How to Delete Your League of Legends Account

League of Legends is one of the most addictive online games. You can get so engrossed in the game to the extent that you might not have any social life. If you’ve been playing it, chances are, your friends and family are already complaining about your addiction to the game. 

If not, maybe you just don’t seem to enjoy League of Legends, and the game is taking up valuable space on your machine. Whatever the case, deleting the game is your best bet. In this article, we’ll present you with how to delete your League of Legends account.

But first, let’s look at some key things you need to know before getting rid of it.

What You Need to Know Before Deleting Your LOL Account 

Before deleting your LOL account, you need to understand exactly what your decision entails, so you do it with no regrets.

For one, you can’t get rid of your league of Legends account without losing access to other riot games, such as Wild Rift, Valorant, and Legends of Runeterra.

You should also know that this process permanently erases your account and personal data, so you’ll need to create an entirely new account if you want to return to the game.

Now that you know what to expect, continue reading to learn how to delete your account.

Deleting Your League of Legends Account Through Your Laptop

The interface of a laptop is different from that of a mobile phone. So, let’s take a look at how to do your account deletion with your laptop.

Step A

First of all, you need to log into your account. Expectedly, you can’t delete your account without logging in.

Step B

Next, look for the “support” button at the top of your homepage and click on it.

Step C (optional)

A search box will appear, and you should type in “account deletion.” Below, you’ll see the account deletion FAQ hyperlinked. Follow the link and scroll down to find the “how do I make a request” section. When you’ve found it, copy it.

Step D

Move your cursor to the top of your screen and click on “submit a request.”  You’ll see a request form on your screen, and all you have to do is fill out the form.

Filling Your Request

The first thing you’ll see on the form is “choose a request type.” Scroll down the list to make your choice.

  • Choose “account management,” “data request,” or “deletion.”
  • In the “I need help with” section, choose “I would like to delete my account.”
  • In the subject section, make sure you type in “account deletion.”
  • If you followed Step C, then it’s time to paste and answer the questions you copied. If not, then enter your email address, summoner name, and account name. Additionally, you have to enter the location where you registered the account. Then, state whether you purchased riot points or not and the payment method used.
  • Choose your language, and if you can, select whether you’re a PBE (Public Beta Environmental) player or not. 
  • Submit your ticket. 

Generally, don’t worry if you’re unable to answer every question on the form. Riot may require you to answer some follow-up questions to verify ownership, though. Therefore, you need to check your mail regularly.

Deleting Your League of Legends Account Through Your Mobile Phone

When using a mobile phone, here are the steps to follow to delete your lol account:

  • Make sure you’re logged into your account.
  • Follow the URL and scroll down in search of the “submit a ticket” button.
  • Tap on the button to fill the form. You can use the steps earlier mentioned to fill and submit the request.

Waiting for 30 Days

After you’re done with your side of the process by submitting your request, all you have to do now is wait for 30 days. While you wait, it’s important to note that your account will be inaccessible. However, within the upcoming 30 days, you can still retrieve your account if you happen to change your mind. 

To do that, you have to ensure that you reply to the automated email sent to you after submitting the request, and you have to do so before the last 5 days of your wait.

Reasons to Delete Your LOL Account

Several reasons could prompt an account deletion. For a start, it could be that you want to end your addiction to the game. League of Legends’ addiction mostly stems from its competitive nature.

After playing a few easy steps, the game starts becoming challenging. And although you may have more losses than wins, your aim to have a higher rank drives you to keep playing. 

Eventually, you may become obsessed, shirking some responsibilities due to the long hours you spend playing the game. This may cause social and health problems like insomnia.

Second, you may consider deleting your LOL account because you want to restart the game. Perhaps, you started on a not too good note, and after getting the hang of it, you want another chance to start afresh. 

Final Thoughts

So, there you have it! The process of deleting your LOL account isn’t complicated, as we’ve shown above. Whatever your reason is, you can easily get going and delete it right away if you wish to!
