Hi all,

Since the release of the new client, I have missed the customization of sets. Since nature hates vacuum and probably also because I had a few hours free last week, I decided to put together a replacement.

It is a web tool that you can find there: http://lol.item-set.com

How it works

It requires no installation, because it does not do anything directly to your computer. To use it it’s simple: drag & drop your League of Legends/Config folder into the tool, and you can start customizing. You can also start fresh if you want, then ignore this previous step.

When done, you can download your modified sets, and simply replace the League of Legends/Config folder with the one you just downloaded.

A few more things

Obviously, this is a beta since I just released it, but I have tested in both Chrome, Firefox & Safari Mac to ensure 99% of normal human beings can use it. I will support other browsers but did not have them at hand: if you encounter any issue, shoot it and specify your OS & browser.

The tool is entirely client based, so once loaded there is 0 communication with the server: it should work super fast once ready.

You work is saved in your browser, so when you get back (on the same machine) to the site, it will open where you left off. If you want to clear it: clear your cache!

It will automatically update the data source every 6 hours, so when patch day comes you should see the new/updated items shortly (depends on Riot API of course)

** Will I get banned? Is this approved? **

I cannot imagine why you would be banned, since in the official FAQ about the new client , their is a part about item set which I will quote for you:

One feature that isn't being immediately brought over from the legacy client are item sets. However, your existing item sets will still continue to work and our third-party API will sitll allow you to download custom item sets from community developers for in-game use.

Here is my point of view on the matter:

  • If you use the new client, this is a workaround to manage your sets
  • The code I made is open source, it runs in your browser so it does nothing more or less than any website you can browse
  • You do not install anything. You copy & paste .json files which are not executable so risk is very easy to assess as: none
  • The legacy client will be gone at some point, and from my understanding they were quite clear that item sets would not be a part of the new client for some time at least, if ever again. They even made appeal to external tool like this one (again, see the FAQ).

Hope this clears any doubts you may have,

Happy customization!

**PS: ** This is my second third fourth post on these boards, and I am having trouble getting visibility for the tool, or maybe I do not, and the tool is simply not that useful. If you feel this tool needs to live on, do not hesitate to push this post up.

Item set creators are not bannable so you're good to go on that front. Only thing that we don't allow is the usage of official logos in community projects like the one that snuck in at the top left ;) Oh and you should also add the following into the footer of your site:

Looks good! I got it working on my iPad but when I went to Chrome on my PC this is what I got: http://imgur.com/a/7Nzo5

Windows 10 Chrome Version 55.0.2883.87 m (latest) No errors in the console

Lastly, if you haven't already, come hang out with us on the developer forums :D https://developer.riotgames.com/discussion/community-discussion

Hey Cladrich, could you add a system so I can make 1 item set the same for multiple champions? (I like to list all my items for ADC in the Item Set, and if I could make 1 build and then copy/paste it into other builds that'd be cool.)

Thanks, I like this.

This is the good stuff. Great work!

I tried it and has a little problem - the right coloumn showing the different item blocks does not scroll, so if i have 4+ blocks i can' t see beyond the 4th. There is a workaround which is to zoom away so i can see the remaining blocks, however. This said, looks veeery good :O

It looks really nice, and works so far, but I just have one question.

What does GP10 and MP5 mean? From what I have been able to figure out GP10 is gold items, but I would still like to know what it means.

Also you should add redemption into the active section.

Bumping for visibility.

This is great! Thank you. Item sets are the one thing that keeps me from using the new client all of the time.

Two feature suggestions: (1) hover over an icon to render the name and description (2) hover over the name of the item block to give the gold sum of the items within that block

This is very cool, good work. :)

EDIT: Also, this is also more or less how I picture the Item Set Editor to eventually look like in the new client. Very user-friendly.

I've been building this same exact app for the same exact reasons but looks like you beat me to the punch. Great work!

Leanus Crain12/25/2016, 8:28:42 PM1 votes

Having a lot of fun with the web app. Some suggestions (I don't do web apps so i'm not sure how easy this would be) making the Champion selector be a drop down menu with a search function, treating Global Sets as their own drop down menu so you can select it and switch between them faster, and I couldn't tell but can we select multiple champions for a set? Or is it just limited to one right now?

This helps me so much! Thank you! I unfortunately didn't realise there was Item Sets (or how they could be of use) until the new Client which supports previously created but couldn't create new ones or edit old existing item sets. Love this tool

Thanks for this! It has super annoying not having control wards in any of my item sets. One thing though. For whatever reason, when I replace the entire Config folder with the zip file's contents, my game doesn't load my custom item sets. I had to go to the original Config folder and replace the .json files with my downloaded ones for it to work. Is this how it's supposed to be done? The directions just say to replace the entire folder.

i have been playing this game for 6 years,i had 1200 games last season,do i have item sets? am i retarded? NO.who the hell even uses item sets?

Mishli12/24/2016, 7:36:23 PM1 votes

Might not use this myself as I don't really use item sets, but it looks like a great tool for a workaround until Riot brings back item sets (think they said they were coming eventually) I really appreciate that you made it work without an install. Looks great. Keep up the good work!!

I like it, it takes some of my worry about the new client away. One thing though, I dropped the folder in and it has my items sets from weeks ago. Some I have deleted since then, and many were completely changed. Is there a way to make it import my latest sets??
