Memory 99% while playing LOL?

As manddy123 mentioned the % is relative to the amount of physical tam you have.
that said, if you assumed you had 8GB and say for example a 4gb stick went dead on you (ram or motherboard socket) then you would see your ram seemingly jumping in such a fashion.
1. check if you have the total physical amount of ram you expect to have installed in your computer
2. Windows 10 does this the easy way, in the search box, type " show how much ram" and you should see something like this; (in windows 7 open a explorer windows, click at top bar on computer then "system properties")
does this match the amount of ram you "know" you should have ?
Note: looking at your 98% image you showing us you...

It's not LOL that's taking 98% of your RAM alone but the fact that all other process combined are taking 98% of your total RAM.
If, by example, you have 4GB of RAM, a simple calculation on that list would imply that you're using aprox. 3,2GB of RAM which would be 80% from the total, so if you have any other processes down that list as well, and including OS usage and RAM limitations ( You may have 4GB but normally the system don't use all of it ), you're pretty much close to the total, therefore the percentage is somewhat accurate.
If you want this to go down, you have two options. Close applications that you're not using to save up memory or get more RAM

Note: looking at your 98% image you showing us you utilization, I clearly can account from all those apps shown on the page are using 3,237,400 MB which sounds like you have 4GB or RAM, and I right or should you have more?
