Editorial Policy
Last reviewed: 2026-07-18
This policy explains how lolchampions.gg separates sourced game data, editorial judgement, visual curation, and commercial activity.
Source hierarchy
- Primary game data: Riot Games Data Dragon for champion identifiers, roles, lore, abilities, stats, skins, and official images.
- Patch information: Riot Games patch notes or other clearly named primary sources.
- Editorial guidance: site-authored explanations that distinguish opinion or curation from sourced facts.
- Fan art: the creator, source, license, or permission record attached to the local asset metadata.
Curation and rankings
Featured media is selected editorially for champion variety, visual clarity, and useful links into the champion database. It is not a live popularity chart. The site does not publish invented view, like, save, or download counts. A page using words such as “best,” “top,” or “recommended” must explain the criteria or be relabelled as a curated or featured selection.
Updates and reproducibility
Generated pages use a pinned Data Dragon snapshot and a fixed build date. This makes the output reproducible and prevents an unnoticed upstream data change from rewriting the site. Material guide changes should update the visible date and retain source links where appropriate.
Corrections and rights requests
Factual corrections are checked against the strongest available source. Creator-credit, license, or permission concerns are treated as priority corrections. Contact the site profile on Reddit with the page URL and supporting information.
Advertising and affiliates
Advertising and affiliate relationships do not change game data or editorial conclusions. Ads must remain visually separate from navigation and action controls. Affiliate relationships should be disclosed where they are relevant, and a commercial link should not be described as an independent recommendation without supporting evaluation.
