What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

Upon completing the account deletion process, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove it. During this time, your account will be inactive.

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

You have up to 25 days to contact support and request the cancellation of 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 assistance. However, restoring a fully deleted account is often impossible, as Riot Games may not always be able to help in such situations.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely. Some players lose interest in the game, while others seek to overcome gaming addiction by eliminating the temptation to play. Deleting an account can seem like a logical step, though the desire to return to the game may resurface.

A significant reason for account deletion is to aid those struggling with gaming addiction. Excessive gaming, such as in League of Legends, can lead to severe consequences, including job loss, dropping out of school, and social isolation, affecting individuals of all ages.

While deleting the game might provide temporary relief, for those battling gaming addiction, completely deleting the account can be a crucial step towards regaining control over their lives. This action allows many players to focus on more important aspects like education and work without the distraction of games like LoL.
