We're live! http://statbot.co/

I decided to just go ahead and post to the League of Legends subreddit to get a few people using the bot while I started building relationships with other people in order to capitalize on all the available channels. That went much better than expected and I had to instead spend the entire day answering redditers. Here is the reddit post. Reddit LeagueOfLegends subreddit Debut

I had to scale up 8x to support the usage. Reddit hugged me to death early on, but despite tutum being down/slow during this time, I managed to get everything up and running in a timely manner. During the first few hours I expanded to 6 additional regions with numerous requests for Garena servers.

The website itself was built using LaunchRock in a couple of hours. I used launchrock mostly not have to worry about multiple services to handle analytics, hosting, the mailing list, and the social side. In hind sight, I wouldn't use LaunchRock again as I could have gotten everything done in the same amount of time by hand, but it was an experience .
