I made a website for creating and testing builds using the Riot API!

Hey there! I made a website, build.lol, which allows you to try out different builds on champions and automatically fills in data for ability descriptions. Use it to get try out a new build before going in game, or just get a feel for a champion’s scaling before spending your hard earned IP. You can even load your own runes and masteries, and integrate them into your build! And best of all, build.lol uses the Riot API, so the stats are always up to date. There are also some easter eggs with champion search tags! I tried to remain as faithful to league logic as possible, going as far as to make the website spaghetti code! So, if something’s off, it’s probably because everything is coded as a minion (Ok, maybe not everything). If you think you can fix it, or just want to look at my code, head over to my github repo. More features, including a guide publisher, DPS calculator and win predictor may be coming, depending on if I have the time. If there’s anything not to your liking, or a feature you want, comment down below or message me on league chat.

something you should add to this is an overall rating of the build based of the ratio of hp to armor to mr to ad to ap based off on the champs role/ scaling

I really like this! =) A few suggestions from when I tried it.

  • Frozen Heart does not update your CDR stats, or at least it did not when I tried it
  • Replacing Cinderhulk with a non-HP item does not affect your HP (maybe make a "refresh" button for stats that don't fix themselves)
  • This does not account for Cinderhulk's bonus HP as far as I can tell; I get 412 HP from Rylai's instead of 512 when adding it to the build.
  • The little overviews that pop up to tell you an items stats like to stay long after you've moved away from the item.
  • I really like that you include the total gold spent in the upper right; maybe you should also include an average gold per minute or average gold per level somewhere, as I guideline for people who are trying to figure out when they can hit powerspikes. Alternatively, it could reference that summoner's average or recent gold statistics with that champion or role. (PS: I really like that option to import runes and masteries)

Nice, this is really cool and should be helpful to me when experimenting with different build paths. Really the only issue I noticed was that the tooltips for the items and stuff go off the left side of the screen so I can't really read them.
