Champion

Champions are warriors reigning from the vast egions of the universe that have come to wage war on the Fields of Justice. Riot Games will develop new Champions consistently and through the Suggestion Engine the player will create new Champions right along with the developers. Each Champion is individually designed to have specific abilities and traits that players must use wisely. One group uses brute strength and power, another uses deadly precision and cunning, while the last group uses supernatural vision and magic.

There were 40 Champions released at launch, and there is one added every two weeks, with the previous new champion added to the rotation of that week. The current total of champions is 61, with about 8-10 more in development at the moment. Each week there is a rotation of ten Champions that are freely available to play. For those that bought the Collector's Edition, 20 Champions are automatically unlocked; another 20 can be unlocked by buying the Champion Bundle through the game client. The rest should be unlocked with Influence Points or Riot Points.

Champion status

 * Unlocked: This means that the champion was unlocked and can be used at any time.
 * Temporarily Available: This status is reserved for the 10 free champions of the week.
 * Unavailable: This status is accompanied by a gray square or picture of the champion, which means the champion can't be played until it is unlocked or made available for the week.
