Would the game work better if riot made a 64 bit client instead of 32 bit? Im positive 90% of machines are now 64 bit. Im not saying create just 64 bit, leave 32 bit for 32 bit systems but would 64 bit client make any difference in gameplay?
Sailor Mint1 votesNot really. It wouldn't hurt to get a 64-bit version in the future, but the impact would be minimal. All it would really do is allow LoL to use more than 4GB RAM.
It's less about how many resources you can use and more about how you use them (optimization).
New Summoner's Rift is a good example. By only rendering viewable terrain and using neat texture tricks they've been able to cut the polygon count by over 20%(?).

Wouldnt 64 bit also mean it will process data faster thus making everything run smoother and faster?
Sailor Mint1 votesFrom what I've been reading and personal experience, 3D graphics based applications don't benefit from switching to 64-bit.
Most of the gains, if any, would be from the game running in native mode instead of 32-bit emulation.
