After initiating account deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to finalize the process. During this time, your account remains inactive. Once the 30 days are up, your account, including your username, skins, and personal data, will be permanently deleted, allowing another player to use your former username. If you change your mind, you can contact support within 25 days to request the account not be deleted.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

Unfortunately, after 30 days, account restoration is no longer possible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you might reach out to Riot Games support for help. However, Riot Games may not always be able to assist, and full recovery becomes highly unlikely if the account has been completely deleted.

Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, from waning interest in the game to battling gaming addiction. For some, deleting the game and account seems like a clear solution. However, the urge to return may soon follow.

A prevalent reason for account deletion is to combat gaming addiction. Players who spend excessive amounts on skins, play obsessively, and struggle to stop, often see account deletion as a necessary step. This addiction can lead to job loss, educational setbacks, and social isolation across all age groups.

Excessive gaming, particularly in games like League of Legends, can harm both young and older players. While deleting the game might offer a temporary fix, a complete account deletion can be a more effective way to break free from gaming addiction and regain control over one's life. For many, this decisive action helps them focus on more important aspects of life, such as studies or work, without the distraction of games like LoL.
