Updated Performance and Page Display
I've adjusted the performance of the site a bit. After running Lighthouse checks on the different pages (Matchup, Info, Blog), I aimed for an optimal rating. This included changes to how things are loaded or displayed. I also worked on improving the visual appearance of colors across different pages and elements. Overall, the site should now load faster, be more readable for everyone, and have good SEO.
If someone is interested, I can gladly share some Informations
Advertising Earnings and Views Update (based on those who accepted the necessary cookies)
I thought it would be fun to share these stats since I also use them as learning experiences. Here's an overview of ad performance:
As for ad earnings, I currently have €0.78. If the growth continues at this rate, it will take approximately 6140 days, or around 16.8 years, to reach €70 xD Back on August 21, the estimate was 1163 months which would have been approximately 96.92 years to reach €70. Quite the improvement!
Content Adjustments
I've updated the Poppy information a bit.
I also fixed the Discord link by making it unlimited.
Design and Content Fixes
I fixed several design and content issues. Neeko had a duplicated "expand infos" button, which I removed.
Additionally, I made improvements to the Dark Mode design by fixing areas with unreadable text. These changes apply to both the blog and info pages.
We Need Your Feedback!
Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that we've recently rolled out some exciting updates, including the new Light and Dark mode toggle, as well as the updated runes for the Riven guide. I hope these changes enhance your experience on the website!

Riven Guide Runes Update: Fresh for Patch 14.6
After receiving valuable feedback from many of you, I realized it was time to revisit and update the runes in my Riven guide. The game has evolved significantly, and some of the runes and texts I recommended were outdated, not reflecting the current meta. I'm excited to announce that I've now updated the runes and their descriptions to align with the latest patch data, 14.6.
What's New?
In this update, I've revised the runes to better match Riven's playstyle and strengths, ensuring you have the best setup for dominating the top lane. The changes aren't just cosmetic—I've updated the rune icons and images to the latest versions, so you'll always know exactly what you're selecting. More importantly, I've refreshed the rune texts to reflect their current effects, helping you make informed decisions about your builds.
Why This Matters
League of Legends is a constantly evolving game, with regular updates that can impact champion performance and optimal builds. Keeping guides current is essential for providing accurate and useful information. With these updates, my Riven guide will give you a competitive edge, whether you're climbing the ranks or just enjoying casual play.
Thank You for Your Feedback!
This update wouldn't have been possible without the feedback from all of you. Your insights help me improve the guides and make sure they stay relevant. Please keep sharing your thoughts and suggestions; they are invaluable in ensuring the content I create meets your needs. I hope you find these updates helpful, and I look forward to seeing how you use them on the Rift!
New Feature: Light and Dark Mode Toggle
I'm excited to announce a new feature on the website that many of you have been asking for—a mode toggle for "Light" and "Dark" modes! Due to popular demand and feedback from the community requesting different background color options, you can now choose the look and feel that suits you best.
How It Works
By default, the website loads in "Normal" mode, offering a balanced and visually pleasing experience. However, for those who prefer different aesthetics, I've added a toggle button in the header that lets you switch between "Light" and "Dark" modes. These options provide a more personalized browsing experience, whether you prefer a bright, clean look or a darker, more muted one.
Restoring the Normal Design
Once you toggle to either "Light" or "Dark" mode, these settings will remain until you decide to change them. However, I hope that some of you may prefer the original design. That's why I've also provided a button on the Info page to clear your selected mode and restore the default "Normal" design. () This way, you have complete control over your viewing experience.
Thank You for Your Feedback!
This feature was implemented based on valuable feedback from all of you. Your suggestions play a crucial role in shaping the website, and I appreciate the time you take to share your thoughts. Please continue to let me know how I can improve your experience, and I hope you enjoy this new addition!
Website Design and Content Updates
In my recent update, I've made significant changes to the website. These include a refreshed design—such as adjustments to font size—and updated content on several subpages to provide clearer and more transparent information. I've also addressed some minor display bugs and fixed broken links.
Advertising Earnings Update
I'd also like to share an update on my ad earnings. In the post from July 21st, I mentioned reaching an earnings milestone of €0.16. Now, one month later, my earnings have increased to €0.22, an increase of €0.06. At this rate, I'm on the path to riches (just kidding - sadly)! Interestingly, I need to accumulate at least €70 to cash out, which means it could take around 1163 months (approximately 96.92 years) to reach that goal... x.x
A Quick Apology
Sorry for the recent lack of updates—I've been swamped with other projects, work deadlines, and even an illness (yes, I caught COVID for the first time!). On top of that, I've been participating in a competition (Google AI Challenge) with my project Subtask AI. It's been a hectic time, but I'm excited to share more updates with you soon!
Updated Info Page
I got a bit stressed and Ill so I had a bit less time but.. I updated the Info page, so you know about the pages key features and about me (somehow ppl are so fixated about my League Rank..) I also ajusted the Performance a bit

Updated Champion Icons and Runes Display
I've refreshed the champion images on the page, now showcasing only the champions that are actively used. This update not only gives the icons a new look but also reduces the page's loading time, enhancing overall performance.
Additionally, I encountered an issue with the rune images after switching to the WebP format for better performance. This change inadvertently caused display problems for the runes. However, I've resolved the issue, and the runes are now properly displayed again.
Added Performance, Accessibility, and SEO Enhancements
In this update, I've focused on improving the performance, accessibility, and SEO of the page. These technical updates are crucial for enhancing the user experience and visibility on search engines. The improvements include compressing images, updating tags for better searchability on Google, and making design changes for better display.
Additionally, I've optimized images to load in more performance-oriented formats and minified the scripts before deployment. Both changes contribute to faster loading speeds. I also implemented caching for the images, which should further enhance performance.
Overall, while this update includes significant technical changes, everything is slowly starting to take its final shape. For Desktop, the only missing changes are the coloring for Background and Text. For Mobile, there seems to be a bit more things I will need to look into.

Updated Information and SEO Enhancements
I've fine-tuned the information for all champions. Due to the time-consuming nature of this task, I focused on key areas: removing duplicate information, merging similar details, and resolving any contradictions. I've also improved the categorization, providing overall information and tips in "Notes," actionable strategies in "To-Do," and things to avoid in "Not To Do." I hope this makes the content more detailed and easier to understand. If you have any feedback, please let me know!
Updates to Cookie Popup and Accessibility
I've added a "back" and "close" button to the cookie popup. If you don't accept the cookies and want to configure them, you can go back to the previous state to either accept all cookies or adjust the settings. If you have accepted the cookies, a small cookie icon will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This allows you to easily edit the cookie settings if you need to make changes or correct any previous selections. Additionally, there is a close button in the top-right corner of the popup for quick closure without saving changes.
I've also made some accessibility improvements. Over time, these updates will help users who have difficulty reading better interpret links and content with unclear goals. I hope these changes make the experience better for everyone! :)
Information About Ads
If you're a supporter and have accepted cookies for advertising, some ads will be displayed. I recently discovered Google's ad blocker popup feature and decided to give it a try. If you accept the ads cookies and have an ad blocker enabled, you'll see a popup asking you to disable the ad blocker.
Thank you for supporting my learning journey and contributing to my earnings. As of this month, Google reports that I've earned 0.16€! 😊
Updates to the Expand Button
Based on recent feedback, I've made some improvements to the expand button, which was noted to be unappealing and difficult to spot.
I agreed with the feedback regarding its appearance, so I've redesigned the button to enhance its look and updated its color for better visibility.
I hope you find these changes more to your liking and look forward to your feedback. Stay tuned for more updates!
Changes to Cookies
I've recently updated my Cookie Popup to provide a more customizable experience. You can now choose which types of cookies you'd like to accept, or opt out entirely — the choice is yours. You can also modify your preferences at any time in the cookie settings.
Alongside these updates, I've introduced a Cookie Notice page. This page provides detailed information about how cookies are used on my site.
Additionally, I've revamped the Privacy Notice page to better align with legal requirements and to make it more accessible to everyone, including those who might not be familiar with legal jargon.
Developer Note: If you could enable cookies for analytics, it would be greatly appreciated. While ads are nice, they are not necessary for the development of the site — they just help me learn and improve.
Update Info: YouTube Guides
Recently, I made some updates to the YouTube guides for specific matchups created by Rueven. Previously, I linked to the original videos, but I've now reuploaded them to my channel and updated the links accordingly. Of course, I've included all the information about the original creator in the description and provided links to the original videos.
Why did I do this? To ensure their availability. Over the years, I've seen valuable content vanish, and I don't want that to happen to these guide videos. If I come across more guides, I'll do the same. My intention is not to steal content but to preserve it for the community. I want us to keep learning from these resources, so I've taken steps to make sure they remain accessible.
Update Info: Runes
As one of the final milestones before the official release, I updated the runes. When you open the modal, you'll see the rune pages with the relevant options highlighted. In some cases, options may depend on the matchup, so instead of fully highlighting one choice, I've slightly highlighted both available options.
For now, I've created five rune types:
- - Vs Tank
- - Vs Bruiser
- - Vs Mage
- - Vs Poke
- - Default
If the runes button doesnt work for you, try to press "Shift+F5", this will hard-reload and so you use the newest code/scripts instead of the cached/old ones
Expanding Reach: Making the Infos Public
With already 50-150 users, I've released a post on the Riven subreddit to expand the reach of my page. I hope to help more people and gather valuable feedback!
Updated Infos
I have revised and updated the information provided for each matchup listed.
Many changes are based on guides, gameplay insights, and my personal experience.
My next steps involve further refining the information: removing duplicates, and clearly categorizing into "Notes", "To Do", and "Not To Do". Additionally, I plan to update the rune recommendations. Instead of displaying all options, I will highlight the recommended choices.
Google Ads
After putting a lot of effort into the page and learning more about cookies, I have added Google Ads.
If you accept cookies, you may see ads. I've placed them discreetly to minimize any disruption.
Soon, I'll update the cookie popup so you can choose what you accept. Please consider enabling analytics for the best experience with the information; everything else is optional.
Also, regarding ads, please note that I could earn money only if you click on them.
Info Changes
I have updated the information by adding new items and adjusting the difficulty levels.
Added New Matchups
With the new season, I've included matchups for Zac, Twisted Fate, and Udyr.
Info Changes
I've updated the information once again!
Now, the information is organized into a default and expandable section format.
By default, you'll see the Champion, Difficulty, and Gameplay Notes, along with an expand button.
Clicking the expand button reveals recommended Summoner Spells, Starting Items, Core Items, and Runes.
Info Changes
I've updated the information significantly! :D
I've aimed to make the information more compact so you can quickly access the relevant details. If you have any feedback on this, please reach out to me!
Additionally, I've added video links next to some champion names (currently for Camille, Gragas, Jax, and Poppy) with short matchup guides. Should I upload these videos myself and link to the originals? This would ensure 100% availability without concerns about the creators deleting them, although I want to respect their content.
Info Changes
I've made some updates to the titles, although you might not notice much difference there.
I've also refreshed the colors, buttons, and borders.
These changes are particularly beneficial for the mobile version, but you'll also notice them on desktop.
Alert
We've temporarily added an alert box to highlight recent changes and inform you about updates to our blog.
This alert box will be displayed for the next 1-2 weeks to ensure everyone is aware of the new features.
Thank you for your understanding!
Design and Info Changes
Design Changes: I adjusted the design for mobile display, focusing on improving the appearance of titles, and also refined the layout for desktop view. I hope these changes enhance your user experience.
Info Changes: I updated the notes, items, and summoners information. In future updates, I plan to further refine the information for each matchup.
Build Changes: Following a user recommendation, I'm considering adding an item build path. Recognizing its variability in-game, I aim to create a flexible "choice" build that offers multiple options for different situations. Look out for this in upcoming updates!
Google Analytics and Cookies
I've added Google Analytics and a cookie popup to the site. Google Analytics will help me understand how the page is used.
I aim to be transparent. You can find detailed information on the privacy page. In short, Google Analytics provides data on page views, similar to YouTube views for a video (minus the money part!). No personal data is collected.
Your acceptance of cookies would be appreciated. If you decline, Google Analytics won't load, and I won't receive usage data.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message!
Blog Info Updates
I have added information for the following champions: Rengar and Sion.
Search Functionality Update
I have fixed the search function so that every champion added to the page is now searchable.
Design Updates
While design isn't my strongest suit, I'm putting effort into improving it.
I've aimed to create a more cohesive look for better initial impact. Additionally, I've softened the colors for a more pleasant visual experience.
Next, I plan to enhance the search functionality, optimize the layout of runes and notes, and ensure they are easier to understand!
Introducing the "Blog"
Recently, I've been updating all my pages and streamlining their design, including my Riven Matchup Guide!
I've noticed that it's not always clear when or if I update champion information here. Managing this alone can be challenging since I have a life also called "other projects I always wanted to complete and sleep" (not paid, unfortunately, and not desperate for it... yeah xD).
Therefore, I'm excited to introduce a new feature: the Blog! Here, I'll aim to post about any future changes, updates, or new champion information. Whenever I make updates here, I'll make sure to share them on the blog!
