Currently, the team comp calculation is quite slow because it has to make A LOT of API calls to the Riot API. Most of the time is spent waiting on Riot's API to respond to our requests, which dwarfs the computational time required to process the data we get back.

Is there a way to reduce the number of API calls we have to make?

Sometimes we exceed the rate limit on Riot's API and we don't catch these errors properly.

This will result in the request to /championList never completing and the frontend stuck in the loading animation forever.

We should check if our requests to Riot API got rate limited and throw the error back to frontend.

We can also add some kind of timeout to avoid getting rate limited.
