League of Legends may be free-to-play, but unlike Dota 2, which gives players access to every character from the start of the game, League of Legends players will have to slowly build up their Champion pool using Blue Essence (or Riot Points).
Even then, it can take hours to acquire every Champion, especially when you consider players will likely be spending Blue Essence on name changes, Mastery upgrades, and more.
Thankfully, every week a selection of Champions is available to all players for absolutely free! This allows players to get a feel for a Champion before investing their hard-earned Blue Essence in purchasing them.
It should be noted that these free Champions are not available in Ranked. Only in casual game modes and modes like Aram can these weekly rotating Champions be used.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at this week's list of 16 rotating Champions.

Does The Lol Free Champion Rotation Have a Schedule
There is no definitive reason as to why Champions are selected for the free weekly rotation each week. There is no schedule as to which champions are picked. Each weekly rotation will offer a steady mix of various Fighters, Mages, and Tanks, ensuring all players have plenty of options to trial characters.
Which Champion Will Be On The Next Weekly Rotation
As mentioned, there is no schedule or order to which champions appear in the free champion rotation. The one and only rule is that new Champions are added to the free Champion rotation on the third week after their release. Aside from this, there is no way of predicting who will be next in the rotation.
However, there have been times in the past when important events in Riot Games' history altered the free champion pool. For example, after the release of Arcane, Caitlyn, Ekko, Heimerdinger, Jinx, Vi, and Viktor, were all available for free on top of the free Champion rotation of 16 (making there 22 available free Champions at that time).
So, it is always wise to keep your eyes peeled for special events coming up in the world of League of Legends and Riot Games if you want a shot at predicting who might be next in the free Champion rotation.
