Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can run LoL on Linux
Not anymore:

Gross
Im still waiting on them deploying it. I have a windows installation that does not boot using uefi, and therefor can not run vanguard. So when they deploy it its finally bye bye league after 14 years haha
I'm so sorry...
Holly shit, after looking things up it's even worse than I thought...
Damn, Riot effectively turning PC into console...
Yup!
There is a youtube video about how even with the "best" anti cheat valorant has a huge cheating community. They are using ardruinos and secondary pcs to ai recognise the other players and simulate a mouse input via usb. (this is the high end cheating with a high cost) and even simple anti recoil scripts are possible without extra hardware.

Great*
Depending on how you look at it, that is what he said
In German, "gross" = "great"
It's not rolled out yet so currently still yes you can run n play it on Linux
I will never understand why so many people were just okay accepting all this invasive bullshit like Vanguard. There's so many games I just can't even consider because I refuse to implicitly tell game companies their unchecked behavior like this is acceptable.
These are fucking video games; there is no goddamn reason a glorified toy should have root or kernel-level access. It's wild to me the amount people who will accept anything, no questions asked.
I'm sure Hell Divers is fun, but it ain't worth it to me to find out.
I accept it if it means removing most cheaters from the game. Most people do.
Cheating sucks but a- people are still cheating in these games, b- there are just as effective anti-cheat strategies that don't require invasive access, c- cheating in a literal GAME is not enough of a real world issue to sacrifice real world privacy
Yes, there are versions of WINE and Proton that are specific to running LoL, but it's still somewhat of a headache to get running.
And then the headache of having LoL on your computer/life.
It's literally one click on Lutris.
Might be one click to install it, but it doesn't immediately start working after that, at least according to what I've seen. WINE and Proton work well in general, but I've seen problems when it comes to LoL specifically.
Not in my experience. Some patch are easier than other I guess.
Brb gonna make a commit to core to break LoL.
Used to be able to before vanguard. When I used SolusOS as my main OS it used to run better than on windows... Apart from the client but that didn't matter too much
Supposedly there is a way using a macOS emulator, since Vanguard hasn’t been ported to macOS yet
Which I believe doesn’t work on all GPUs.
