About Climb Sensei

Why it exists

Most build advice online is worked out from high-rank games, because that is where the cleanest data is. But most people do not play in high-rank games, and the build that wins up there is not always the build that wins where you are.

Climb Sensei measures each rank on its own and shows you the answer for yours. That is the whole idea.

What it gives you

• The items to buy for any champion, and the order to buy them in.
• Which runes and summoner spells to take.
• The order to put points into abilities.
• What to change when the enemy team is built a certain way.
• A tier list for every role, and a separate one for ARAM.
• How a champion does differently from Iron up to Challenger.

All of it is free, and all of it works without an account. The numbers behind it are explained on How we test.

Who makes it

Climb Sensei is a small independent project, built and run by Graham Wiebe in Alberta, Canada. It is not a company with a support department; it is one person who plays the game and got tired of build pages that were written for somebody else’s rank.

How it is paid for

It is not, yet. There are no adverts on this site, no tracking, and nothing for sale. If that ever changes, the change will be announced plainly on this page before it happens, and the build advice on the website will stay free.

Riot Games

Climb Sensei uses Riot’s public developer API and follows Riot’s developer policies. It is an independent product and has no connection to Riot Games.

It is purely informational and educational. It does not automate any part of the game, does not act on the game client on your behalf, and gives no mechanical or real-time advantage. It highlights decisions and offers you choices; the decision stays yours.
