Does Riot plan on moving League to Vulkan or DirectX 12, maybe even DirectX 11?

I know DirectX 9 helps with older systems, but isn't Vulkan cross-platform compatible? Eventually, we could find League for Linux systems without having to use Wine or anything similar to emulate the Windows environment. Likewise, shouldn't implementing a new API make the game better? Are there any plans of this kind? With the beta client becoming more stable, I was wondering whether this might happen. :) Jax

I don't think they will. They would pretty much have to rebuild the game for it to happen.

Sure they could do it, but it would take a lot of resources and time to make it happen.

The only time I could see it happening is if they were planning to do an entire graphical rework. Not just the terrain, but the champions,effects, so on.
