champions but eventually doubled that number leading up to launch day on Oct. 27, 2009. Now, 15 years later, there are 169 playable characters in the game. Ambessa is the newest member of the League family, having arrived in late 2024 after the premiere of Arcane season two. Before her, the witch between worlds, Aurora, went live in July and has been causing chaos ever since. She was preceded by Smolder the Fiery Fledgling (champ 167) and Hwei the Visionary (166), released in February 2024 and December 2023, respectively. Smolder is a cute little dragon with an attitude, while Hwei stands out among the epic pile of League characters because he can cast as many as 10 different spells. When I first played League in season one, I never imagined the champion roster would reach 100, let alone 169 (I was a Poppy one-trick pony, by the way). This just goes to show the longevity of the game throughout the years. Despite its ups and downs, it's still going strong over a decade later, bringing in millions of players every month. These are all the League champions and their release dates.

champions but eventually doubled that number leading up to launch day on Oct. 27, 2009. Now, 15 years later, there are 169 playable characters in the game. Ambessa is the newest member of the League family, having arrived in late 2024 after the premiere of Arcane season two. Before her, the witch between worlds, Aurora, went live in July and has been causing chaos ever since. She was preceded by Smolder the Fiery Fledgling (champ 167) and Hwei the Visionary (166), released in February 2024 and December 2023, respectively. Smolder is a cute little dragon with an attitude, while Hwei stands out among the epic pile of League characters because he can cast as many as 10 different spells. When I first played League in season one, I never imagined the champion roster would reach 100, let alone 169 (I was a Poppy one-trick pony, by the way). This just goes to show the longevity of the game throughout the years. Despite its ups and downs, it's still going strong over a decade later, bringing in millions of players every month. These are all the League champions and their release dates.

When I first played League <\/em>in season one, I never imagined the champion roster would reach 100, let alone 169<\/a> (I was a Poppy one-trick pony, by the way). This just goes to show the longevity of the game throughout the years. Despite its ups and downs, it’s still going strong over a decade later, bringing in millions of players every month<\/a>.<\/p>

These are all the League<\/a> <\/em>champions and their release dates<\/strong>.<\/p>
