Riot·6/6/2016, 11:48:07 PM·1 votes·38,329 views

The results are in for our third online coding contest; the 2016 Riot Games API Challenge. Back in April, we asked community developers to utilize Champion Mastery data to create a project in one of three categories: Entertainment, Usability/Practicality, or Creativity/Originality. We’re very happy to present the winners of the 2016 Riot Games API Challenge:

Entertainment

First Place

Mastery Duel by SleepyBox (NA) and Bouhm (NA)

We saw several games built around Champion Mastery each with its own merits, but our favorite was Mastery Duel. We’ve seen several card games based around League of Legends but this card game allows a player to utilize their most played champions based on their Champion Mastery.


Usability/Practicality

First Place

Mastery Profiler by Merricat (NA) and Osbourne Cox (NA)

There were a lot of entries that took a snapshot of a player’s Champion Mastery, but we felt Mastery Profiler had one of the most usable implementations. Mastery Profiler covered all the bases with a quick statistical overview, a graphical breakdown by lane, and a way to search and sort through your own mastered champions.


Creativity/Originality

First Place

URF Tunes by RndmInternetMan (NA) and KirkBerkley (NA)

In a unique take on Champion Mastery, this entry utilized a player’s mastered champions as a unique “fingerprint.” What better way to present this fingerprint to the user than through music?! Who wouldn’t want a song tailored to their own champions?


Runners-Up

Usability/Practicality

League Mastery by Kingpool (EUW) and CrazyyCheshire (EUW)

Creativity/Originality

Gromp by LissandraEU (EUW) and Pigeon (EUW)

Creativity/Originality

Road To Mastery by PanPhoenix (NA)

Urf tunes. Your number one website when you just want to cool off after tilting a whole game. I really enjoyed all the different songs friends of mine had. It was really well made nice job!

Going into URF tunes and listening to others music is kidda interesting.

Try to listen to these:

  • Riot Dash
  • Riot Phreak
  • tyler fcking 1
  • Deep Terror Nami
  • Malicious Metal (EUW server)
  • RaptorKarr
  • Face the Sun
  • Laughing Fish
  • hide on brush (KR server) - NOTE: Faker's one sounds kidda awsome after you've listened to everyone elses.
  • C9 Hai - (apparently Hai's one sounds like Faker)

I didn't even know this was going on! Must have missed a week of announcements.

HOLY SHIT! THESE ARE AWESOME! [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

There seems to be a problem though with Mastery Profiler where if you try to click on the lanes it keeps selecting Top even though I click mid for example or even support.

The tunes sound similar for all, but gj to all 3 of you

Congratulations to all the winners! The API Challenges are always fun!

Hmmmm, I do believe I need to bookmark that Mastery Profiler site for future use. I like what I see. It says my best lane is support. Make sense, I was relegated to support often while leveling up to 30 & even many times after.

Mastery Profiler would be awesome if it was actually accurate. Does Riot actually check these things? The top graphic shows I have no champions mastered, even though the other sections show them.

Man, I absolutely love the Urf Tunes! Just wish it would actually load the songs for me, since it always seems to stop about 14 seconds in, no matter whose song I'm listening too.

Less it's supposed to do that, but I'm really suspecting it's not.

Urf Tunes is a super cool idea and it sounds good, but the music sounds super similar across the 5 different summoners I tried. Not trying to knock it, just saying I hope you guys can keep improving it and make it better!

On Urf-Tunes I'm having a problem when downloading the song that I will just get caught and repeat the same note really fast for a couple seconds, have tried re-downloading but didn't work :(
