In short, yes, you can play League of Legends on a Mac. Initially, when the popular MOBA launched in 2009, the developers at Riot Games released League of Legends as a Microsoft Windows exclusive.

As of 2013, however, Riot unveiled a Mac version of League of Legends that is also constantly receiving updates.

Downloading League of Legends on a Mac is quite simple. Just like downloading the game on a PC, you can visit the official League of Legends website and follow these steps:

  1. First, visit the official League of Legends website here
  2. After that, players who don’t have a League of Legends account will want to create an account. Those who already have a League of Legends account can just click on “already got an account”
  3. From there, find the Download Mac Installer just below the blue “Download for Windows” button
  4. That’s it! Once the file is done downloading, open it up and continue with the prompts

Once you’ve got League of Legends downloaded and installed on your Mac it’s time to get into the Summoner’s Rift where you won’t experience any shortness of fun. From the 160 champions there are to learn to the constant updates rolling around every month - whether you’re a new or returning player, there is much to enjoy in League of Legends.
