A good internet speed for League of Legends is around 55mbps. Internet speed is important in League of Legends as it determines ping. The higher a player's ping is, the more they will lag or even disconnect from the game.
League of Legends does not require as much internet speed as many other games. Smaller online games require around 10 to 20mbps, while larger online games require around 25 to 50mbps.
A one-hour game of League of Legend holds at about 55mbps, but this data can drop to 40mbps and raise to around 70mbps throughout the game. League of Legends will almost never go past the 100mbps mark. As long as players do not download games or stream while playing the game, 30mbps will suffice.
