⭐ League of Legends Classic FULL Breakdown

⭐ League of Legends Classic FULL Breakdown
Season 3 of 2026 will be about celebrating the past and present of League of Legends. It will also celebrate Worlds and Riot's music.

League of Legends Classic is real guys!! Here was my earlier post teasing it. That included some of my general thoughts and what I'm most excited about.

The mode is officially releasing on July 29th!

First, here's some key art & in-game visuals.

Here's what the selection will look like in the client.

These are the details we know so far:
• 60 old champions playable.
• Old item, rune, and mastery systems.
• Original Summoner's Rift map.
• Separate account leveling system (1 - 30).
• Dedicated store with IP currency to unlock champions, runes, and more.
Potential ranked and Co-op vs. AI queues.
• Old-style battle pass shop.
• Mini Pass to earn rewards.

Speaking of the mini pass...

This pass will start on July 29th and progress ends on September 23rd (also when the pass deactivates). This pass will cost 1550 RP.

This pass is NON-LINEAR, so you earn points by playing, and spend them on what rewards you want. New pages unlock when you've spend X amount of 'classic pass coins'. You might also be asking "If it's only for classic why is Jax there" - and the answer would be that the pass includes rewards for regular League of Legends, including the Jax skin, icons, emotes, titles, BE, random champions, random skins, random wards, and more. The portraits, Classic Skins, and Classic Chromas are only usable in League of Legends Classic.

Other Additions

We will be getting a version of ARAM: Mayhem called ARAM: Mayhem Classic-ish. You'll only be able to play the 60 Classic champions, and it will feature a Classic-inspired map, items, and Classic-themed Augments.

Icons and emotes coming out in the mini-pass mentioned above.

We also have information regarding the re-release of the Founders edition skins. See our post here to learn more.

We also know that the community will vote to shape the future of the game mode. I'm unsure of what exactly this means - but as a blanket statement, it seems like Riot might be more accepting of player feedback for the future of LoL Classic. Additionally, more champions will be added throughout future patches, including Akali, Caitlyn, Fiora, Graves, Irelia, Mordekaiser, and Urgot.

On a less serious note, veteran players like Doublelift, PawN, Cpt Jack, Ambition & more recently played a LoL Classic show match on stage! Here's the full match:
