With just four straightforward steps and a few clicks, you can initiate the deletion of your account. Be aware that this will affect all other Riot Games titles as well. Your account will remain deactivated for 30 days, so consider removing any linked bank card information as a precautionary measure.
What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating the account deletion process, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove your account. During this period, the account remains inactive. Once the 30 days pass, your account, including your username, skins, and all personal data, will be irreversibly deleted. This means another player could potentially 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?
No. After 30 days, restoring your account is no longer possible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you might contact Riot Games support for potential recovery, though success isn't guaranteed, especially if the account was fully deleted.
Why Do People Delete Their Accounts?

The reasons for deleting accounts vary widely. Some players lose interest in the game, while others seek to overcome gaming addiction, seeing account deletion as the only viable solution. Unfortunately, the desire to return to the game can resurface soon after deletion.
A common and compelling reason for account deletion is to aid those struggling with gaming addiction. Excessive gaming can lead to job loss, dropping out of school, and social isolation across all age groups. Deleting the game might offer a temporary solution, but in severe cases, complete account deletion may be necessary to help someone regain control over their life.
For many, deleting their account is a responsible step towards focusing on studies or work without the distraction of games like LoL.
