Aaaand there goes linux support
Linux was never supported
Riot games official statement was that they were okay with linux players and actively went out of their way to make sure they didn't get banned unjustly. They didn't support linux as a software platform, which is why wine was required, but they did support linux players.
That's cool
so… they didn't support Linux. Got it.
I gave up League years ago when every update the launcher broke, then required some patches done to Wine. I'd known yhe kermel level anticheat would arrive someday but maybe I'm a little surprised it took as long as it did.
People that care about different things than you.
Difficult as it is to consider, I know.
Plenty of people do
Gold coming from someone with over 500 hours on tencent owned games. From my very brief digging and de-anglification of your name
Why are you explaining this to a random user from the instance on a random thread?
Because why would a random user not affiliated with the creation of the instance, therefore having no power over the spelling utilized in it, in anyway care
if we're gonna randomly pedant on people it's "anglicization". not that anyone cares.
I think you were looking for anglicisation the other is an Americanisation
that's a matter of dialect, both spellings are widely used and recognized as correct by english speakers the world over, versus "anglification" being entirely made up by one joker trying to flex how smart they are.
as an aside I really don't understand the pissing contest over minor spelling variations between the two major dialects of English (a large part of which, a devoted pedant must note, is merely bastardizations of French words), what gets me is stuff that's the same word for totally different things depending on where you are like chips, biscuit, thong, napkin, pants, etc.
