Just Joined this forum. Tried to play a game with a few friends without knowing the issues, and now I have to sit there and watch my fiance's comp and watch my Yorik stand there in base while all my friends die :*(

We should just shut down Boompje Edition so that Riot stops hating us so much.
I read that iLoL should be ok with Riots legal issues.

What is the exact reason why riot doesn't support Mac users? This has always left me a little confused.

Few games support Mac because games require Direct X to run, something Mac doesn't have, and it takes time for them to develop a .dmg launcher/game interface in which case most game companies feel the number of Mac users outweigh the benefits, especially for a company who only makes profits by selling Riot points for users to buy skins (Least likely to be buying champions as you can unlock them with IP). Strictly speaking as well, most games are developed on Linux/Windows and that's usually an indicator on what OS the game will run on -- the difference is in the coding. As far as why they'd have a problem with this project....someone told me you're able to get free skins using this client to play the game?

they have a contract with Crossover Games which is a paid way to play LoL. They might be trying to block us out

They simply don't have the resources to maintain and patch a mac client in line with the windows version. That and they'll want to code a new mac client from scratch without involvement from a third party (transgaming). But the mac community is a minority and from a corporate perspective they would concentrate on improving the windows client first over starting a new mac project.

Everyone who is registered here will automatically be mailed when we have a fix. Just registered when I saw this. Thank you, Boompje ^ This. Also wanted to say thanks guys for allowing me to game for as long as you have on LoL without issue. Has been running smoothly until the new patch (not anyone's fault obviously) hope you can figure it out soon

Thanks a lot for trying guys. What I don't understand though, is why Riot doesn't hire you guys to make the Mac client. Obviously a ton of people play it, and with your help, it could be amazing. It really just makes no sense to me why Riot wouldn't want more subscribers and $$$. It's bullshit. Again, thank you so much for what you're doing and good luck.
