    I’ve looked through the forums and I’ve tried many different ways both posted on the loL community and on youtube, etc. None of them have been successful and are outdated. Is it still possible to download League of Legends on a mac even, or has that opportunity long since passed? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

    Hey guys, this fall i’m gonna move into college dorms and I’ve noticed that the wifi there sucks, and will be crappier when the fall semester starts and everyone uses it.
    I play league of legends and with crappy internet, league of legends in unplayable. Is it possible if I can set up my own internet connection in the dorms?

    I got rid of my WoW account a while ago but I heard this game (League of Legends) is pretty good. Would I like it if i used to be an avid WoW player? Also, is it free?

  7. I just bought a Macbook Pro, and I am wondering if the online game League of Legends can be downloaded on it. My brother tells me it can’t, but I did a little digging and discovered that you can by running it off of something called boot-camp? As you can tell, this is my first Mac :)
    Anyways, if you can download the game, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  8. I have a apple desktop, i want to download league of legends, Is that work on apple, If work how can i find web?

  9. I play league of legends last time, i use 2 days times to download it, cause i don’t want my mom and dad know. so i want to download fastest so i can play.

  10. Please provide as much info as you can. If There is a state law, let me know please. Thanks.
    i would like to know for the state of PA

  11. from a Fuji Finepix 5100 and it is great for general use. However the bulk of its is within hockey areas and it just dosn’t get the job done under those lighting conditions. The image becomes blurred as you follow the action of the game with the 5100 fastest F-stop. We need a camera that will “track action ” well.

    I don’t have the $1000.00 for the Nikon which will really do the job and after a shoulder injury weight is an issue. Will the smaller lighter Sony so the job or is there another make or model under $500.00 you would suggest?

    I also like the feel of the old SLRs in my hand so does my husband. We are not looking for one of the tiny boxy cameras, they are nice, but we want the new baby to have more of the look and feel of the Sony or the Fjui.

    -canon powershot SX10 IS
    -Sony cyber-shot H50
    -Nikon coolpix P80

    Thanks

    P.S. price does not matter
