A Champion is a warrior reigning from the vast regions of the universe that has come to wage war in the Fields of Justice. Riot Games develops new champions for League of Legends, and each champion is individually designed to have unique abilities and traits that a player must use wisely. Some Champions use brute strength and power, others use deadly and cunning precision, while others still use supernatural vision and magic.

There were 40 champions released at launch, and there is one added approximately every two weeks. About 8-10 champions are in development at any moment. Each week there is a rotation of ten champions that are available to play for free. 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. All champions, however, can be unlocked with Influence Points or Riot Points at the Riot Store ingame.
