Changelog

What's new in Warded.

Every release, every fix. We ship small, often, and openly.

v1.1.0 — Sharper prompts, new pricing

Full rewrite of the four AI prompts for consistency between champ select and game start (no more contradictions). Optimal role assignment via brute-force (Tahm Kench no longer steals TOP from Irelia). New items disk cache + auto-refresh on patch. New pricing: Free gets the 2 core moments at 3/day, Premium unlocks everything else.

  • FeatureNew · Plan rework — Free: champ select + game start matchup (3/day). Premium: unlimited + 10-min update, post-game review, AI Help, pool analyzer.
  • FeatureNew · Daily quota badge in header — see your remaining Free analyses at a glance.
  • FeatureNew · Counter items DB — AI is told the enemy's mechanics (heal AP, burst AD, CC heavy, etc.) and proposes specific counter items.
  • FeatureNew · Post-game review now compares your stats to numbered goals (CS/min, vision, deaths timing) — no more "your CS was correct" vagueness.
  • FeatureNew · Warded auto-pops to front when champ select starts — no more Alt+Tab.
  • FixFix · Items already in your inventory are never re-suggested in the 10-min update (was a real bug since 1.0).
  • FixFix · Items removed in 2024+ (Goredrinker, Stridebreaker pre-rework, Divine Sunderer…) are filtered out — AI never proposes ghost items.
  • FixFix · Optimal role assignment via brute-force — Tahm Kench correctly placed in SUP/TOP, no more Irelia stealing the wrong lane.
  • FixFix · 503 "Service temporarily unavailable" on long prompts — items list no longer injected, prompts trimmed to ~2500 chars, 3 retries with exponential backoff.
  • PerfPerf · Items disk cache (instant startup) + auto-refresh on new patch. Recurring patch check every 30 min for long sessions.
  • PerfPerf · Average AI input cost reduced by ~2x (smaller prompts) without losing quality.

v1.0.1 — Skills overlay & polish

New in-game skills overlay that shows your next ability to upgrade — 100% local, zero AI cost. Plus a smarter item parser that handles every item name variation, and a fix for the rare champ-select crash on first launch.

  • FeatureNew · Skills overlay — real ability icons + highlight on next to level (no Gemini call)
  • FeatureNew · Champ-select : allies' picks are removed from your pool (no more "play X" when X is already taken)
  • FeatureNew · Matchup assessment in-game (good/neutral/bad + how to play it)
  • FixFix · Items overlay icons now match every Gemini name variation (FR/EN dual lookup + smart parser)
  • FixFix · Overlays auto-hide when Alt+Tab away from League (no clutter on desktop)

v1.0 — Public launch

The launch. Full post-game review with real numbers from your game, multi-device license, refined champ-select trigger, bans-aware counter pick. Built and shipped solo.

  • FeatureNew · Bans-aware counter pick — never recommends a banned champion
  • FeatureNew · Multi-device license enforcement (1 active PC per subscription)
  • FixFix · Champ-select trigger now waits for max info before calling the AI (no more wrong lane guesses on multi-role champs)
