Playing LoL through USB Flash Drive?

Hey guys! I wanted to know if I can play league by downloading it from a USB flash drive. That way, I will be able to bring it to anywhere I have access to a computer to and not need an administrator password either. This would be useful to me if I'm at a public library or something. Thanks!

It's theoretically possible but practically you may run into some problems. First off League requires about GB of space, so first you gotta make sure to get a flash drive that big (not too hard). You would have to install all of the system files on the drive. I would be concerned that even if everything works you may still end up with a lot of lag because it would be reading off of the splash drive instead of the hard drive. I'm not an end all expert though, that's just what I would expect.

because USB reads and writes a lot slower your patching would be a lot slower and so would your loading speeds (getting into game)

Also, you would run into issues of the computers the game is running on needing certain files and dependencies, such as direct x (the league installer has you install such things during the league install process). Without such things, the game cannot run. Most library/school computers will not have these installed by default because these computers don't really need to run games.

in other words, the only truly portable version of league would be if you installed windows onto a flash drive, and then league into that. This would only work if the computers had low security, and you would be able to restart, and then choose your usb as the device to boot into.
