What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

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 cancellation of the deletion.
Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?
No. Once the 30-day period elapses, 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 account deletion vary widely, from waning interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. For some, deleting the game and account is a logical step to break free from excessive gaming. However, the desire to return to the game can resurface soon after deletion.
A significant reason for account deletion is to combat gaming addiction. Players may spend excessively on skins, play compulsively, and struggle to stop, which can lead to job loss, educational setbacks, and social isolation across all age groups. Deleting the account can be a crucial step in regaining control over one's life, allowing individuals to focus on their studies or work without the distraction of games like LoL.
