Project Details

The Problem

More advanced players of League of Legends often seek out advanced resources to keep up to date on the game’s latest changes or inform them before a game. However, these tools are spread out across multiple different websites that can be hard to discover, as well as come with their own experience execution and site architecture. This in turn creates a fragmented user experience that increases the barrier to entry to discover and use these tools.

The Solution

Rift is an application for iOS design to assist League of Legends players by consolidating some of the most frequently used online tools that already exist. By unifying the user experience to one application, and creating a consistent visual language, Rift aims to give players a consistent, rapid, and comprehensive resource that can serve them the information they need before getting into the game.

A mobile application solution to this problem was paramount.

Every second is critical at the beginning of a game. Given such I wanted to avoid player apprehension around rapidly switching applications to access out of game resources. By prioritizing a mobile approach, I avoided sacrificing computer screen real estate, as well as provided convenience through additional tools for the player to access when away from the computer.
