The First 17 Champions and the 40 at Launch
The first 17 champions arrived together on February 21, 2009, during the game's alpha test: Alistar, Annie, Ashe, Fiddlesticks, Jax, Kayle, Master Yi, Morgana, Nunu & Willump, Ryze, Sion, Sivir, Soraka, Teemo, Tristana, Twisted Fate and Warwick.
When League of Legends launched on October 27, 2009, 40 champions were available; 42 came out during 2009 in total. Many of the first champions have since been reworked or updated visually, but they keep their original release date.
The 50th, 100th and 150th Champion
In release order, the 50th champion was Garen (April 27, 2010), the 100th Jayce (July 7, 2012) and the 150th Yone (August 6, 2020). Champions released on the same day are counted in alphabetical order, so a list that orders them another way can give a slightly different number.

Ionia is home to the most champions, 23. 21 champions have no single home region in the data and are grouped as Runeterra. The table counts each region's champions with its newest and oldest.
