What it did

A native Android match scouter for League of Legends that pulled live match data from LoLNexus and LoLKing, so you could scout your enemies during the loading screen:

  • Current and past ranks for every player in the match
  • Win/loss rate in ranked games
  • KDA ratio with each player’s current champion
  • Current runes and masteries
  • Count of games played with the current champion
  • Premade detection (know who’s queued together)
  • Favorite players with online-status refresh

Why I built it

When playing with random people online, I always checked the stats of my teammates, because it influenced my champion choice. Do I go with a champion that scales fast? Or one that scales longer? There were multiple websites for this (this was before op.gg), but alt-tabbing in a toaster was not efficient. I could use my phone, but there was no app. That’s where I came in.
