Riot Games has confirmed that League of Legends Classic will be going live in Patch 26.15 (July 29), and honestly, we can't wait to dust off some old-school strategies. The studio teased the news directly, asking players which OG builds they're most looking forward to firing up once League Classic is live.
What Is League Classic?
Riot is billing this as a return to the League of Legends of old, with the original Summoner's Rift, original gameplay design, original champions, items and all the insanity that they were.

The community will apparently also get to vote to help shape the direction of League of Legends Classic, which, sounds a bit like how Old School RuneScape works.

The nostalgia levels are silly. Riot has brought back old icons and interface details into the modern client. BEEP BOOP!


All you need is to download the modern League of Legends client and then on July 29, it's time to play! If your account needs to be recovered, Riot can help with that.
When Does League Classic Go Live?
