iLoL will be the new and only working Mac client. It won't suffer any shutdowns like the old clients had, because we are using Wine right now, instead of Cider.
The problem with Wine on Mac is that Riot's own launcher won't work. That's why we had to implement our own launcher. This has also a huge benefit: We can deploy fixes/improvements on our own, without you needing to manually place files in weird places.
- The iLoL Launcher is written in Obj-C.
- The Game client uses Wine.
- The lobby (pvp.net) uses the native application as used in the previous Mac client.
- FPS will slightly increase. The annoying freezes are gone.
- PLAY CUSTOM GAMES EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAS PATCHED! This will avoid unwanted leaves or problems with your account.
