The game assets feature provides a comprehensive catalog of League of Legends in-game collectibles including summoner icons and emotes.

​
Overview

Heimerdinger.lol’s asset browser allows users to:
  • Browse all summoner icons with high-quality images
  • Filter icons by esports teams, regions, and events
  • Explore summoner emotes
  • View detailed information about each asset
  • Search through thousands of icons and emotes

​
Routes

The asset features use multiple routes defined in routes/web.php:50-58: 
// Icons
Route::get('icons', static fn () => (new SummonerIconController)->index())->name('assets.icons.index');
Route::get('icon/{summonerIcon}', static fn (SummonerIcon $summonerIcon) => (new SummonerIconController)->show($summonerIcon))->name('assets.icons.show');

// Emotes
Route::get('emotes', static fn () => (new SummonerEmoteController)->index())->name('assets.emotes.index');

// Assets hub
Route::get('assets', static fn () => (new AssetsController)->index())->name('assets.index');

​
Summoner Icons

Summoner icons are profile pictures that players can display in League of Legends.

​
Icon Model

Icons are represented by the SummonerIcon model located at source/app/Models/SummonerIcon.php. Key properties include:
​
id
integer
Primary key
​
summoner_icon_id
integer
Riot Games API icon ID
​
title
string
Icon display name
​
image_url
string
CDN URL for the icon image
​
year_released
integer
default:"null"
Year the icon was released
​
is_legacy
boolean
Whether the icon is legacy (limited availability)

​
Esports Icons

Many summoner icons are tied to esports events and teams:
​
esports_team
string
default:"null"
Team abbreviation (e.g., “T1”, “G2”, “FNC”)
​
esports_region
string
default:"null"
Region code (e.g., “LCK”, “LEC”, “LCS”)
​
esports_event
string
default:"null"
Event name (e.g., “Worlds 2023”, “MSI 2024”)

​
Unique Identifiers

The SummonerIcon model uses two types of identifiers:
URL-friendly slug generated from the title
public function sluggable(): array
{
    return [
        'slug' => [
            'source' => ['title', 'sqid']
        ]
    ];
}
Example: t1-worlds-2023-abc123
The slug combines both the title and sqid to ensure uniqueness even for icons with identical titles.

​
Summoner Emotes

Emotes are animated expressions players can use in-game to communicate.

​
Emote Model

Emotes are represented by the SummonerEmote model located at source/app/Models/SummonerEmote.php: 
class SummonerEmote extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'emote_id',
        'emote_name',
        'inventory_icon',
    ];
}
​
emote_id
integer
Riot Games API emote ID
​
emote_name
string
Emote display name
​
inventory_icon
string
CDN URL for the emote image
The SummonerEmote model is minimal with no relationships, traits, or custom methods beyond basic fillable attributes.

​
Assets Hub

The assets hub (/assets) provides a central landing page for browsing all asset types:
  • Summoner Icons
  • Summoner Emotes
  • Navigation to champion skins
  • Links to other collectible features
The assets hub uses the AssetsController to aggregate and display links to all asset categories.

​
Image Sources

All asset images are served from the Community Dragon CDN:

Summoner Icons

High-resolution PNG images (typically 256x256)

Emotes

Animated or static images from inventory icons
