There seem to be more and more unique gaming launchers to install every day, and many League of Legends players have long wondered if they can skip the Riot Games Launcher and just install League on Steam.
"They played like bots"
While it would certainly make it easier to click 'Play' for another ranked game, the answer will be disappointing for anyone looking to keep everything in one place.
No, you can’t play League on Steam. The only way to load up Riot’s popular MOBA and play games is through the official Riot Games Launcher, which houses all of the company’s titles—including VALORANT, TFT, and League.
League originally released on Steam for a time when it first launched, with interested players able to purchase the Digital Collector's Edition on Valve's platform. This included 20 champions, free runes (for the old rune pages), and an exclusive Black Alistair skin that has not been re-released.
