2. Champion Architect – Builds for League of Legends
This app from Grant Davis focuses on a single, yet incredibly important, aspect of LoL gameplay — character builds. What is unique about this app, though, is that it allows you to create your own builds and save them to the app for easy access and viewing. You can experiment with builds for certain characters, and see how each build affects the character’s stats, so you can fine-tune your builds to fit the style of gameplay you are seeking.
This app will be useful for new players and veterans alike, because understanding how to build your characters takes time, and it will make the process much easier by letting you make builds outside of the heat of the match.
