Looks like the end of league of legends on Linux. Hopefully with the growing popularity we see some support in the future.
It’s an amazing game, but really hard to get into as a new player. And playing with friends of wildly different skill levels tends to ruin the experience.
If you play with experienced friends, you’ll quickly learn that the best way to win is to do nothing and effectively stay out of the way. You learn to minimize your negative effect on the game, which just isn’t a fun way to play.
If you play solo, you have to get beat down at least the first ten games until you get to a level with other new players and small children. Then you can spend the next 20 games learning until you can apply enough that the game starts to be fun.
LoL is the poster child for toxic community. The game is fantastic but it’s really not worth playing because the other people ruin the fun.
It really only takes one person to ruin a match and you’re always playing with 9 other people (in the “main” game mode). Because of the way ranking work, leaving early because of a troll actually punishes you so you are incentivized to stay in a game that you’re not enjoying. It makes people cranky and they tend to take it out on internet strangers.
And for some reason, only in LoL do they seem to feel free to use the most despicable language you can imagine.
Anyways, there are other games in the same genre if you want to try them. DOTA2 is the obvious one, though I personally think it’s a worse game than LoL. The Blizzard one was really good but it was shut down IIRC.
I’ve always wondered what LoL is like and if it’s any fun. Now I’ll never find out.
Its fun but the people who play it are the most irrational, angey and fucking miserable people you will encounter.

Fairly sure Heroes of the Storm is still playable, just not getting a ton of active development.
You’re not missing out on anything. One of the worst games I’ve ever played.
