

The LoL champion pool continues to expand, with several new characters joining the fray in recent months:

1. Aurora: The Witch Between Worlds (July 2024)
2. Smolder: The Fiery Fledgling (January 2024)
3. Hwei: The Visionary (December 2023)

These new additions bring unique abilities and playstyles to the game, further diversifying the strategic options available to players.

Riot Games has adjusted its champion release schedule over the years. While the early days of LoL saw frequent character additions, the current approach is more measured. Players can expect approximately five to six new champions each year. This pace allows for better balance and integration of new characters into the existing roster.
