Possible to play on MacBook Air?

Since I can't afford a new computer and this one was given to me as a gift (so I can't sell it), I've been wondering whether this will run on my laptop. Please don't spam the comments saying that I should get a new computer. If I could, I would. Here are my specs below:

Processor: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
RAM: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

Thanks!

Sell it. Buy a new computer. Stick an apple sticker on your new computer as well as a baloon full of air, and hey presto a macbook air with power.

Seriously though. I have no idea. This game runs on a mac? Otherwise, but it, it is relatively cheap. See if it works. If it doesn't you can either try for a refund, or keep the game until you get another computer.

It should be able to work on low graphics in 1v1 and 2v2 games. But anything more and you might lag a bit.

Video card might not be enough.

You wouldn't start it neither. My advice is taking a good CPU , at least 8 GB of Ram , and at least a 2GB Gpu. If you can afford it, buy a SSD , it really worth!

My iMac plays it just fine with all settings set to max. I use Bootcamp and Windows 10.

Alright, thanks for the input guys. I guess that I'll be able to refund it if it doesn't work, anyway.

1.4GHz CPU? Hell I didn't think they made potatoes anymore.

Game won't run on that.

It will work on macs if you buy the right one. But that usually means paying an extra grand or 2 to get it. Will work with those graphics and you have enough ram. But your CPU is well, might make a CPU from 1999 look jealous but that's it.

Mac is a different client altogether and there are no plans for windows-mac crossplay. Best to just get a PC for games.

I just agree with everything they said.

Oh yeah for some reason this is the only game where Mac users can't play with windows users. Becuase they couldn't figure that out for some reason. Or are just plain stupid.

I wish I could get a new computer, but I need this one for work, and I don't have the time or money to buy a new one, since this one was a gift to me. But thanks for the help, anyway.
