Deleting your account takes four simple steps. Remember, this affects all Riot Games games. Your account will be deactivated for 30 days. Before proceeding, remove any linked payment information.

What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

Account deletion takes 30 days. During this time, your account is inactive. After 30 days, your account, username, in-game items, and personal data are permanently deleted. Your username becomes available for others to use. You have until day 25 to contact support and cancel the deletion.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No. Restoration is impossible after 30 days. If your account was compromised and deleted by hackers, contact Riot Games support; however, recovery isn't guaranteed, especially after full deletion.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for account deletion vary. Loss of interest, managing gaming addiction, and focusing on studies or work are common motivations. For some, deleting the account is a crucial step in overcoming gaming addiction, which can negatively impact various aspects of life. While deleting the game might seem like a solution, it's important to consider that the desire to return may resurface later. For many, it's a responsible choice to improve their focus and well-being.
