It's just too bad that Riot seems so inherently against supporting Linux. I still enjoy playing ARAMs for watching YouTube on the side and the occasional Val session. Obviously for Val I can just boot over but I do play league about daily.

Inb4 "just don't play league, it's bad anyway" yeah thanks, solid solution

The good thing about Valorant is you can just play (the better) Counter Strike instead and it doesn't try to install a rootkit. I guess for LoL you could play one of the alternatives too, but I don't know if any if them are good. They aren't my thing.

Val was one of the reasons I still dual boot Win10 (plus VR gaming), but now that it released on PS5, I'd rather just relearn the game for controller.
