League of Legends in Chinese: Name, Server and Access

League of Legends in Chinese is 英雄联盟 — Yīngxióng Liánméng, literally "Heroes Alliance". That is the name it is published under in mainland China, on a client that is separate from the one the rest of the world downloads.

The Chinese client is a different product

Tencent operates the game in China rather than Riot doing it directly. That means its own launcher, its own servers, its own patch cadence and cosmetic differences — skeletal models and blood effects have been altered over the years to meet Chinese content rules.

You almost certainly cannot play on it

Registration requires a Tencent account tied to a Chinese identity: a QQ or WeChat login, a mainland phone number, and real-name verification against a Chinese national ID. Without a verified ID you are shut out of ranked entirely, and using someone else's identity breaks both Tencent's terms and Chinese law.

Switching your own client to Chinese

Language options are tied to your region, and simplified Chinese is not offered on Western servers. Traditional Chinese is the language of the Taiwan server. Changing a display language does not get you onto the mainland game.
