These skillfully-told stories and exciting new champions have kept players coming back over the years, with many speculating who will come next. Each champion has a unique backstory, and the game constantly introduces new characters to keep it fresh and relevant. Some of these champions help to further develop the lore of the League of Legends universe and the events that take place within it, such as the Noxian invasion of Ionia, the three-way war in Freljord, and (most recently) the Ruination event led by the champion Viego. The popular multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends features a huge cast of playable characters known as champions.
