You can find over 169 unique champions<\/strong> in the League of Legends<\/em> roster. This number of characters is extremely daunting for many new players, especially with Riot gradually adding more throughout the year.<\/p>
This gradual drip when it comes to new Rift debuts has continued through 2024 as well, so we can expect to hit the 170 mark soon. If things stay on a similar path through the ’20s, the MOBA’s ballooning roster could boast 200 unique characters by around 2029.<\/p>
For anyone new interested in jumping into League<\/em>, a good way to tackle a game with this many characters is to focus primarily on a role or two to specialize in when playing. This way, you can narrow down the number of characters you want to learn to play, and you won’t feel overwhelmed. You won’t always be able to play the role you want, which means learning to play one or two champions in the other roles could help you. Take your time with each champion, and gradually focus on others.<\/p>
