THE GAME, IN CONTEXT
What is League of Legends Classic?
League of Legends Classic is Riot Games' return to an iconic early era of its 5v5 MOBA. It brings back the classic Summoner's Rift atmosphere alongside original champions, items, runes, masteries, and gameplay systems.
It is not simply a frozen copy of one old patch. Players can rediscover famous strategies such as AP Master Yi while the community helps shape which champions, items, and systems return next.
