I appreciate that Riot at least took the time to consider supporting Linux and explaining the situation to the community. Unfortunate that I won't be able to play League of Legends anymore but I guess there's not that much momentum behind a community of only ~800 daily users. Looking forward to switching to DotA.
They claim "we have never officially supported Linux" and then took a random day to point at how few people went through the effort of making it work anyway as their reason to not support it.
A random day months after announcing they would break it on Linux. I think the numbers before the Vanguard announcement would be far more representative.
DoTa is sooooo good! Never looked back :))
Sort of unfair when weirdly enough MacOS is ok tho, they didn't consider anything, simply decided not to.
