BestBuild is a Wild Rift strategy platform created by Hanuari, a prominent YouTuber and Riot Games partner. As the UX/UI Designer on this project, my task was to revitalize the website. The main challenge was to bridge the significant gap between his successful YouTube channel (averaging 15,000 views per video) and his website (with only 20 daily visits on average).

Our first step involved a crucial workshop with Hanuari and his development team to understand their core concerns. Key pain points emerged directly from their perspective:

  1. 'The page isn't user-friendly, it needs better design'

  2. 'We believe it's difficult to access information. If people can't find it easily, they prefer going to YouTube.'


This confirmed critical failures in usability, information architecture, and aesthetics. These insights immediately guided my decision to conduct further user research and data analysis, pinpointing specific friction points hindering user engagement with existing website documentation.

I conducted a comprehensive analysis of the existing website, YouTube content, and user behavior, revealing several critical issues:

  • Overly complex information architecture hindered quick access to game information.

  • Visual design lacked alignment with Wild Rift's dynamic nature.

  • A significant disconnect existed between YouTube content strategy and website experience.

I initiated an exhaustive research phase, employing both quantitative and qualitative methods. This included:

  • An online survey with nearly 100 Wild Rift players (79% daily players), followed by

  • In-depth interviews with 8 hardcore and 5 casual players.

  • Competitive analysis of related gaming websites and mobile apps.


This comprehensive research led to the creation of three distinct user personas, with our primary focus on 'Alexa,' a Marketing professional seeking quick, reliable information to enhance her evening gameplay.
