Does the firewall considers LoL as a malware?

I tried making a new rule for the firewall, by making all the required programs to accept all kinds of connection.  This was working for a while till a new update messed it up.  Maybe a new install is need for the moment.

The guys at riot games said that LoL crashes because of Windows Firewall.  Everytime I remove the rules of the firewall, the game just runs smoothly.
