Original Post — Direct link

Hey guys,

I love to share this here with you, because I worked a lot on it. It is a post about how I accessed data from the Riot API (League of Legends) in R; Rstudio. It is a technical post, so a lot of code involved. I made this because it was my first time working with any API and coming from a not-technical background it was a interesting journey with a lot of difficulties. I think some that want to play with the API but hesitate to do so, can learn from it and overcome their fear. Later on, I want to get insight of the data with some explorative/descriptive analysis. For example, which champions profit the most of first blood in terms of winrate and or how affects first blood tower the winrates. You can find the full post here.

Cool visualizations using R and ggplot!

One thing I'd suggest is a URL library such as this so you don't need piece things together manually.

Out of curiosity, is R used at Riot? Or is it more of a "whichever tool prefered" culture?

We do use R sometimes. For example we want to run a statistical model but the model only exists in R.
