After initiating account deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove it. During this period, your account will be inactive. Once the 30 days pass, your account, including your username, skins, and personal data, will be irreversibly deleted, allowing another player to use your former username. You can contact support within 25 days to request that the account not be deleted.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No. After 30 days, restoring your account is no longer possible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you can reach out to Riot Games support for potential recovery, though success is not guaranteed, especially if the account was fully deleted.

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, from losing interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. For some, deleting the game and account is a logical step to overcome addiction, though the desire to return may resurface soon after.

The most compelling reason for account deletion is often to help those struggling with gaming addiction. Excessive gaming can lead to job loss, dropping out of school, and social isolation, affecting individuals of all ages. Deleting the account can be a crucial step in regaining control over one's life, allowing focus on studies or work without gaming distractions.
