A Porofessor alternative without ads or Overwolf
Porofessor is one of the best-known League of Legends apps, with 17.7 million downloads on Overwolf. It shows the rank, champion stats and tags of every player in your game. LazyElo covers the same phases of a game, from champ select to the post-game, but builds its advice from your own games and from lobbies at your elo. It shows no ads and doesn't run on Overwolf.

Since December 2025 Porofessor also comes as a standalone app that doesn't need the Overwolf client. That version is built on Electron, a browser engine, and is 99.8 MB. Both versions contain ads.

| Ads | Yes: the store listing says it contains ads. Premium removes them. Source: Porofessor on the Overwolf store | None, not in the app and not on this site. |
| Price | Free with ads. Premium removes the ads and adds premium features; we found no published price. Source: Porofessor on the Overwolf store | A free plan without ads.

| Champ select | Ban suggestions, counterpick tips and one-click import of builds, summoner spells and runes into the client. Source: porofessor.gg/download | The best champion from your own pool for this draft, with the reason: your win rate on it, the lane matchup and the team fit. It shows your build and runes; you set them yourself. |

No timers and no alerts: it never tracks when an enemy used an ability. |
| Post-game | Charts on your farming, fighting, vision and objectives, and a matchup review. Source: porofessor.gg/download | Review: every death on a map with what led up to it, three short questions per death and an if-then plan for Focus.

Source: Porofessor on the Overwolf store | In the Mayhem lobby, the strongest champion on your bench next to your own results. In game, what each card you're offered does and which champions it suits. Your Mayhem build in the overlay. |
| Measured RAM | About 1,000 MB during a game, with Overwolf, measured by iTero, a rival app (March 2026). Not a standard test. | 428 MB idle in the lobby, measured by us (version 0.13.1, Windows, 32 logical cores, October 27, 2026). 511 MB during a game, measured by us (version 0.13.1, Windows, 32 logical cores; 30 measurements, one a minute, over one game, October 27, 2026). |
The RAM numbers come from different tests on different PCs, so they are not a like-for-like comparison.
What Porofessor does better
Rune and build import
Porofessor puts your runes, summoner spells and build into the client with one click. LazyElo never changes anything in your client, so you copy the runes it shows yourself.
Source: porofessor.gg/download
Far more data
Porofessor has 17.7 million downloads and builds its stats from Riot's API over the last 30 days of normal and ranked games. LazyElo's shared tier lists rest on the games of a small group of players.
More help during the game
Jungle, objective and inhibitor timers, the team gold difference and a build overlay that tracks the gold to your next item. LazyElo's overlay shows what the TAB scoreboard shows, plus fixed ult cooldowns from the patch data.

What LazyElo does differently
Advice from your own games
In champ select LazyElo picks from the champions you play and says why: your win rate on it, the matchup in your lane and how it fits your team. Every figure shows how many games it rests on.
A scout that explains itself
Each player gets a score from rank, experience on the champion, form, KDA and farm, with the reasons. You also see premades, labels such as one-trick or autofill, where the enemy jungler usually starts and the AD/AP split of each team.
Learning between games
After each game you get a review against your own average on that champion. Focus gives you one goal per role with an if-then plan and checks after 15 games whether it worked.
No ads, anywhere
Not in the app, not in the lobby and not on this site.
Out of the game's way
A native Windows app without Overwolf or a browser engine. The overlay only draws scoreboard info and redraws twice a second, and nothing runs inside the game.
Light on your PC
What LazyElo asks of your PC: first what follows from how it is built, then what we measured. We only put a number here once we have measured it.
By design
Native, without Overwolf
A Windows app of its own. No Overwolf and no browser engine running next to your game.
No ads
Nothing in the app loads ads or ad videos, in the lobby or during a game.
A small overlay
The overlay is a separate see-through window. It only draws scoreboard info and redraws twice a second.
Nothing inside the game
LazyElo reads the client and the game's own live data through the local connections Riot provides. It never runs inside the game process and never reads game memory.

- FPS with and without LazyElo
- Measurement in progress
Our own measurements, on one PC. RAM is the working set Windows reports for LazyElo. The numbers during a game and an FPS test with and without LazyElo follow here; until then we make no claim about them.
Good to know before you switch
- Windows 10 and 11 only (64-bit). Mac and Linux are not supported.
- You need a free account, which you make yourself on the site in a minute.
- It never imports runes or builds into your client: it shows them and you set them yourself.
- The overlay needs the game in borderless or windowed mode.
- It is a hobby project by one player with a small group of users, so the shared tier lists rest on far fewer games than the big sites.
Try LazyElo next to your client
Free and without ads, for Windows 10 and 11. Install it, log in with your account, and it follows your next game from champ select to the post-game. It only reads: picking, locking and runes stay with you.
Free, version 0.15.0, 50 MB, for Windows 10 and 11
