What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently delete your account. During this time, your account is inactive. After 30 days, your account, username, skins, and personal data are permanently deleted. Your username becomes available for other players. You have 25 days to contact support and cancel the deletion.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No. Account restoration is impossible after 30 days. If your account was hacked and deleted, contact Riot Games support; however, recovery is not guaranteed.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for account deletion vary. Loss of interest or attempts to manage gaming addiction are common. Deleting an account can be a way to address excessive gaming impacting work, studies, or social life. For some, it's a responsible step to regain control. While account deletion might seem like a solution to gaming addiction, it’s important to note that it may only be a temporary fix, and professional help may be needed.
