About Legends of Runeterra
Legends of Runeterra launched on April 29, 2020, developed and published by Riot Games. The free-to-play digital collectible card game shares its universe with League of Legends, featuring champions and regions from Runeterra.
Gameplay is turn-based, with two players battling to reduce their opponent’s Nexus from 20 health to zero. Players alternate between attacking and defending each round. Cards belong to ten regions with distinct identities.
Two main modes exist: competitive PvP ranked matches and Path of Champions, a single-player roguelite. Path of Champions grew more popular than PvP, prompting Riot’s 2024 strategic pivot. Players collect and upgrade 65+ champions across 800+ cards, a long collection loop that sits within the daily play-time ranges reported in gaming addiction data.
