No matter how many times I try, I keep getting this same message. It went from happening eight times out of ten, to every single time I log in. All I want to do is play some league, and it os becoming increasingly more frustrating when I can not do so. My internet connection is impeccable so I have no idea why this keeps happening. I have tried everything; reinstalling, fiddling with ports and even cleaning out my entire MacBook and nothing seems to work. If anybody has any idea what I can do to play league again I will be eternally grateful.

Not a MAC thing only, I can't connect to games since yesterday.

I'm afraid it's a deeper problem related to Mac OS. I, too, have a Mac, with the exact same problem.

Basically what Riot have said is that more recent operating systems (High Sierra for example) released by Apple are essentially incompatible with the game - but it IS possible to play if you are persistent. It's down to luck - sometimes I'm able to log on first or second attempt, but it has also taken me around 40 minutes of logging in, closing program, closing processes in activity monitor, and logging in again, over and over...

I fear that it will be like this for the foreseeable future, as Riot will naturally blame Apple, and Apple will ignore, or at best tell Riot to make their game compatible with MacOS. Apple do not give a crap, though - they are now a trillion dollar company and care not for your mortal concerns.

**FIXES:

Use BootCamp and play on Windows OS.
Another trick, which seems to kind of work (not my discovery, someone else's): login using a hotspot connection on your phone, then switch over to your regular connection once online. **

Try to go to System Preferences -> Security an Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility and then add LoL.app to the list and check the box. Maybe this could fix the problem!
