Why do some champions have numbers exceeding 125 when you use their icons on the boards?

Thresh is champion 412 Velkoz is champion 161 Does this have something to do with when they were first designed or is there another reason for champion icon numbers exceeding the number of champions that exist?

Champion ID numbers can be a lot higher than the total number of champions released because a lot of IDs have been used for experimental prototypes that never got fully developed.

At times we'll also go and clear out those old ideas, which can free up lower numbers to be used again if desired. I'd imagine that's why Vel'koz has a much lower champ ID than Thresh for example, despite coming out later.

Can you please show everyoen all these trashed proto-types and such? That would be really interesting to read through and i don't think it owuld impact your profits negatively

They wouldn't do that because then they'd end up with another "rioooottt plzzzzzzzzz release Omen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" situation

We're already waiting for Ao Shin which will probably be canceled at this rate

All games have cut content and things like that, websites such as Cutting Room Floor. I don't see very much of this for LoL and it would be great if Riot could open up a bit and let us see some of that stuff.

Like sports jerseys can be. summoner 32
