What Happens After You Delete Your Account?
After initiating deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove 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 others. You have until day 25 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 isn't guaranteed.
Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?
Reasons for account deletion vary. Loss of interest, or combating gaming addiction are common. Deleting the account can seem like a solution, but the desire to return may arise later. For those struggling with gaming addiction, deleting the account can be a responsible step to regain control of their lives. This can help individuals focus on studies or work without distraction. Excessive gaming negatively impacts players of all ages, and account deletion may be a necessary measure to address this.
