Cooldowns v1

A website for League of Legends players that allows them to quickly find cooldown information, with automatic updates via API.

Context :

During my experience in esports on LoL, I identified the need to have access to champion cooldowns in the game to refine strategic choices. I had created a Google Sheets version of a table, but it wasn’t practical to keep it updated, as I had to manually edit it every two weeks based on the patches.
To get started with coding and development, I naturally wanted to build a site that would be a dynamic table linked to the RIOT GAMES API to facilitate updates. This site saw some success at its launch (through Reddit and Twitter) with around 30,000 monthly users. .

Features :

  • - Game information through a table
  • - Search and perform calculations
  • - Bi-monthly updates via the Riot Games API

Technologies :

  • - Flask
  • - Nginx
  • - AWS

Conclusion :

Thanks to this project, I realized the difficulty of bringing an idea to life. But also, all that is possible to achieve, to learn, and the pride you feel when you succeed in making that idea a reality.
Starting with Python helped me since I had already worked with the language during my studies and my LoL career. The most challenging part was definitely setting up with AWS and EC2.
