Warden reads the room.
Your champion, role, allies and queue type are detected directly from the League client.
A League of Legends companion for Windows. Warden reads your lock-in, shows the win rates behind the pick, and sets up runes, items, spells and augments in one click. Nothing else runs in the background.
BETA Warden is early access. It works every game, and it is still being shaped by the people running it. Build it with us in Discord ›

From queue to ready
Warden stays quiet until League of Legends needs it, then turns champ select into a clean, three-step flow.
Your champion, role, allies and queue type are detected directly from the League client.
Summoner's Rift builds, ARAM setups and Arena augments. Warden changes with the mode.
Import runes, item sets and summoner spells without overwriting anything you already use.
One client. Every queue.
Build advice only matters when it understands the game in front of you. Warden changes its entire recommendation model with the queue, across Summoner's Rift, ARAM and Arena.
Runes, summoner spells, skill order and item paths tuned for your champion and role.
PLAY PATTERN
The read behind the build
The build is the answer. The matchup is the question. Warden reads who you locked, then shows the win rates that recommendation came from: best lanes, toughest lanes, and the games behind each.
Lock in and Warden lays out the lanes your champion wins and the ones it doesn't, with the game count sitting next to each one. Find the pick you're up against and you know which lane you're walking into before the loading screen.
The idea is someone who stays with you past the loading screen and talks the game through while it happens: the wave about to crash, the trade that's actually there, the back you keep skipping.
Some games you want a coach calling the play. Some games you want the friend who loses it when the penta lands. You pick who's in your ear.
It isn't in the app yet, and this page will say so until it is.
Calm and specific. Calls the next play.
08:14Wave's crashing in eight. Trade now, then reset.
09:02Back on this one. You come out with boots and a component.
11:47Their jungler showed top thirty seconds ago. This is the window.
The friend who is genuinely losing it for you.
24:31That's three. THREE. Do not back out now.
24:38Penta. PENTA. Are you kidding me right now.
24:52Clip that. I'm serious, go clip it.
Watching along beside you. Low pressure, keeps you honest.
06:19You've been sitting on 900 gold for two minutes. Go shop.
15:04Their jungler has been bot side for a while now. Just saying.
21:38That one wasn't on you. Reset, take the next one.
Built like a utility, not a billboard
Private by default, light on resources, and current with the live patch. Warden is designed to disappear until your queue needs it.
No Warden account. No always-on upload, and recommendations run locally.
Fast to launch, quiet in the background, and small enough to forget about until queue pops.
No video panels, no banner stacks, no attention-tax popups between you and the information you opened Warden to see.
A nightly pipeline refreshes champions, items, runes and augments for the live patch. Warden keeps up so you don't have to.
How Warden compares to other League companions
Warden focuses on the moment that matters: turning a lock-in into a ready loadout without turning your desktop into a feed.

The core loop is done: Warden reads champ select, picks the build for the mode you're actually in, and imports it without touching your own pages. What it can't have yet is a few thousand games of everyone else's edge cases, and that's the part we can't write ourselves.
So the roadmap is open. Tell us the champion where the build reads wrong, the queue we handle badly, the thing you keep alt-tabbing for. We ship on patch cadence, and we'd rather argue about the right call in public than guess in private.
Free during the beta, free after it. No account for the app, and no account beyond Discord's own to talk to us.
Champ select detection, mode-aware builds, runes, summoner spells and augments, and one-click non-destructive import across Summoner's Rift, ARAM and Arena.
Windows 10 and newer only, with macOS not started yet. New champions and reworks take a few days of live games before the numbers behind a build are worth trusting.
Post the champion, queue and patch when a recommendation feels wrong. A build model changes on that kind of report far faster than on a star rating.
Decided in the open. The requests that keep coming back get built first, and the change log lands in Discord before it lands anywhere else.
Never. Warden creates clearly named rune pages and item sets of its own. It will not delete or overwrite anything it didn't create, so it can run safely alongside other tools.
Warden talks locally to the League client already running on your PC. It uses the client connection to understand champ select and to create your selected loadout. There is no Warden account and nothing to sign in to.
Warden uses the same local League client interfaces that other companion apps use, and everything it does is something you could do by hand in the client: read champ select, then create a rune page and an item set. It doesn't automate gameplay, read game memory or modify game files. We went through Riot's published League Client API policy line by line in a separate note on bans and third-party apps, including the one regional restriction most app pages leave out.
Yes, and it stays free. Most people land here after using Blitz, Mobalytics, op.gg or Porofessor and wanting something smaller and quieter. Warden covers the daily-driver features: mode-aware builds, one-click rune and item import, and augment rankings for Arena and ARAM. The installer is 26 MB, there are no ads, and there is no account. We put the full picture in an honest roundup of the companion apps, covering Blitz, Mobalytics, Porofessor and OP.GG Desktop one by one.
Yes. Warden switches its whole recommendation model with the queue. Summoner's Rift gets a full role-aware build with runes, summoner spells, skill order and item path. ARAM and Arena get augment rankings alongside the build, because augments are what actually decide those games. More on that in the ARAM and Arena note.
Most game data is the same for every player and can be delivered efficiently as static data. Optional premium features may arrive later, but Warden will stay clean and useful without ad clutter.
It means the core loop is finished and the edges are not. Warden detects champ select, recommends a build and imports it, every game, today. The feature list past that is still being decided, and calling it 1.0 before that settles would be pretending. Beta builds are free, and so is whatever comes after.
Our Discord. Post the champion, the queue and the patch, and it goes straight into the build model review. Feature requests land in the same place, and the ones that keep coming back get built first.
Windows 10 and newer are available now. macOS is planned after the Windows build reaches feature parity.
Warden uses the same local League client interfaces used by companion tools. It is an independent product and is not endorsed by Riot Games. It also runs standalone, with no Overwolf platform involved, which we cover in the no-Overwolf note.
Neither. Warden here is a free companion app for League of Legends, not the tank class, the item, the skin line or the TFT trait. It's a program you run on your PC: it reads champ select and imports builds and runes in one click.
