I still don't understand why Riot is so against Mac players playing their game. I mean, we're pretty much fighting tooth and nail to be able to play it, we're obviously a large enough demographic to count. I mean I actually went to the 'Members' page a second ago. There are 201 Pages of members and with 30 members per page that's around 6000 players all wanting to play League of Legends on their Macs, WILLING to technically break the law in order to play the game. In fact, a good handful of us might have even spent money at Riot to buy Skins (I haven't but I've thought about it). It just bothers me. :/ Well in any case it seems like we've got some very intelligent people on our team who're coding and fixing and [insert tech term here] as hard as they can so... Well, I'm pretty sure they can handle whatever Riot throws at us. We should really send Riot a letter. A. We have purchased Riot Points; we are paying customers of Riot Games. B. They have allowed us to purchase Riot Points via our Mac Client. C. They continue to allow, somehow, access to the store, but not access to the game. D. By not supporting the paying Mac customers that they have previously allowed, they are blocking access to the virtual goods which we have purchased. These are grounds for a class action lawsuit. No joke. A letter should suffice, but just so we know. Actually, it isn't grounds for a lawsuit, because they compensated every Mac user who had purchased RP via the Mac OSX Client with the opportunity to either receive back their RP (in which case, they lost all the skins- including Legendary ones) that they had previously purchased OR to get a Champion package (which I did receive) that would normally cost quite a bit of RP (I think I got like 15 champions as a result of that). Though we were compensated AFTER the Client was closed, they did tell us that they were closing the Client about 3 days before they did (which was ridiculous that it wasn't longer, but we were given notification before it blacked out). They haven't blocked your access to it from Windows while on a Mac, just using the Mac Client. Technically, by playing on this Client, we are violating our ToU Agreement that comes with each and every update. Not a big deal in my book since you practically need a lawyer to interpret the language in those things, anyways. I agree that with 20% of the computer world being operated on a Mac, they are potentially losing 1/5 of their customer base. Apparently, they're content with alienating that 20% and sticking to the 80% so long as the 80% continue to purchase RP.

I doubt that a letter would be able to "change" anything (mostly because of the reasons frostmourne mentioned above)
