With these four straightforward steps, you can initiate the deletion of your account. Keep in mind that this action will affect all Riot Games titles, and the account will stay deactivated for 30 days. As a precaution, ensure you remove any linked bank card information before proceeding.

What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating the deletion process, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove your account. During this period, your account remains inactive. Once the 30 days pass, your account, including your username, skins, and other personal data, will be irreversibly deleted, allowing another player to claim your former username. You can contact support within 25 days to request that the account not be deleted.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No. Once the 30-day period is over, restoring your account becomes impossible. If your account was hacked and deleted by the hackers, you can reach out to Riot Games support for assistance. However, recovering a fully deleted account is rarely successful.

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, from losing interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. For some, deleting the game and account is a clear solution to curb excessive gaming. However, the urge to return can resurface soon after deletion.

A significant reason for account deletion is to help those struggling with gaming addiction. Excessive gaming can lead to job loss, educational setbacks, and social isolation, affecting individuals of all ages. Deleting an account can be a crucial step in regaining control over one's life, allowing individuals to focus on their studies or work without the distraction of games like LoL.
