Having every champion unlocked from the get-go is a great feature for any game. It allows your players to experiment with whoever they like the best right from the beginning. Unlike games that offer every character to be accessible from the beginning, in League of Legends, you have to buy each of the champions either using Blue Essence, or RP.

It is a struggle trying to save up to get every champion in League of Legends but don’t worry as they come at different prices starting from as low as 450 Blue Essence or 260 RP, costing up to 7800 Blue Essence or 975 RP.

Cheapest Champions in LoL

The cheapest champions in League of Legends cost 450 Blue Essence or 260 RP to purchase. These champions are some of the oldest champions in the game and some of the simplest as well. The cheapest champions are as follows:

• Amumu
• Annie
• Ashe
• Dr.Mundo
• Garen
• Kayle
• Master Yi
• Nunu & Willump
• Poppy
• Ryze
• Singed
• Sivir
• Soraka
• Warwick 

Amumu

Amumu, The Sad Mummy, is a low-difficulty tank jungler. He is known for his durability and his crowd control abilities. Amumu can pull himself towards targets using Bandage Toss (Q), stunning them not only once but twice with the same ability. He can then further lock them down using Curse of the Sad Mummy (R). This makes him extremely strong and valuable on any team.

He is currently one of the top picks in the Support role apart from Jungle. He is a strong pick against enemy champions who are vulnerable to burst.

Annie

Annie, The Dark Child, is an easy-to-play mage played in the mid-lane. She is known for her capability of dealing an absurd amount of damage in a single burst. She is one of the best champions to practice the fundamentals of League of Legends with. She is not a very popular pick in the mid-lane, making her an unusual matchup for many. She shines in the mid-game, bursting opponents from their maximum health to zero.

Ashe

Ashe, The Frost Archer, is yet another low-difficulty champion on this list. She classifies as a marksman and is played in the bot lane. Her ultimate ability Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) as well as her poke with Volley (W) makes her a great support pick as well. As of patch 12.15, she is among the strongest poke champions that you can pick in the bot lane. She rose in popularity in season 12 and is a strong pick in any team composition.

Dr. Mundo

Dr. Mundo, The Madman of Zaun, is a tank played in the top lane. He is extremely durable.  Known for his healing and tenacity in any form of fighting, he is among the best tanks in LoL. He becomes stronger as the game progresses, making him harder to deal with the longer the game goes on. Dr. Mundo, additionally, has a sarcastic personality which fits his identity perfectly.

Garen

Garen, The Might of Demacia, is a durable fighter played in the top lane. He is not only one of the cheapest champions in all of League of Legends but also one of the easiest champions to play. He is a mid-late game menace due to how well he scales. He is a straightforward champion, making him good for new players as they would spend less time exploring his abilities and can focus on other aspects of the game.

Kayle

Kayle, The Righteous, is a fighter from Demacia. She is a heavy scaling champion, possibly the strongest on the list. She is a fairly common pick that shines in the late game, becoming an unstoppable force in the face of her enemies. As long as Kayle gets enough gold to purchase her core items, there are very few things that can stop her from brute-forcing her way to the enemy nexus.

Master Yi

Master Yi, The Wuju Bladesman, is an assassin jungler. He is one of the champions you have a chance to acquire for free right after playing the tutorial. He is a very popular pick-or-ban champion, especially in the lower ranks where people don’t know how to effectively counter him. Master Yi can be your key to winning several games. He is easy to play, fairly mobile, and outputs incredible damage. He is also one of the hardest snowballing champions in all of League of Legends.

Nunu & Willump

Nunu & Willump, The Boy and His Yeti, is an easy-to-learn jungle champion. Known for his early game pressure and map presence, Nunu is a ganking jungler that builds tank items. He has been a great pick for some time now. Across all ranks, Nunu & Willump is a strong jungler who possesses great crowd control, sustained damage, and plenty of durability strength. He is a great champion to learn how to play jungle with.

Poppy

Just like Nunu & Willump, Poppy, Keeper of the Hammer, is an easy-to-learn tank jungler. She is known for her durability in combat and her ability to pin and lock enemies down makes her extremely strong. She can also be played in the top lane as she possesses enough strength to hold her own. She is a great counter-pick against champions such as Irelia who rely on dashes due to Poppy’s kit.

Ryze

The Rune Mage Ryze is a scaling mage played in the mid-lane. Kitted with exceptional wave-clear and mobility, he is one of the cheapest champions in League of Legends. Ryze ranks first for unpopularity on this list. He has a very low pick rate as well as a low win rate and has had it for some time now. Although he is not the strongest laner by any means, he still stands a strong pick against champions such as Lissandra and Orianna.

Singed

Singed has a very unique playstyle that involves applying damage-inducing poison along the path he walks on. Singed is one of the more troll champions whom you can have fun with while being effective at the same time. He is an AP fighter who excels in team fighting and skirmishes due to his durability and damage combined with his mobility. For the price, everyone should try Singed at least once.

Sivir

Sivir, The Battle Mistress, is a long-ranged AD Carry champion you can pick up for only 450 Blue Essence. She has received a mini-reword in patch 12.13, making her stronger than ever. Now utilizing marksman items, Sivir is stronger than ever. A great ADC to pick up in season 12 for such a low price.

Soraka

Soraka, The Starchild, is an incredibly strong enchanter support. She is extremely easy to play, making her a strong attraction for any new player. She has a simple kit that lets new players grasp the character’s abilities and identity. Her Astral Infusion (W) allows her to heal her allies directly at the cost of some mana and a small percentage of her own health. She can regenerate her missing health with ease using Starcall (Q) which calls down a star upon an area, which, if landed on an enemy, heals Soraka herself while damaging the target.

Warwick

Lastly, Warwick, The Uncaged Wrath of Zaun, is a strong fighter jungle champion. He is a popular pick that can take over the early game and become a strong threat. Warwick is a champion who takes advantage of his bloodlust by life-stealing his way out of every duel he takes. As the game progresses, Warwick continues to provide his team support due to his tankiness and crowd control.

Champion Prices

In League of Legends, champion prices vary from 450 Blue Essence or 260 RP to 7800 Blue Essence or 975 RP for a single champion. Note that champions only cost 7800 Blue Essence during the first week of their release and their prices are lowered to 6300 Blue Essence. The following are the prices of sets of champions in increments:

• 450 BE or 260 RP
• 1350 BE or 585 RP
• 3150 BE or 790 RP
• 4800 BE or 880 RP
• 6300 BE or 975 RP

Each time a new champion is released, the oldest champion that costs 6300 BE 975 RP is reduced to 4800 BE or 880 RP. Additionally, every third champion release decreases a 4800 BE or 880 RP champion’s price is reduced to 3150 BE or 790 RP.

Final Thoughts

Although League of Legends does not allow you to access every champion from the get-go, most champions are easy to buy as they come at a reasonable price for which, the currency is obtainable by leveling up. As there are over 150 champions in League of Legends, it may take you a while before you can obtain them all, however, it is certainly doable.
