By following these four straightforward steps, you can initiate the deletion of your account. Keep in mind that this will affect all other Riot Games titles, and your account will stay 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 account deletion, Riot Games will take 30 days to permanently remove it. During this period, your account will be inactive.

Once the 30 days elapse, your account, including your username, skins, and other personal data, will be irreversibly deleted. This means another player could potentially use your former username.

You have up to 25 days to contact support and request that they halt the deletion process.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No. Once the 30-day period is over, restoring your account becomes impossible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you can reach out to Riot Games support for potential recovery, though success is not guaranteed, especially if the account has been fully deleted.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for account deletion vary widely, ranging from waning interest in the game to efforts to combat gaming addiction. For some, deleting the game and account seems like a definitive step to regain control over their lives.

A significant reason for account deletion is to assist those battling gaming addiction. Some individuals spend excessive amounts on in-game purchases, play compulsively, and may even neglect their responsibilities, leading to job loss, educational setbacks, and social isolation. This issue can affect players of all ages.

Excessive gaming, including titles like League of Legends, can have detrimental effects on both young and older players. While deleting the game might offer a temporary reprieve, in severe cases, complete account deletion might be necessary to break free from gaming addiction and refocus on essential aspects of life like education and work.
