Update to newer wine-lol version
Those who cannot start LOL after the 11.17 update check here:r/leagueoflinux for frequent updates regarding the game on linux
You can also refer toThe Garena Client is almost exclusively intended for Asia (Includes south, south-east, east, etc). If you do not belong to the aforementioned regions (Like NA, EU, etc.), Please use the Riot Client instead (What Lutris ships by default)
This is the way I personally use to start LOL on Linux, through Lutris. The code for starting game without Lutris is still in the script though.

Install Garena and LOL from Lutris
Garena: https://lutris.net/games/garena/
Note for Garena: After installing Garena, do not login, close the window
Install LOL from Garena
Open Garena from lutris and install LOL like you normally do on Windows.
Also, enable Disable proxy when browsing for better Garena experience (it sucks by default)
-
Change the installation directory
Open the Wine Prefix directory (where your Garena is actually installed)
For ex: /home/nhubao/Games/garena-vn/drive_c
Create a new folder there, name it as you wish. For my case, I befittingly named it "fuck u garena"
The directory for the newly created folder should be something like the following example
/home/nhubao/Games/garena-vn/drive_c/fuck u garena
Now, open the Garena Client via Lutris and change the installation directory for LoL
Garena Client --> League of Legends --> Wrench icon (in the bottom left of the page) --> Locate Game Files --> Change --> Locate the directory to the newly created folder
Now click Install and it should now start installing!
-
Alternative Method For Installing LoL
If for some reason the installation doesn't complete via the Garena Client, try the folllowing method:-
- Head over to this link (If you wish to use the English language) Or use this link (If you wish to use the Vietnamese version
If you wish to inform us about different language options, please raise an issue and we will add it!
- Click on Game Download
-
Save the file and wait for it to install
-
Extract the folder into the directory where the game is supposed to be installed by Garena
For Ex: /home/nhubao/Games/garena-vn/drive_c/fuck u garena
-
Head over to Lutris, select the Garena client and under the options for Wine, select Run EXE inside Wine Prefix
-
You will now be prompted by an installer which will extract all the game assets, click Next and the installation should begin
- This is how it should look like now!
Note: It may take a few minutes to start, give it some time, it may show the Play option again, just ignore it.
