There are a lot of them in the game (a lot might be an understatement) and working out who's the best of the bunch can be challenging.
We've chosen who we think is the strongest League of Legends champion below, as well as giving you the name of every single one in the game right now!
How many champions are there in League of Legends?
Anyone that plays League of Legends knows that there are no shortage of champions in the game – and now there are over 150 of them with that list continuing to grow!
That's right, folks. There are more than 150 League of Legends champions to choose from, so picking a character can get quite complicated.

Who is the best champion in League of Legends?
There are cases to be made for many of the champions but for our money, the cream of the crop here is Garen – The Might of Demacia!
He's a tank (which should say a lot on its own) but his health regenerates fast, his defensive skills are high and he is capable of dealing a heck of a lot of damage!
