What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating the account deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove it. During this period, the account will be inactive. Once the 30 days elapse, your account, including your username, skins, and personal data, will be irreversibly deleted, allowing another player to claim your former username. You can reach out to support within the first 25 days to request cancellation of the deletion.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No, after the 30-day period, account restoration is not possible. If your account was compromised and deleted by hackers, you may contact Riot Games support for potential recovery, though success is not guaranteed, especially if the account has been fully deleted.

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, from waning interest in the game to combating gaming addiction. Some players see account deletion as a necessary step to break free from excessive gaming, which can lead to job loss, educational setbacks, and social isolation. This issue affects players across all age groups. For many, deleting their account is a significant step towards focusing on other aspects of life, such as studies or work, without the distraction of games like LoL.
