By following these four straightforward steps, you can delete your account. However, be aware that this will affect all Riot Games titles. Your account will stay in a deactivated state for 30 days, so consider removing your bank card details 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 time, the account remains inactive. Once the 30 days are up, your account, including your username, skins, and personal data, will be irreversibly deleted, allowing another player to claim your former username. You have 25 days to contact support and request to halt the deletion process.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No. Once the 30-day period elapses, restoring your account is no longer possible. 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 deleting accounts vary widely, ranging from waning interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. For some, deleting the account is a step towards overcoming addiction, particularly when excessive gaming leads to negative life impacts such as job loss, academic decline, or social isolation. This issue can affect individuals of all ages.

Excessive gaming can have detrimental effects on both young and older players. While deleting the game might provide temporary relief, in severe cases, completely removing the account may be necessary to break free from gaming addiction and regain control of one's life. For many, this decision is a significant step towards focusing on more important aspects like education or work, without the distraction of games like LoL.
