This is because some Riot Games developers decided to share them with their fans.
Some of these canceled champions are unlike other characters that are available in "LoL." Others are used to create the heroes that you can use today.

A "League of Legends" "Steam Golem" action figure stands on display during a press preview of the exhibition: "Golem" at the Jewish Museum Berlin on September 22, 2016 in Berlin, Germany.
Husk: Husk, the Hive Commander, is one of the few canceled characters that led to playable champions. This secret hero's design was used to create Kai'Sa and Camille.
Omen: Omen was supposed to be a quadruped Voidborn-esque creature with a red glowing design. He was announced along Side Yorick and Ao Shin (Ao Shin later evolved to Aurelion Sol)
Plant King: Plant King, aka Gavid, was supposed to be a plant-themed character. This means that he was like Maokai, Ivern, and Zyra.
Averdrian: Averdrian, the Astral Guardian, was a spirit mage with single-target control mechanics. The presence of this hero is still in the Summoner's Rift since the logo for his Astral Beam is now being used as the Baron Nashor effect's indicator.
Tabu: Tabu, the Voodoo Shaman, was supposed to be a support-mage hero in "League of Legends." His skills involved linking himself to allies to increase their damage or apply healing effects.
Why More 'LoL' Characters are Being Released
As of writing, there are over 160 "League of Legends" characters that can be played by gamers.
And Riot Games is still planning to release new ones before 2023 ends and in the following years.
Dexerto reported that releasing new characters is what makes "LoL" alive.
"We continue to make new champions because we believe part of League's magic is its never-ending mastery curve. Learning new things is fun, and it keeps people excited to keep playing," explained Ryan "Reav3" Mireles, Riot Games' lead champion producer.
In other news, the new "League of Legends" Heartache and Heartthron skins were recently released.
We also reported that a new Aurelion Sol rework bug was suppoted in "LoL" PBE.
