League Classic roster: all 60 official champions

The short answer is simple: the official League Classic roster currently contains 60 champions. Riot describes the starting pool as the original 40 champions plus 20 additional champions chosen from the 2009 to 2013 period. The official champions page lists every name in that pool, and the developer article explains that more champions from the era can be added later.

That matters because many searches for League Classic roster mix two different needs. One reader wants the playable or officially stated League Classic champion list. Another reader wants to inspect what existed in a late Season 3 dataset. The current page answers the first need. The historical roster page remains useful for the second need, because it indexes 117 Riot Data Dragon 3.15.5 champion records without presenting them as the current launch roster.

Quick verdict

How Riot describes the 60 champion pool

Riot does not present the opening list as every champion that existed by late Season 3. The wording is narrower: the original 40 create the base, then 20 champions from the Classic period are added by editorial selection. That is why a champion can appear in historical Season 3 data and still be absent from the current official 60.

For SEO and reader clarity, this page uses "League Classic roster" for the official 60 and reserves "Season 3 historical roster" for Data Dragon 3.15.5. Keeping those labels apart prevents one common error: turning a reproducible old record into a claim about what Riot is shipping now.

Official League Classic champion list

The names below are the 60 champions shown on Riot's League Classic champions page at the time checked. Champion names are kept in their official English form because the site treats them as game entities.

Use the table as a crawlable checklist, not as a tier list or role guide. The page does not rank champions and does not infer current balance from old memories.

Official 60 vs historical 117: which page should you use?

Choose this page when the question is current: "which champions are in League Classic?" or "what is the League Classic champion list?" Choose the historical roster when the question is about Riot Data Dragon 3.15.5, older names, titles, role tags, resource labels, or a reproducible Season 3 baseline.

The difference is not a technicality. Data Dragon can prove what one historical dataset contained. The official League Classic page can prove what Riot currently lists for the Classic roster. A useful wiki should preserve both sources without merging their claims.

How to verify and use the roster without overreading it

1. 1. Start with the official listUse Riot's champions page for the current 60-name roster count and spelling.
2. 2. Check the dev article for framingUse Riot's developer article for the OG 40 plus 20-addition explanation and the note that more era champions may arrive later.
3. 3. Use historical data only for historyUse the Data Dragon roster to research Season 3-era records, not to add unconfirmed names to the current pool.
4. 4. Do not infer balance or accessA champion being listed does not define final numbers, queues, regions, availability windows, or progression systems.

How to compare missing names safely

If a remembered champion is absent from the official 60, treat that as a source boundary rather than a story by itself. The safe wording is "not on the checked official League Classic champions page" rather than "removed," "banned," or "cut." Those stronger claims require Riot to explain the decision. This distinction is useful for champions that appear in old Season 3 conversations, because players may remember a champion from a specific month, tournament, or later 2013 patch while Riot is describing a curated launch pool.

For practical research, open the official 60 list first, then search the historical roster for the same name. If it appears only in the historical table, cite the Data Dragon version and keep the claim historical. If Riot later updates the official champions page, update this guide and the status tracker together so internal links, sitemap dates, and evidence labels stay aligned.

What the roster does not prove

• It does not prove that a champion has the exact same kit, stats, bugs, audio, visual model, or item interactions that a player remembers from 2013.
• It does not prove that every champion in Data Dragon 3.15.5 is playable in League Classic.
• It does not prove which items, runes, masteries, maps, queues, or ranked rules are active. Those need their own current source.
• It does not replace the status tracker when you need release, access, or region information.
