League-Champion-Discord-Bot

What is this application?

This application is a discord bot that allows for the randomization of items, roles, and champions for League of Legends.

The application integrates the Orianna API, to get information from the Riot Games Data Dragon database.

Choice of programming language

This application was written using Java and compiled using Apache Maven for a couple of reasons:

• By developing in Java, we can make use of the Orianna API which makes the importing of data from Riot Games' Data Dragon Database very quick and error-free.
• Java has strong support for concurrency, which is important for a Discord bot that needs to handle multiple tasks and requests simultaneously.
• Apache Maven is a popular build automation tool for Java projects, which can help automate and streamline the build and deployment process for my bot.
• Maven provides support for dependency management, which can make it easier to include and manage third-party libraries and dependencies in my project.

Potential Improvements and Advancements
