How to play League of Legends on a iPad?

Is there anyway on how to play League on my iPad? Please keep in mind that I do NOT want a streaming app, just want to play League on my iPad, like maybe a way to make a iPad run Windows 10 (PC)? Or something? Thanks! Could be via HDMI too, since I bought a thunderbolt to HDMI cable.

You would be terrible. This game pretty much requires a mouse.

But you did get me curious. Have you heard of parallels? I just confirmed it will run on iPad...

http://www.parallels.com/

This is the go-to program for running windows on a mac (at least it is for my circle of mac users). I have a lab-mate who uses this to use crystallography programs, graphics programs, etc. for things that won't run on his mac.

You will need to buy this and a license for Windows 10. The big issue is whether or not your iPad is powerful enough to run LoL while running parallels without crashing or dropping the FPS to unplayable highs. I would try to google around and make sure LoL will actually run on an iPad before spending money on that stuff, personally. You're the first person I've ever heard of to try.

Hm, I'll try it and to those who wonder why, is because it's just a experiment that I'd like to try out, if it works I'll let you guys know! :)

So that didn't work, but I bought and Thunderbolt to HDMI cable, is there a way to display your Mac on your iPad Via HDMI?

Well... my wife thinks you can configure an iPad as a second screen. That's about the best you can do, I'll bet. Then you would be better off anyway, because you would be using your mac's processor and graphics capabilites, and just using your iPad as a screen. That could work.

How so? How do you do that exactly?

There's a couple of apps. "Air Display 3" or "Duet Display." It sounds like there's a cable that comes with the iPad that can connect your mac to the ipad, which you'll need.

BUT BUT BUT it sounds like these may cause some lag, inherent to their process. I don't know of a way to test that without buying the apps. And if you buy it only to find out your game is significantly delayed, that would be sad. So again, proceed with caution.

I already tried both of those apps, that's why I bought a thunderbolt to HDMI cable thinking it'd make my iPad a high definition monitor without buying a real new one :(

... I'm pretty sure you can't install Windows 10 on an iPad. You could buy a tablet with Windows 10 on it, I would suspect you might even be able to get it working on some Android tablets, but not the iPad.

Ultimately, you're left with the question of "why?" What do you hope to gain by having League on a tablet? Honestly, I'd try steaming your desktop to your iPad and playing a custom game to see how it handles before trying anything else.

I actualy don't think a Ipad/Tablet is strong enouge to handle league of legends. It will probaly result into a laggy experience.
