I am by no means a super technical person, but it’s a fact that the instructions provided in the page about how to install league on my steamdeck did not work no matter how hard I tried.

What worked for me was essentially:

  1. Install lutris flatpak
  2. Download GE’s lol-wine version
  3. Manually download the league installer from rito’s site
  4. Manually invoke the downloaded wine executable to run the installer

.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-ge-lol-8.7-1-x86_64/bin/wine <installer>

  1. Let it install completely(login, download the entire game)

  2. Add it as an installed game in lutris.

Boom! A more portable way, no reason to be afraid that the next SteamOS update will break your installation.

You could probably modify the script a bit so that you create a custom wine prefix rather than use the default ~/.wine

    Thanks for sharing. Does Lutris not do nearly the same thing when just installing LoL directly?

      It should, but apparently a technical detail makes it fail, it’s probably easily fixable if one was to bother and look at it.

      I will consider it if I’ve time to spare.

      The guide generally speaking needs to be worked on, it lists alot of dependencies that need to be installed that are already installed in the steam deck.
