Arrr, install League safely

Five clear th' deck steps

From haul aboard to tutorial

Th' installer can change over time. Riot’s present screen and support instructions remain authoritative.

  1. 1
    Arrr, official source

    Unfurl Riot’s official haul aboard chart

    Use Riot’s website rather than a mirror, repackaged installer or haul aboard offered in chat. Pick th' Windows or Mac installer there.

  2. 2
    Yer sailor record

    Create or sign in to yer Riot sailor record

    Use an email address ye control, protect th' sailor record, and pick th' region in which ye expect to play wit' friends.

  3. 3
    Installation

    Run th' installer Riot provides

    Use Riot’s Windows or Mac installer, then choose an install location wit' comfortable free space while th' Riot Client downloads th' required components.

  4. 4
    Arrr, windows only

    Arrr, restart when Riot asks

    League on Windows uses Riot Vanguard. A restart may be required afore its services and th' battle can run normally; this Vanguard step does nay describe th' Mac installation course.

  5. 5
    First aboard clash

    Shipshape th' tutorial first aboard

    Study th' charts fer movement, attacks, tricks and th' shop afore entering a sailor queue. Co-op vs AI be a useful next aboard step.

Afore pressing Install

Arrr, three choices worth checking

Two-minute inspect
Arrr, can this computer run it?

Inspect Riot’s present requirements

Supported systems and hardware can change. Mac users should inspect th' listed macOS version, processor and Metal-compatible graphics rather than assuming every Mac can run League.

Spy official requirements
Where will ye play?

Pick th' right region

Region affects which friends and queues ye can join. An NA sailor record and an EUW sailor record be separate battle identities even when one person controls both.

Understand regional sailor records

Arrr, when setup fails

Use th' right support course

VRC.LOL can explain our guides and Companion. Riot Support controls Riot sailor records, battle installation, Vanguard, repair tools and client errors.
