Random Champion Picker

Why Use a Random Champion Picker?

You have 172 champions in League of Legends and you play the same 3 every single game. We get it — comfort picks feel safe. But playing the same thing on repeat is exactly why your champion pool is shallow and your off-role games are a disaster. A random champion picker forces you out of that loop and into matchups you'd never queue up for voluntarily.

This isn't just a party trick for custom games (though it's great for that too). Rolling random champions is genuinely one of the fastest ways to learn the game at a deeper level. When you play a champion you've never touched, you start understanding their cooldowns, power spikes, and weaknesses from the inside. Next time you lane against them on your main, you'll know exactly when to punish.

ARAM already does this to some extent, but you're limited to whatever shows up in the reroll pool. Our LoL champion randomizer gives you the full Season 16 roster with filters — pick by role, exclude the champs you hate, or lock in a challenge preset like "All Assassins" or "Hard Mode" for something spicy.

Random Champion Picker for Ranked (Not in the Client)

Here's something most people don't realize: Riot removed the random champion button from ranked champ select. It exists in normals, ARAM, and custom games — but in ranked, it's gone. If you want to do a random champion challenge in ranked, you literally cannot do it from inside the client.

That's where this tool comes in. Roll your champion here before you queue, then lock it in when you get into champ select. Content creators doing "random champion to Challenger" series, players doing Iron-to-Diamond random-only challenges, or anyone who just wants to spice up their ranked grind — this is the only way to do it properly.

Pro tip: use the role filters to match your assigned position. If you get filled jungle, select Jungle and roll. You'll get a champion that actually makes sense for the role instead of being stuck trying to make Yuumi jungle work. Or don't filter — we're not your parents.

How the LoL Champion Randomizer Works

The tool pulls champion data directly from Riot's Data Dragon API, so it's always current with the latest patch. No outdated lists, no missing new releases. Here's how to use it:

• Pick a role filter (Top, Jungle, Mid, Bot, Support) or leave it on All
• Choose how many champions to roll — 1, 3, 5, or 10
• Hit Roll and watch the card reveal animation
• Click any champion card to reroll just that one pick
• Use the champion pool at the bottom to exclude champs you don't own or refuse to play

Each result card shows the champion's difficulty rating pulled from Riot's official data, plus their class tags (Fighter, Mage, Assassin, etc.). If you're new and don't want to get thrown on Azir, use the "Beginner Friendly" preset — it only rolls champions rated difficulty 4 or below.

Random Team Builder for Custom Games

The Team Builder mode is what makes this tool different from every other random champion generator out there. Instead of just spitting out 5 random names, it rolls one champion per actual role — Top, Jungle, Mid, Bot, and Support — using Riot's own class tags to make sure each pick at least makes sense for the position.

Running a custom 5v5 with friends? Both teams roll a random comp and you have to play it. It's chaos, it's hilarious, and it's way more fun than the 47th Yasuo mirror match. Click any role slot to reroll just that position if someone absolutely cannot play the champion they got.

Challenge Presets to Keep Things Interesting

If basic random picks aren't enough, the challenge presets add constraints that make things genuinely difficult (or genuinely funny):

• All Assassins — everyone plays an assassin. Teamfights last 2 seconds.
• Beginner Friendly — only easy champions. Good for teaching new players.
• Hard Mode — only champions rated 8+ difficulty. Aphelios, Azir, Lee Sin territory.
• Newest Champs — the most recently released champions including Zaahen, Yunara, and Mel.
• 225 BE Only — the cheapest roster. 23 beginner-friendly champs like Garen, Ashe, Lux, and Yuumi.
• Tanks Only — nothing but beef. Prepare for 40-minute games.

All League of Legends Champions (Season 16)

As of Season 16, League of Legends has 172 playable champions. The roster keeps growing — Riot typically releases 3-5 new champions per year, with the most recent additions being Zaahen, Yunara, and Mel. Our randomizer updates automatically when new champions hit live servers because it reads directly from Riot's API. No manual updates needed.

Tips for Playing Random Champions

Getting a champion you've never played before can feel like inting with extra steps. A few things that help:

• Check the champion's abilities in the loading screen. Seriously, read the passive at minimum.
• Default to safe runes — Conqueror for melee, Electrocute for burst, Aery for enchanters. You won't be optimal but you won't be trolling either.
• Build the recommended items. Riot's suggestions aren't perfect but they're better than whatever you'd guess.
• Play safe early. You don't know your damage, your cooldowns, or your all-in potential. Farm until you figure it out.
• Focus on macro over mechanics. You won't pull off Riven combos on your first game, but you can still ward, rotate, and group.

Why We Built This Tool

Most random champion pickers online are bare-bones — a button and a name. No role filters, no team builder, no way to exclude champions, no challenge modes. We wanted something that's actually fun to use in a Discord call with friends, not just a glorified random number generator.

The whole thing runs client-side in your browser. Zero server load, instant results, and it works on mobile too. Your excluded champions are remembered for the session so you don't have to re-click 30 champs every time you reroll.
