How to Download League of Legends on Steam Deck
First up, you'll need to boot your Steam Deck into Desktop Mode. Once there, download and install the Windows version of Steam. From there, use the built-in browser to go to the League of Legends website and download the game installer. Install LoL just as you would on a regular PC. When you're done, you can switch back to Gaming Mode and add League of Legends as a non-Steam game. Quick tip: If LoL doesn’t run smoothly right away, check if there are any compatibility settings in Steam that you can tweak.

Honestly, just don’t. League of Legends and the Steam Deck might not play nice without some serious tweaking. You’re better off playing games that are actually supported.
I got League of Legends running on my Steam Deck, and here’s the secret sauce: patience with the setup. The steps you read online are just the start. Expect to spend some time adjusting settings in both Steam and the game to get everything working just right. Once you do, though, it's pretty sweet to play LoL on the go.
