I'm trying to work with the league of legends api to get a list of champions from [1]http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/6.24.1/data/en_GB/champion.json[1]: http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/6.24.1/data/en_GB/champion.json
this returns json like

I should be able to deserialize this like:
class ChampionService : BaseService
{
public List<Champion> GetChampions()
{
HttpWebRequest req = CreateRequest(ApiUrl);
HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
string json;
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream()))
{
json = reader.ReadToEnd();
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Champion>>(json);
}
}
}
If data were an array, my Champion class:
public class Champion
{
[JsonProperty("name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("key")]
public int Key { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("tags")]
public List<string> tags { get; set; }
}
However because the api returns the data object containing more objects it cannot be treated like an array and so this wont work. Is there a good way to make this work?
