What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating the deletion process, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove your account. During this period, your account remains inactive. Once the 30 days are up, your account, including your username, skins, and all personal data, will be irreversibly deleted. This means another player can then use your former username. If you change your mind within 25 days, you can contact support to halt the deletion process.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No, once the 30-day period has elapsed, restoring your account is no longer possible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you might contact 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. Some players lose interest in the game, while others seek to combat gaming addiction. Deleting the account might seem like a straightforward solution, yet many find themselves wanting to return to the game shortly after. A significant motivation for account deletion is to assist those struggling with gaming addiction, which can lead to detrimental effects like job loss, dropping out of school, and social isolation. This issue can impact players of all ages, and sometimes, deleting the account is seen as the only way to break free from the addiction and regain control over one's life. For many, it's a crucial step towards focusing on more important aspects like studies or work, free from the distractions of games like LoL.
