20 of 173 champions, free for everyone until the next reset. No Blue Essence or RP needed.

Is the rotation random?

No. From 2012 to 2022, a champion who'd just been free had about a 2% chance of being free in each of the next five weeks. By week 12 that chance had climbed to 33%, and 66% of all returns landed 8 to 13 weeks after the last free week. The chart covers 316 weeks that have a full 20 weeks of history behind them.

Weeks since the champion was last free

It still runs this way at 20 a week, only faster. Since 2025 the median return has been 7 weeks, and 68% of returns land 6 to 10 weeks after the last free week.

The class mix is a different story. Before mid-2017 each week was built to a quota (two mages, two marksmen, a support and so on). After that, the share of each class matches what a random draw from the roster would give, and the average difficulty rating of a free week is the same as the roster's. New champions follow their own clock. Since 2019, 18 releases went free between 11 and 20 days after launch, usually on the second Tuesday.
