By following these four steps, you can initiate the account deletion process. Be aware that this action will affect all Riot Games titles. Your account will remain in a deactivated state for 30 days, so ensure you remove any linked bank card information as a precaution.

What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating account deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove it. During this period, the account remains inactive. Once the 30 days pass, the account, including your username, skins, and personal data, is irreversibly deleted, freeing up your username for other players. If you change your mind, you can contact support within 25 days to request cancellation of the deletion.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No, once the 30-day period ends, account restoration is impossible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you might contact Riot Games support for help, but success is not guaranteed, especially if the account has been fully deleted.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, from losing interest in the game to combating gaming addiction. For some, deleting the game and account is a way to break free from excessive gaming, which can lead to serious life disruptions like job loss, dropping out of school, or social isolation. This issue can affect players of all ages.

Excessive gaming can have negative impacts, and while deleting the game might offer a temporary solution, complete account deletion might be necessary for those struggling with gaming addiction. This step can help individuals focus on more important aspects of life, such as studies or work, without the distraction of games like LoL.
