League of Legends does work but it's painful. I use an AUR package called leagueoflegends-git which was the only way I could get it to work on my setup.
https://leagueoflinux.org/ has been invaluable. It used to be a subreddit but it's been made private since the API debacle.
I disagree on the painful part. The lutris install is basically 1-click.
Well, painful for me. I tried Lutris, Bottles and native Wine and none worked. I played around with wine-lol for a bit too but the AUR package was the one that got it working.
Well, I guess that is exactly the problem: No guarantee that some method will work.
Yeah, I used Lutris a couple years ago and it worked pretty well. I don't like League much, but it worked well enough for my friend to play a few games with me to show me how to play.
