By following these four straightforward steps, you can initiate the deletion of your account. Remember, this action will also affect all other Riot Games titles.

What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating the deletion process, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently delete your account. During this period, your account will be inactive. Once the 30 days have elapsed, your account, including your username, skins, and all personal data, will be irreversibly deleted. This means another player could potentially use your former username. If you change your mind within the first 25 days, you can contact support to cancel the deletion.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No, once the 30-day period has passed, restoring your account becomes impossible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you may contact Riot Games support for assistance, but recovery is not guaranteed, especially if the account was fully deleted.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for account deletion vary widely, from losing interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. Some players delete their accounts to break free from excessive gaming, which can lead to negative consequences such as job loss, academic failure, and social isolation. This issue can affect individuals of all ages. While deleting the game might offer a temporary solution, for those struggling with addiction, completely deleting the account may be necessary to regain control over their life and focus on responsibilities like studies or work.
