New Computer

I currently am using a work laptop to play League of Legends. It's a MacBook Mid 2012, 8GB RAM, Intel 4000 iGPU, Intel Dual-Core i7 2.9GHz, 13.3 inch. I can run the game perfectly fine on my Windows partition (because the Mac LoL client is horrid and laggy.) I am currently looking to upgrade my personal computer, and since my job has me integrated with OSX, I am considering buying a MacBook over a Razer. As much as I would love to get a Razer, being only an LoL player, I do not feel like the Razer is worth it for purely gaming. The MacBook Pro offers more job/gaming reliability I personally think. My question to the community is this, is getting a MacBook Pro 15", Quad-Core i7 2.5 GHz, Intel Iris Pro iGPU, 16GB RAM worth getting? Again, the main reason I am wanting Mac is for the OSX integration at work and in my field of work.

If that's your field of work, I'm inclined to say yes, though looking at those specs, I have the same over all (My GPU is better, Nvidia Geforce GTX 860m) For about 1200$, and 8gb RAM version of this laptop for 969$. If you're really set on the OSX, then I suppose it's worth it, though if you're any bit flexible to Windows OS then you would be able to get better performance with less money.
