The "distributions" argument always smells like bullshit. Developers actually interested on supporting Linux usually stick to one or two distros of their choice. (Typically Ubuntu.)

Beyond that: I don't play LoL, but the fact that they need such an aggressive rootkit as anti-cheat hints poor game design. As in, why are your players so eager to cheat?

Typical for a group of people that probably dedicated their whole careers to Windows. Could have just put it plainly that they don't want to pay engineers that have the skills to do this on Linux.
