I've looked around a little, and found some mentions of using Lutris, or running it through Steam (tbh I don't know how that would work), but I'm not really able to find any guide that explains the process well enough. I'm so used to the game being handled by Blizzard's Battle.net launcher, so I can't really wrap my head around how that would work.

yep I was going to say this too. actual retail takes a lot to get working, but I play on a small private server and Proton just runs it all flawlessly.

set it up in minutes.

It’s not even the game itself that’s a problem. It’s the shitty battle.net launcher that people always struggle to get working properly.
