By following these four straightforward steps, you can initiate the deletion of your Riot Games account. Remember, this action will impact all Riot Games titles, and your account will remain deactivated for 30 days. As a precaution, ensure you remove any linked bank card information before proceeding.
What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating the deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove your account. During this time, the account remains inactive. Once the 30-day period elapses, your account, including your username, skins, and other personal data, will be permanently deleted, allowing another player to potentially use your former username. If you change your mind, you can contact support within the first 25 days to request the cancellation of the deletion process.
Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?
Unfortunately, once the 30-day period is over, it's impossible to restore your account. If your account was hacked and deleted by the hackers, you can reach out to Riot Games support for assistance. However, Riot Games may not always be able to help, especially if the account has been fully deleted, making recovery nearly impossible.
Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

The reasons for deleting a gaming account can vary widely, from simply losing interest in the game to more serious issues like combating gaming addiction. Some players find that deleting their account is a necessary step to curb their excessive gaming habits, which can sometimes resemble addiction to drugs. This problem can lead to severe consequences such as job loss, dropping out of school, and social isolation, affecting individuals of all ages.
Excessive gaming, especially with titles like League of Legends, can have negative effects on both young and older players. While deleting the game may provide temporary relief, for those struggling with gaming addiction, fully deleting their account might be the only effective way to regain control over their lives. For many, this decision is a significant step towards prioritizing their studies or career, free from the distractions of gaming.
