jQuery .each() & objects question

Hi,

I am currently creating a webpage where it will display League of Legends champion pictures. But I am stuck. This is for to personally get to know how to use loops and object better.

I made this object of some of the champions: 

var champions = [
    {name: "Aatrox"},
    {name: "Ahri"},
    {name: "Akali"},
    {name: "Alistar"},
    {name: "Amumu"},
    {name: "Anivia"}
];

And what I am trying to do with this is for each of the names I want to append a list item to my champions unordered list.

This is the jQuery that I have right now

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.each(champions, function(key, value) {
        console.log(value);
        $("#champions").append('<li><img src="http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/6.24.1/img/champion/' + value + '.png"></li>');
    });
});

The console.log(value) is giving me in the console "{name: "Aatrox"}" etc. but how would I just get "Aatrox" instead of {name: "Aatrox"} ?

I managed to figure it out. I was just missing .name at the end of the value. Something so simple but at least I figured it out!
