LoL Champions Summary List
LoL Champions Summary List by stryker246
I am by most standards a fairly new player. After having my account since season 2, I hit level 30 in January this year and have since bounced my way between and Bronze and Silver in ranked. So by most regards I am new and probably not the most knowledgable about the game.
I recently started to get my brother into the game and started to teach him what I knew. I realized that there isn’t an easy way for him to find info about all the champions in one place. I decided to start putting together a sort of beginners guide with all the info someone would need to start understanding the game. If something like this already exists, let me know.
So far I have this table that lays out some basic info:
