Champions

League of Legends players use champions (or sometimes called heroes) to do battle with other champions that are either controlled by other players or AI.

Champions are the central aspect of the entire game. Although the game looks as if it were a strategy-based game, it's not. The game revolves around picking a champion, usually one you take time to play as and learn to use, and then building things around them such as runes, masteries, and items.

There are currently 73 champions to choose from. They are tagged as different things but most players sort the champions by Physical Damage (DPS), Ability Power (Burst/Nuke), Support, or Tanks. However, some champions who would appear to use one of the above may actually use a different classification (such as Katarina who uses melee attacks but her abilities rely on AP).
