How many Champions will League of Legends have?

What’s the difference between the Summoner and a Champion?

Summoners study the ancient art of spirit tuning. They tap into the flow of all energy-known as the Nexus. While tuned in, Summoners can link themselves with a Champion, lending strength and guidance to those who battle to resolve the conflicts of the realms. With each battle a Summoner takes part in, his or her power grows, giving them greater access to the Nexus, allowing them to influence battle more profoundly. Summoners are a persistent game element. Your in-game identity will be tied directly to your Summoner. Additionally, Summoners have the unique and exceptional ability to call forth Champions into the battle arena. So, the Summoner will not be directly engaged in battle; however, the more powerful and skilled a Summoner becomes, the more he or she can influence the battle. Your Summoner will be completely customizable, allowing for a dynamic and meaningful impact on combat.

Champions are the finest warriors reigning from every corner of the universe. Unlike the Summoner, Champions are session-based. At the beginning of each session your selected Champion will start out at level 1 and will progress in levels and power throughout that session. At the beginning of the next session, your Champion will start back at level 1. Champions only become active when a Summoner beckons them into the fray.

Are there classes in League of Legends?

League of Legends will not have different classes. However, Summoners will have ability trees and customization choices that allow for a wide range of strategic options. Additionally, Champions will each have uniquely crafted abilities designed for specific purposes within session play.

Is there crafting in League of Legends?

There will not be crafting in League of Legends, but players will be able to form legendary items by forging together two or more basic items.

When will League of Legends be released?

We will have Beta released in early 2009. We’re working around the clock, on weekends, on holidays, even on birthdays to make League of Legends the most dynamic and enjoyable game you’ve played in a long, long while. Keep checking in for cool new updates and news about League of Legends.
