โ Champion Codex Browse every champion by role and search by name or by the English champion ID. For every champion you get: โข Passive and Q/W/E/R abilities โข Cooldowns, costs, and per-rank values โข Lore and base stats โข Tips for playing as them and against them โข The full skin list with full-screen viewing โข A board just for that champion Favorite champions stay at the top of the list. โ Item Codex Search items by name or nickname, and filter by tag: Health, Attack Damage, Ability Power, Ability Haste, Movement Speed, and more. Total cost, combine cost, sell value, and stats come with a build graph. Tap through components and upgrades to follow a build path. โ Rune Codex All five paths at a glance: Precision, Domination, Sorcery, Resolve, and Inspiration. Read the keystone and rows 1 to 3 in order, and expand any rune for a description with the real numbers. โ Summoners' Plaza Every champion has a board of its own. Ahri talk belongs on the Ahri board, patch opinions on the Patch Debate board. Pick a match and a board opens for that match too. Read every board together in one feed, or filter down to one. A post can carry a title, body text, one photo, and a poll. Comments, replies, and mentions keep the conversation going. โ Match History Look up a summoner by Riot ID (name + #tag). The tag picks the right region for you (NA1, JP1, EUW1, and the rest), and your own summoner plus recent searches are saved for one-tap access. The app does not calculate or analyze match history itself. It opens OP.GG in a browser inside the app. โ News and Match Schedule Riot's official notices, patch notes, dev blogs, updates, store news, and esports news in one list, with comments on every article. Choose which regional Riot site the news comes from: KR, US, JP, TW, VN, or BR. The schedule covers LCK, LPL, LEC, LCS, CBLOL, LCP, LJL, and VCS, plus MSI, Worlds, and First Stand, with filters for the leagues you follow. Teams, times, and results by date, from last week to a month ahead. โ Seven Languages Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, and Brazilian Portuguese. Switch any time in Settings, and champion info and news follow along. โ Notifications and Safety Turn notifications on or off by type: comments, replies, mentions, upvotes, and poll closings. You can also keep them quiet overnight. Every post and comment can be reported or blocked. Profanity and links are filtered automatically, and posts that collect reports can be hidden automatically. You can delete your account at any time. Deleting it removes the posts, comments, and photos you wrote along with it. Champion, item, and rune information is built on data published by Riot Games, and updates with new champions and patches. Light and dark appearance are both supported, following your device setting.
