League of Legends now has 100 million players

It wasn’t that long since Riot said League of Legends has 67 million active players, and now after two years of that the numbers have nearly doubled as there’s now over 100 million player every month.

The number doesn’t represent accurately how many people are actually playing as they could have multiple accounts, but it’s for players who are active at least monthly. Riot Games co-founder Marc ‘Tryndamere’ Merrill, said that it still surprised them how quickly the game was growing. Describing it as ‘building the plane while flying it,’ Riot is constantly trying to keep up with the game’s expansion.

Despite being a free to play title, League of Legends generates Riot more than $1.4 (£1.06) billion a year. To date though there are 132 champions to play with, several maps and modes, ranked play, cooperative against AI and more to keep these 100 million busy and enjoying themselves.
