FAQ:

• Is this project now dead?

No, i'll be doing maintenance when it breaks, newer wine builds, newer packages, but only when stuff breaks, we are feature complete at this point.

• This project DOES NOT manage League of Legends installations that were done via Lutris or any other source, we do the installation ourselves and we handle our own installation and ONLY it.

• This project is both a installer and a launcher, i know, the name of the project is bad but it is what it is.

• Don't demand features in the bug tracker, open a pull request instead and contribute with code, depending of the amount of work i might be able to pull it off but if things get super complex or are super niche i won't be able to do it.

• The .svg icon that this application uses is provided by the papirus-icon-theme project
