Is Riot still using an Adobe Air client as a launcher for League of Legends?

They have a new client that doesn't used Adobe Air anymore.

When asked what technologies they use in the new client:

"HTML/JS/CSS for the UI, C++ for the core functionality. We're planning on publishing a deep dive blog on this during alpha, so make sure to keep your eyes out for it!" [1]

They have written and released a new client at the end of 2016. They use HTML, JavaScript and C++.

I don't think so. They just released a new client (might still be in beta, I have not logged in for months).
