Taking a screenshot in a League of Legends match is rather easy. Although you can use the good old print screen button, Riot Games has integrated another option to take LoL screenshots while you're in the Summoner's Rift. You might have plenty of reasons to take League of Legends screenshots, whether it be because of a custom game, a tough team fight, funny moments, or just playing a good game, here we'll show you how to take screenshots in League of Legends, from using the usual print screen button to one you might not know about.

Take a Screenshot Using the Print Screen Button
The first and most conventional way to take a screenshot when you're playing LoL is to use the Print Screen Button to save your League of Legends screenshots, but these won't save directly in the Riot Games folder, which is why you can't take multiple screenshots during a game and have them, you'll only have a capture of the last screenshot you did when playing League of Legends. Follow these steps to know how to.
Whenever you like, press the 'PrtScn' button on your keyboard.
Open Paint and press Ctrl + V on your keyboard.

PrtSc Vs F12
Despite having the same function, any general consensus can easily agree that F12 is better than using PrtSc when you play League of Legends with your friends. The reason for this is that if you want to take multiple screenshots of a game and actually have them saved in your League of Legends folder, you can't do that with PrtSc since you will be able to do only one at a time.
For what's worth, any of these two methods that you use are totally ok when you want to take a screenshot in League of Legends as you play with your friends, or alone. The only thing you have to keep in mind is which one you want to use according to your needs, that way, you don't stress about taking too many screenshots with F12, or capturing the precise moment of a match with PrtSc.
