With these four steps, you can initiate the account deletion process. Be aware that this action will affect all Riot Games titles, and your account will remain 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 will be inactive. Once the 30 days have elapsed, your account, including your username, skins, and personal data, will be irreversibly deleted, allowing another player to use your former username. You have 25 days to contact support and request that the deletion be canceled.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No, once the 30-day period has passed, account restoration is not possible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you can reach out to Riot Games support for assistance. However, success is not guaranteed, and fully deleted accounts are nearly impossible to recover.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, from losing interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. For some, deleting their account is a way to break free from the cycle of purchasing expensive skins and endless play, which can lead to severe consequences like job loss, dropping out of school, and social isolation. This issue affects players of all ages.

Excessive gaming can have a detrimental impact on both young and older players. While deleting the game might provide temporary relief, in some cases, completely removing the account is the only way to help someone overcome gaming addiction and regain control of their life. This step can be crucial for those needing to focus on their studies or work without the distraction of games like LoL.
