Aatrox, Irelia, Karma, Caitlyn and Quinn could make up the next wave of champions coming to League Classic. The five names appeared on a list attributed to the PBE, League of Legends' test server, as potential upcoming additions to the mode.

Aatrox, Irelia, Karma, Caitlyn and Quinn Could Arrive soon

The list is particularly notable for the potential return of champions that have undergone major reworks over the course of League of Legends history.

Aatrox, Irelia and Karma, for example, had older versions that differed significantly from their current kits, while Quinn also underwent major changes to the way she interacts with Valor. Caitlyn and Irelia had previously been among the champions linked with future additions to Classic.

The most recent champions to reach the live servers were Fiora, Galio, Poppy, Shyvana and Xin Zhao. The group was added in Patch 26.18 and marked the mode's largest single roster expansion up to that point. League Classic launched with 60 champions and currently features 68 different characters.

When Could Aatrox, Irelia, Karma, Caitlyn and Quinn Come to League Classic?

The five champions could potentially arrive in League Classic on October 7 with Patch 26.20. Riot Games has not officially confirmed the additions at this time.
