How Much Data Does League of Legends Use?
According to posts on the Riot Games forums, players say a 30-40 minute game of League of Legends will use between 15 and 100 MB of data. Several variables can affect that total, from number of players to visual settings, but voice chat seems to be one of the most impactful factors. Using voice chat can up to triple the amount of data spent in a game of League of Legends.
To minimize your data usage, drop all your visual settings to as low as possible by turning off anti-aliasing, capping your frame-rate as low as you're comfortable, and knocking down all other visual fidelity options.
