League of Legends was initially intended to ship with 20 champions, but Riot Games, the developer of the MOBA, ended up doubling that number leading up to the game’s full release in North America on Oct. 27, 2009.
As of June 2022—over 10 years later—that number has quadrupled, growing to a mighty 160 champions. The latest on the ever-growing list of champions is Bel’Veth, who the devs describe as a “terrifying empress born from the combined memories, experiences, and emotions of an entire devoured port city and its outlying ocean.”
Here’s the full list of champions in League of Legends, along with their release dates.
