With just these four steps, you can initiate the deletion of your account. Be aware that this action will affect all Riot Games titles. Your account will remain deactivated for 30 days, giving you a window to reconsider. Before proceeding, ensure you remove any linked bank card information as a precautionary measure.

What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating the account deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to finalize the process. During this period, your account remains inactive. Once the 30 days are up, your account, including your username, skins, and other personal data, will be permanently deleted. This means another player can potentially claim your former username. If you change your mind, you have 25 days to contact support and request that the account not be deleted.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

Unfortunately, once the 30-day period has elapsed, restoring your account is not possible. If your account was compromised and deleted by hackers, you may contact Riot Games support for assistance. However, recovery is not always guaranteed, especially if the account has been fully deleted.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, ranging from loss of interest in the game to battling gaming addiction. For some, deleting the account is a drastic yet necessary step to break free from the grip of excessive gaming. Gaming addiction can lead to severe consequences such as job loss, dropping out of school, and social isolation, affecting individuals of all ages.

While deleting the game might offer a temporary reprieve, it's often the complete removal of the account that provides a lasting solution to gaming addiction. This action allows players to refocus on their studies, work, or personal life, free from the distractions of games like LoL and others developed by Riot Games.
