Lolsumo is an app for League of Legends. The tool promises to improve your skills in LoL by providing you with statistics, replays, and detailed information about purchasable items. Leya tested the free version of the LoL app.
Lolsumo – Get better in League of Legends: This is the slogan for a LoL app from Dojo Madness designed to help you improve in LoL. The app uses a large pool of data to give you all the information about your past games and the upcoming match. Lolsumo calculates which items you should build during the upcoming battle, based on your data, ranking, and team composition.
In addition, it considers the past games of the opponents and their team composition. After the LoL match, you can take your time to review your performance report and observe how your performance changes. Currently, Lolsumo is in beta.
Lolsumo shows which items you should build for each match
In the screenshot, you can see what data Lolsumo provides before you start a game. In this case, I played Morgana as support.
The app shows me the opposing team at the top and indicates below which items are best for me in this specific composition and which abilities I should level first.
Lolsumo not only tells me which items are best suited for me but also which items I should have completed by which time. Additionally, the app shows how your opponents’ performances were with the respective champion in past matches.
After the match, you learn how well your performance was
After the round, my performance is evaluated, and I am ranked in one of the LoL ranks. In the image, you can see my statistics with Janna as support. For this match, I received a Platinum rank, which is made up of the individual values on the left side of the image.
The ranks in the respective categories are determined by calculating the average statistics of all players from the respective roles. Only the statistics of top laners are compared if you are playing a top laner or only the statistics of junglers if you are playing a jungler.
I am therefore compared to the average performance of a support and not with those of a Janna. I hope that one day the values of individual champs can be compared on average, as these can differ significantly from the values of the role.
Now I can see that my KDA values and gold income looked pretty good for this match. However, I still need to work on how many wards I place.
You should analyze these values individually for each LoL match because they cannot represent your complete performance. However, they are a good indicator of where improvement is needed.
Follow the pros with Lolsumo
With Lolsumo, you can follow professional LoL players and view their statistics and ratings in detail.
The pro feed looks just like your own. When you click the three dots at the top right, you get to the detailed performance presented earlier with Janna. Besides the pros, there is also a section where you can follow friends.
Conclusion on the LoL tool: Lolsumo is recommended, but you still have to think for yourself
Lolsumo is still in beta, and work is ongoing on features. Overall, the app ran smoothly for me, and I would definitely recommend trying it out.
Whether I improve in LoL through Lolsumo, I cannot yet judge, as I have only had the app for a week. However, I will continue to use it and see if I can observe an improvement in my performance over a longer period. One thing is clear: Even with the app, you have to approach each match with your own mind and make situational decisions about which skill or item benefits you the most at that moment.
I have often chosen a different order in the item build than what Lolsumo suggested when the course of the game required it. Nonetheless, I could gain good inspiration from it and found the timing information for the respective items particularly interesting. The statistics you receive after each match are a good indicator of how you compare to the average. They can also help you better filter your strengths and weaknesses and work on them.
So far, Lolsumo can only be used in English. According to the developers, a version in multiple languages is in the works. Lolsumo supports iOS, Android, and Web. I tested the free version of the app, which offers the functions I listed in the post. I think these functions are sufficient for the “normal” player. The pro version is available for €7.99 per month and offers even more detailed features. Whether these additional features are worth the money is something everyone must decide for themselves.
