The tremendously popular MOBA League of Legends is now available to play on the Macintosh, with the open beta taking signups right now. Developers Riot Games say that the Mac’s client is “fully native,” which quite literally means it blends in with the locals or, in other words, has the same features and service as the PC client. If you’re a Mac player, you’ll benefit from the same bug fixes, updates and additions as everyone else, and at the same time.
