League of Legends has been released for over a decade, and it has remained one of the biggest games in the world. The game came out in the latter half of 2009, and it had a professional esports scene within the first two years of its release. Riot Games has successfully run its professional scene since 2010, and it has expanded immensely to the numerous regions that have professional leagues.
By 2012, there was already almost 100 champions added to the game, with the fewest amount of characters released in a year being 24. Since the game had a myriad of characters to choose from, Riot began to slow down on creating new characters from 2012-present.
