Hot Corners
The cursor hits screen corners constantly in League. Turn them off, or add a modifier key, under Desktop & Screen Saver.
Shake Mouse Pointer to Locate
Fast flicks blow the cursor up, and Riot says it can stall the game. It's under Accessibility, then Display.
Older Macs
Apple lists 8GB as the starting memory of the M1 MacBook Air, which matches Riot's line.
Intel Macs
They still launch League, but Riot's support now focuses on Apple silicon, and an Intel-only problem may not get fixed. On Intel MacBook Pros with two graphics chips, untick automatic graphics switching in Energy Saver.
Vanguard on a Mac
TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and Memory Integrity are Windows features, so none of the BIOS work applies on a Mac.
