Keep the climb
How might ranked games become a shared record instead of disappearing into match history?

OVERVIEW
A Discord bot for a League of Legends squad. It tracks ranked Solo/Duo games and records the climb.
WHAT I OWNED
- Built ranked-match tracking and the Discord recaps.
- Built the private dashboard and its five-minute export.
- Added squad goals, rivalries and fake-points markets.
- Built Rewind with an account-specific year-end recap.
OBJECTIVES
Reconcile the result
How might late data become one recap, without duplicates or stale results?
Make it social
How might the reaction around a result become part of the game?
HOW THEY BECAME FEATURES
WHY?
Riot and OP.GG expose different parts of the result at different times.
DESIGN DECISIONS
- Detect the result, then reconcile the LP.
- Limit stale recaps and protect against duplicate events.
- Lock processing per game.
TRADEOFF
A result can arrive before its LP update. The recap has to allow for that.
WHY?
The useful part is the reaction around the result.
DESIGN DECISIONS
- Keep betting to fictional points. No real money.
- Treat remakes under two minutes as draws.
- Void related markets and refund their stakes.
TRADEOFF
A remake has no winning side. The market is voided instead of paying out a win.
WHY?
I built this for one small, private Discord squad.
DESIGN DECISIONS
- Keep JSON as the bot’s source of truth.
- Split the growing monolith into modules so I could add features without breaking unrelated behaviour.
TRADEOFF
More users, guilds, history or concurrency would make a database migration worthwhile.
AFTER EVERY GAME
- Solo Recap
- One player’s rank, LP change and match performance, with team and full scoreboard views.
- Duo Recap
- The recap brings the squad’s rank, LP changes and combined performance into one message.
- Player details / Teams
- Player pages show KDA, CS, damage, gold and vision; team scoreboards show every champion’s kills, deaths, assists and damage.
- Queue Beacon
- While they play, see the squad’s champions, streams and watcher intent: backing WIN, backing LOSE or just watching.

HOW IT WORKS
- Game happens
- Sisyphus detects the result
- LP and recap
- Squad reacts, fictional bets settle
- History accumulates
- Dashboard explores it
Remakes under two minutes count as draws; other result codes become wins, losses or draws, with LP movement resolving draw codes.
def outcome(participant, seconds, delta=None):
if 0 < seconds < 120:
return "DRAW"
code = str(participant.get("result_code") or "").upper()
if code == "WIN":
return "WIN"
if code in {"LOSE", "LOSS", "DEFEAT"}:
return "LOSS"
if code in {"DRAW", "TIE", "REMAKE", "VOID"}:
return "WIN" if delta and delta > 0 else "LOSS" if delta and delta < 0 else "DRAW"
return None
THE POINTS MARKET
- Markets
- A linked player or an admin can open a market on that player’s next ranked game for the server to bet on.
- Bet
- Back WIN or LOSE with 10–500 points at the market’s odds.
- Wallet
- Start with 5,000 points; a winning bet pays the stake multiplied by its odds, rounded to whole points.
- These are fake points, not money.
Sisyphus Squad#points-market
✅ Bet placed on
m1: WIN 100 pts at 1.73PUSHING TOGETHER
- Squad Goals
- Work towards weekly targets for wins, games, unique champions, positive LP days or a winning streak.
- Friendly Rivalries
- Compare two linked players’ LP, wins and games for the week.
- Boulder Archive
- Keep the squad’s records, from highest damage to fastest win.
THE BOULDER CHRONICLE
- Squad LP trajectories
- The squad’s LP record and recent match form, together.
- Players
- The Players view shows rank, LP history, and recent results for one tracked player.
WHERE IT STANDS
- Used by
- 9 people in one Discord squad.
- Games watched
- 1,507 ranked games, as of Nov 13, 2026.
- Live since
- May 19, 2026.
- Operations
- I administer the bot and dashboard, including process locking, health checks and backup validation.
- AI boundary
- Mistral can summarize Git commits into changelog text. It does not drive tracking, LP, betting or odds.
- Limits
- JSON still holds the bot’s state. More users, guilds, history or concurrency would make a database worthwhile.
