The "distributions" argument always smells like bullshit. Developers actually interested on supporting Linux usually stick to one or two distros of their choice. (Typically Ubuntu.)

Beyond that: I don't play LoL, but the fact that they need such an aggressive rootkit as anti-cheat hints poor game design. As in, why are your players so eager to cheat?

I'm guessing that people just like feeling superior to others and video games are a convenient outlet for that. There's no changing that via game design unless LoL ceases to be a competitive game.
