Okay, so I’ve been digging into the whole history of League of Legends champion releases, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. I started by just wanting to see how many champions they’ve actually cranked out over the years, but then I got sucked into the whole timeline of it all.
First, I hit up some random websites to get a basic list. Honestly, it was kind of messy. Some had incomplete lists, others were outdated, you know how it is. But after a bit of work, I managed to piece together a pretty solid list of all the champs from the very beginning.

Then came the fun part – I wanted to see how the releases lined up with the years. So I started mapping them out, one by one. It was a bit of a grind, but I slowly built up this timeline, noting each champion and the year they dropped. It was cool to see how many they used to release in the early days compared to now. It’s definitely slowed down, which makes sense, the game’s huge now!
- 2009: This was the year it all began. They released a ton of champions this year.
- 2010-2011: Still going strong, pumping out new champs regularly.
- 2012-2014: Things start to slow down a bit, but still a decent number of releases each year.
- 2015-Present: The release schedule has become much more spaced out, with only a handful of new champions each year.
After getting all that data sorted, I decided to put it all into a simple table, just to make it easier to look at. Nothing fancy, just the champion’s name and their release year. It’s kind of satisfying to see it all laid out like that, all neat and organized.
Honestly, this whole thing took way longer than I expected. But it was actually pretty fun to see the history of the game laid out like this. It’s crazy to think about how much it’s grown since those early days. Now I’ve got this cool little record of every champion release in League of Legends. Might not be useful to everyone, but I think it’s neat, and that’s what matters, right?
