What Is "Wasted on LoL"?
The concept was popularized by the League community as a way to calculate total time spent on LoL. The ironic
name "Wasted" is a playful nod to the time investment players make. It's used for fun, stats comparison, or
to evaluate your gaming "commitment."
How Our LoL Time Tracker Works
We read from Riot's API when available or estimate based on match history, game frequency, and average match
duration. Works across all regions: NA, EUW, EUNE, and more.

The more you play, the more accurate our estimates become. Some data might be unavailable if your profile is
set to private.
Example Output
