I was reading up the lore of League today.Back in S2 and S3 summoners were a thing which is why the characters in game were called 'Champions".However, now that summoners are no longer a thing, should they still be called "Champions"?
Well I mean champion as a term has a pretty broad description, and I'd say most if not all of League's roster can count as folks championing something, be it a nation, a people, an ideology/movement or whatever suits them.
Not in the lore... but for game purposes, yes.
I think that changing their name from champions to, say, "heroes" would greatly take away from the game's essence, just as changing the actual game's name, "League of Legends", (and for the same reasons) into something else would. :P
Champs sound like accomplished people who are amazing for one reason or another.
Hero is an ideology
... Uh YES?!
Well it is the League of Legends, despite lore rework League of Legends still fits, and we could call them Legends, because that's what they are.
See how it fits: "Hey, did you see the new Legend teaser?" ... works beautifully
