there is a guide for playing league of legends on linux, you can find it here: https://leagueoflinux.org/install/, also, riot is conscious that there are people playing on wine, due to that their anticheat doesnt detect wine players as hackers: https://leagueoflinux.org/faq/, and about my desktop, here is the config: https://lemmy.world/post/6869753

I installed it using Lutris (flatpak) some time ago and it works flawlessly. The only problem was during the installation where it freezes and you have to end process RiotClient.exe for it to finish, but apart from that it's amazing how good it works.

Nope, the LoL anticheat doesn't ban Linux players, and it's acknowledged by developers, so it's safe to play.

Oh I didn't know they were aware of that, awesome!

I've been playing League on Linux for over 2 years now, haven't had an issue. There's a whole community about it too at leagueoflinux.org

well, someone was playing over a 56k connection (not me), and it ended in a remake, but those 5 minutes felt so smooth

Yeah have played league for over 200 hours on Linux but for the love of god I hate that game 😂 (and I uninstalled it recently)
