Notes
after the last time i played with the api and it was very long to get application approve back then, and the riot api limit is a nightmare for developer, this time it was
much faster and the response was positive!:)
what make the development a bit easier although i will recommend using some sort of caching mechanism, to avoid riot limit on a certain api.
https://github.com/niradler/lol-freeToPlay in my server i will query the api once in an hour, and then response from local data.
