LoL’s free champion rotation: April 9

Take a look at this week's free-to-play champions.

It would take hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours of League of Legends to collect all 167 champions without spending your hard-earned cash. That’s why the weekly free champion rotations handed out by Riot Games can be great for trying them all out before committing to the buy button.
