While previously you've been able to play League of Legends on Linux, and there's some pretty die-hard fans using Wine to play it, that's set to end soon with Vanguard being introduced.
I appreciate that Riot at least took the time to consider supporting Linux and explaining the situation to the community. Unfortunate that I won’t be able to play League of Legends anymore but I guess there’s not that much momentum behind a community of only ~800 daily users. Looking forward to switching to DotA.
They claim “we have never officially supported Linux” and then took a random day to point at how few people went through the effort of making it work anyway as their reason to not support it.
A random day months after announcing they would break it on Linux. I think the numbers before the Vanguard announcement would be far more representative.

Sort of unfair when weirdly enough MacOS is ok tho, they didn’t consider anything, simply decided not to.
DoTa is sooooo good! Never looked back :))
