HP, short for Health Points, represents the amount of damage a champion can absorb before dying. When a champion’s HP drops to zero, they are defeated and must wait through a respawn timer before returning to the map. HP is one of the core defensive stats in League of Legends, influencing how well a champion survives trades, skirmishes, and extended fights.
Higher HP pools help champions withstand poke, survive Burst damage, and stay active during prolonged engagements. Tanks and durable bruisers often build items that increase maximum HP to strengthen their role in Tanking for the team, while fragile champions rely more on mobility and Sustainability to manage incoming damage. Understanding how much HP you and your opponents have influences risk assessment, all in potential, and overall fight planning.
