Ah, let me tell ya, back in the day, when this game first came out, there wasn’t much to it. They had just a few characters, or “champions” as they call ’em, and it wasn’t all that fancy. But my goodness, look at it now! Back in 2009 when League of Legends first started, they only had 20 champions, and now, well, it’s 2024 and they got 169 of ’em. It sure has grown over the years, just like a little seed turning into a big ol’ tree.

The latest one, as of July 17, 2024, is called Aurora, and I hear she’s some sort of witch or somethin’. Sounds like a magical type of gal, don’t it? They keep bringin’ out new champions all the time, and folks get excited like they got a new tool in their shed. The next one, they’re callin’ Ambessa, might be a real powerhouse, who knows? It’s like every few months, there’s somethin’ new for folks to try out.
Now, let me take ya back to the start of this whole thing, back when we didn’t know much about these champions, or where it was all headed. They started out with just 20 champions in 2009. And let me tell ya, you couldn’t blink or you’d miss the whole game, it was that simple. But over time, they’ve added more and more of these characters, each one different, with their own special moves and ways of playin’. By 2011, they added Ahri, a fox spirit, I think. She was a real crowd favorite. Then, in 2013, Aatrox came along, and folks were talkin’ about him for days.
It’s crazy, ain’t it? The game just keeps growin’ and growin’, and they ain’t slowin’ down one bit. By 2020, we saw a lotta new faces—Sett, Lillia, Yone, and Samira, all joined the fray, each with their own powers and strengths. 2022 was a big year too, with 9 new champions, just like how the seasons change and bring new things to the table.
But you know, it’s not just the champions that make the game special, it’s the whole experience. Each champion brings somethin’ new to the battlefield. Some are for attackin’, some for defendin’, and some just like to mess things up for everyone. It’s like a big ol’ potluck dinner, where everyone brings their best dish, and you gotta figure out how to work together.
Every time they release a new champion, it’s like the whole community gets a fresh start. People start figurin’ out how to play with the new ones, what works, what don’t, and before you know it, that champion’s everywhere. Some folks even get to be real good with their new champion, learnin’ all the ins and outs, and that’s when they really start showin’ off. There’s guides, builds, runes—so many things to learn, you’d think it’s like school! But don’t you worry, you don’t need to be no expert. Just dive in and have fun.
It ain’t just about how good you are, it’s about learnin’ new things and workin’ together with your team. The game changes over time, just like the seasons change, and every new champion brings somethin’ special to the game. Who knows, maybe one day there’ll be a hundred more champions to choose from. But for now, we just gotta keep up with the ones they’re bringin’ out now.
Here’s a quick rundown of some key champions and when they came out:
- Aatrox – June 13, 2013
- Ahri – Dec. 14, 2011
- Akali – May 11, 2010
- Akshan – July 21, 2021
- Sett – Jan. 14, 2020
- Lillia – July 22, 2020
- Yone – Aug. 6, 2020
- Samira – Sept. 21, 2020
So, if you’re just gettin’ started, don’t be shy. Jump in there and try a few champions. You might find one that fits you just right. Maybe you’ll like the magic of Ahri, or the big power of Sett. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, League of Legends ain’t goin’ nowhere, and these champions ain’t stoppin’ anytime soon!
