So for a while now mac has bin having problems on league, lately some of you may have noticed audio problems with some champions and its not the champions but the league audio itself, even worse that when you hear the audio all cracked up and nasty your ping shoots up and your frames shoot down. Best thing to do is mute the master volume, its stopped my lagg sadly i hate playing this way because i can't hear anything witch throws me off a bit i hope riot addresses these problems for mac users.

Heya Ironskull00!

Thanks for the report! We are aware of the issue and are working to get this resolved ASAP.

I know this isnt a fix, but ive had to resort to partition my hard drive and installing windows, the client works better but it shouldnt have to be that all that effort is needed to play league. Why can't we all just be treated equal? (PC/Mac) - Setzal EUW

I am very disappointed this was not resolved in that latest patch. Riot please help the mac client users feel like you actually care about us.

I've been having the same issue, however it has turned into full game choppiness by now. At first I thought it was my headphones, then my sound card, then perhaps anything running on the computer. None of these were the case. It wasn't until I searched the issue that I found out other mac users were having the same issue. It's not entirely fair that our games have to suffer because of a mac bug, while windows users are practically unaffected. Honestly, instead of asking for our computer specs, riot should actually apologize and give out free skins or something to affected users. We did nothing to cause this, neither did our computers, and It has effected our game play. Please riot fix this!

I have this problem too but I easily fix it by restarting the game. After I load back in the choppy sound and lag is gone. Like so people can see!

FOUND FIX TLDR AT END

i own a 2015 macbook pro 15" and been getting this problem too however i have found fix for this the issue is for some reason once lol game starts (matchup loading screen) and a speaker,ear/head phone of any sort is comnected the games audio system will halt. this is only temporary fix but it helps me alot:

  1. check if any speakers or audio device is used with your mac 2.if any (wired wireless or bluetooth) is connect disconnect them all (remove jack from audio port, usb dongle for wireless headset or turn off bluetooth for bt audio device). 3.anytime you want to play league connect that audio device before loading screen or when everyone locked in and game is in count down. 4.if already in game and still want to use audio device, either when game only started or you have long respawn time exit game, connect device and reconnect to the game via client(no need to close it). 5.if noy working restart game (not client tho you can).

TLDR: if want to use any type of ear/headphone or speaker connect them before in matchup loading screen. if already in game found spare time to exit game(not client), connect audio and reconnect to game.

very long answer sorry. even tldr is like 30 necond read. if ive helped and you want to thank me for it then gift rp to Jesuschen at oceania server.

i dont even like apple. i hatem as much as yasuo hates riven. u can use windows on mac btw btw yall demand free skin from riot when its clearly apples fault bbtw yall brought these 2-5k machine cause they had a nice look and feel, and showoff ablity. even if you guys didnt the point is you all getting ripped off to point of no return, the specs in macs are literally shitfire compare to windows lappy at same price. damn some of em even better looking now. dont get me started on os x i aint a fanboi for any corporation. they all treat up like dirt. apple just happens to be manifestion of evils of capitalism that treats your wallet as dirt. and hella godlike marketing (low on feature=ease of use when infact windows10 pc is easier) finally this christmas i get to build my own pc(more powerful then a $4k mac at $800) and yea. pcmasterrace pls. at the last if you are still reading good on you.one lesson for you. dislike all corpration and know they all are tryna rip you off or most of them anyways. dont defend anyone espcially apple. it make you look like a hipster vaping vegan thirdwave femenazi politician. ps try my retarded op jg vayne build bloodrazor-bork-any shoe pends on situation-phatom dancer-essence reaver-runaans hurricane-100 kills cause u be shredding
