Hey Riot, Now That There Are 124 Champions...

Would you consider increasing the number of champions available in free champion rotation?

I started playing League when there were 97 champions (when Darius was added ). 10 champions on rotation was about 10% of the pool. Would you consider increasing the number of champs to 12? That would be about 10% of the current champion pool.

This wouldn't affect me, as I cannot remember the last time I've played as a free to play champion. However, I think it would be beneficial to newer players who have yet to determine which champions they like and cannot yet afford multiple 6300 IP champs.

This actually wasn't a "give us more bans" thread. +1

It takes roughly 6 months for every champ to have a turn (judging based on Vladimir has gone the longest since last being free, and that was 10/20 of last year). 6300 champs go on sale roughly once every 3 months. 3150 and 1350 champs go on sale roughly once every 5 months.

As someone hoping to pick up certain 3150/4800/6300 champs when they go on sale, I hope I get the chance to try them out during a free week before spending RP. So I would appreciate it if champs cycled through the free rotation more quickly.

I just wish they were more strict with who's on the rotation, ten champs that are free one week shouldn't be free again until everyone else has been imo.

I clicked yes, but I dont know. I think it would be helpful for newer players to have more to choose but sometimes more to choose can be an overload. I think 12 is fair tho, and being someone who doesnt have all champs yet it would help out people like me more.

just recently I've played mao kai and mundo from free rotations and I think i'm gonna add them to my arsenal, so having more free to plays gives people like me who have a decent amount of champs a greater opportunity to try and expand in any given week.

I think this would be a fair addition. Makes sense considering how many champions there are now.

I own all the champs and would still like to see this happen. Give folks who don't have them a chance to try them out before they buy them but only if they remove free champions from ranked games.

pool should be like 20-30 champions and the time to play them should be 4-5 days so that you can constantly rotate the entire roster multiple times a month or something.

Really let new players go wild. But hey thats me.

Don't they vary how many champions are on the rotation based on how expensive they are? Some weeks I swear there are more than other weeks

or you could just buy them all lol i did

I am all in with this because there is just not enough you know since there is no way to test them or anything.

The only thing I have to say against this is that the rotation is designed so that every week has two people for each role (mid, top, jungle, ADC, support) and 12 champs would throw this off. But you could just get two "miscellaneous" champs I guess.

Also, I would worry a tad about overload. Back when I was starting out 10 champions was a lot - I don't think I've ever used a full rotation. But being honest my first week was spent tunnel visioning on Lissandra so I imagine I'm not the best judge.

Just realized I forgot a "d" at the end of increase...that's going to bug me

I thought i was gonna see another "INCREASE THE BANS PLZ RIOT" thread lol. But it was actually something different!... Doesn't effect me though as I own all champs, but I guess it would be nice for others to be able to try a wider range of Free Champs.

another good idea ignored for the sake of red responses in some meme thread or skin concept
