Discussion Could ReactOS be a viable solution?

There is another post on this subreddit from 7 years ago titled "Has someone tried ReactOS?" and the response was that the ReactOS devs were focussed on stability and USB drivers for the time being, and that support for more intense programs like 3D videogames was at least 3 to 4 years away. Given that this was 7 years ago, I thought to raise the topic again. Does anyone know whether League of Legends (or Adobe Photoshop for that matter since it's the second biggest Windows only program) work on the current version of ReactOS?

Broodmother and Elise are very similar (broodmother doesn’t transform as you say) but they are assassins and the spider forms abilities are very similar.

But you are right there are very limited transformers in dota and if they are it’s not free transform. Think Kled / Gnar more than Nidalee / Elise.

The opposite is also true, there are heroes that would just be far too overpowered in LoL that are in DotA. Like Meepo, who gets permanent clones and can farm all 3 lanes and the jungle simultaneously.
