How Many Champions are in League of Legends?

League of Legends is a popular game – before the match starts, you have to select which champion you will be using and take it from us; there are many champions for you to choose from. They range from heroic warriors to swift assassins, and everything in between the two. If you choose, you can fight as a shape-shifting dragon or a tree …yes, it’s that cool.

How many champions are in League of Legends? Right now, there are a total of 161 champions, with the latest one being Nilah.
