LoL free champion rotation: Mar. 21st – Mar. 28th

League of Legends is in its 14th year of existence, ever since it went live back in 2009. Throughout the years, Riot has made constant changes to the game, adding champions and bringing updates to make the game refreshing. Learning and mastering all these characters takes time. Riot has a system that unlocks champions with Blue Essence, but getting all of them requires a lot of playtime.

Luckily for newcomers and those who do not wish to spend money to get the champions, Riot gives players the chance to try most of them with the weekly champion rotation, allowing them to test out the given champion for free.

Currently, the developers allow you to get 16 free champions each week. The free champion rotation switches up every week on Tuesday, so make sure to come and check out which ones you can try on Summoners’ Rift for the given week.

These are the champions that are part of this week’s free champion rotation:

  • Akali
  • Ashe
  • Aurelion Sol
  • Cassiopeia
  • Irelia
  • Kha’Zix
  • Kled
  • Lucian
  • Maokai
  • Nasus
  • Poppy
  • Seraphine
  • Shaco
  • Sona
  • Soraka
  • Vi

Best champions to play in this week’s free rotation

League of Legends is an extremely dynamic game, where patches can make certain strategies or champions stronger than others. By looking at the current weekly rotation, we are going to break down the strongest champions to play, one per role.

  • Top – Kled
  • Jungle – Vi
  • Mid – Aurelion Sol
  • ADC – Ashe
  • Support – Soraka

If you’re looking for a new interesting top laner to play this week, we recommend Kled. He’s been ramping up in popularity thanks to his new damage-oriented build with Eclipse and Black Cleaver, which allows him to one-shot most squishy champions with a combo rotation. Furthermore, he has one of the best long-range engages with his ultimate.

If you want to carry games as a jungler, instead, go for Vi. She’s one of the favorite picks at the highest level of play and is usually seen in professional play. Thanks to her ultimate, she can punish any champion that is even slightly out of position.

There are a couple of choices when it comes to mid laners this week: out of the three picks, we recommend playing Aurelion Sol. Not only because he recently got his CGU, but also because he’s super powerful, to the point he’s getting nerfed in the upcoming Patch 13.6. He’s not easy to learn, but after you get the hang of him, you will be burning all enemies with his breath of Fire.

There aren’t many choices for ADCs this week, so we recommend Ashe. She’s super easy to learn compared to others in the role, so all you have to do is know which supports work best with her to dominate Summoner’s Rift.

To round off the list, we have Soraka among the supports. She’s the perfect example to learn what enchanters do, so playing her will allow you to get better at playing that class of champions overall. On top of that, your allies will love you when you will save them from the realm of death thanks to the insane heals she can grant.
