Right now there are 136 champions in LoL

How many champions do you think the game can have and still be unique ???

Right now these things can be adjusted to make campions: -Movement speed -AP -AD -DPS -HP -Regen -Stunns -Slow -Speed up -AOE -Shield -Heal -Movement speed

There are probably many more variables, but if i forced you to name a number of unique champions how many do you think the game can handle to still be unique ???

yea minus rakan/xayah which is unique in the sense there the first duo champs the last few champs have been pretty unique. Bard with his meeps. asol with his stars. Ivern just being ivern. jhin fixed attack speed first and one of 2 reload marksmen. kled dual health bar and first truly mounted champ. Taliyah with terrain generation. New ww can track enemy with %health below a certain threshold.

Speaking of unique champions, you totally forgot Azir who is arguably the most unique champion ever in league.

i mean i was picking champs that release in the in the past because the op was complaing about new champs but your right azir is a pretty unique champ.

well with them experimenting with new types of spells, like terrain generation (taliyah wall) and new types of buffs/debuffs (Cass's grounded poison) and new ways to interact with the game (Ivern's Passive) im sure we'll continue to have new unique champions as long as they keep making new and unique game mechanics

If they took every Q W E R in the game and mix and matched them to create a new champ, they'd have an unlimited amount of possibilities

Don't quote me on that, I am not 100% sure, but I recall them stating that they are aiming for a total number of 200 champions. it was in one of these dev posts if I remember correctly.

Im pretty sure that we are talkin about alot more champions than 200...

Chembaron YamadaApr 25, 20171 votes

I am not that sure about that. Let's say they keep up the current trend of 6 new champions per year. We are at 136 champions right now, that leaves us with 64 champions to go.

If they keep up that speed, that would mean it takes them 11 2/3 years to reach the number of 200 champions. That's a pretty long time. And at some point there should be an end, League is not like Pokemon where they can create thousands of monsters basically doing all the same and just with a different look. They are aiming to give each champion unique niches and that is limited.

If you keep that in mind, 200 champions sounds reasonable.

Yeah... Well im not good at math, but if u took every Q-W-E-R spell + Passiv and the 2 summonor spells and mix them

Can someone good at math here estimate how many unique champions they can create ???

You don't really need to be good at math for that math, it just takes time.

You can't mathematically figure out how many unique champions Riot can make by finding every possible combination of abilities, because that wouldn't make them unquue. Unique champions have new mechanics, not mashups of old ones.
