First Step with Riot API in C#

Question

I am learning C# and want to use the Riot API. I just want to receive that:

    {  
   "type":"champion",
   "version":"6.1.1",
   "data":{  
      "Thresh":{  
         "id":412,
         "key":"Thresh",
         "name":"Thresh",
         "title":"the Chain Warden"
      },
      "Aatrox":{  
         "id":266,
         "key":"Aatrox",
         "name":"Aatrox",
         "title":"the Darkin Blade"
      },...

I found this here: Deserialize JSON from Riot API C#

If you want to get the json string try this, this take a URL and tries to do the request and returns the response. You can find the url in the sandbox mode provided on the riot API site.

using System.Net;
using System.IO;
public string GET(string url)
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

        try
        {
            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            using (Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
            {
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8);
                return reader.ReadToEnd();
            }
        }
        catch (WebException ex)
        {
            WebResponse errorResponse = ex.Response;
            using (Stream responseStream = errorResponse.GetResponseStream())
            {
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8"));
                String errorText = reader.ReadToEnd();
            }
            throw;
        }
    }

This is the easy part :) mapping the response to a POCO is what annoys me the most. If anybody reads this and has a good solution plzz link me.
