FAQ:

• This project DOES NOT manage League of Legends installations that were done via Lutris or any other source, we do the installation ourselves and we handle our own installation and ONLY it.

• Don't demand features in the bug tracker, open a pull request instead and contribute with code, depending of the amount of work i might be able to pull it off but if things get super complex or are super niche i won't be able to do it.
