League of legends gay characters
Nami surprised pretty much everyone when her addition to Legends of Runeterra confirmed her as polyamorous, being in a relationship with Loto and Tama, other Marai of her tribe. It's a bit unclear how she should be labeled, but one thing is sure: she's queer. LGBTQ+ CODED CHARACTERS (characters who are not explicitly LGBTQ+ but have lots of themes commonly associated with the LGBTQ+ community - no i am not listing Ezreal just because he is skinny and blonde).
Rell had flirtatious lines with both men and women in League and was explicitly labeled as bisexual by her creators, also being confirmed through official pride art. This category is for characters who are LGBTQ+.

As a member of the Marai, an aquatic race of protectors, Nami is depicted in a loving polyamorous relationship with her partners, Tama and Loto. Caitlyn and Vi were already a popular ship before their romantic interest in one another became explicit, as shown in Arcane, Legends of Runeterra, and more subtly in the Warriors cinematic. He and Sett have been a popular ship since the Spirit Blossom release, a skin line that makes them boyfriends, which already confirms him as queer.
It's worth adding that Vi also shares another romance-themed skin line with Fiora, and they seem to be very good friends there, but we'll get into that later.

Rell is another champion whose queerness was stated on her debut. One of the people who worked on her character explicitly highlighted the relationship and affirmed that Nami was pansexual. Neeko's sexuality was a big deal when first announced, not only because she was the first canon queer champion of League but also because her sexuality is explicitly portrayed through her voice lines, as she often flirts with female champions and shows a disinterest in the Shoo'ma of men she shapeshifts into.
