How to Delete Your League of Legends Account

Tired of League of Legends? Here’s How to Delete Your Account

Are you feeling frustrated and exhausted with your League of Legends (LoL) account? Have you had enough of dealing with toxic players and want to move on? If you’re unsure about how to delete your LoL account, we’re here to help. In this article, we will guide you through the process of permanently deleting your LoL account, providing you with all the necessary information and steps to follow. Let’s get started!

Options: Deactivating vs. Deleting Your Account

Riot, the developer of League of Legends, offers two options for players who no longer wish to continue playing the game. The first option is to deactivate your account, which temporarily puts your account on hold. While your account is deactivated, Riot retains access to all your user data, but you won’t be able to play the game.

If you choose to deactivate your account, keep in mind that you can reactivate it once you decide to play again. This option allows you to take a break from the game without permanently removing your account.

The second option is to delete your account. Once you delete your account, the process cannot be reversed, and all data associated with the account will be permanently deleted. It’s crucial to be absolutely certain before proceeding with this option.

We recommend considering deactivation as a trial period before deciding to delete your account entirely. This way, you can evaluate your choice and make an informed decision.

Important Considerations Before Deleting Your Account

Before proceeding with deleting your LoL account, there are a few essential things you should know:

  • If you delete your LoL account, you must also delete other games connected to your Riot account, such as VALORANT, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra.
  • All purchases made on your account, including skins and chromas, will not be refunded.
  • Once the deletion process is complete, you will lose access to your account forever. There is no way to retrieve the deleted account or its data.

Now that you’re aware of these considerations, let’s move on to the step-by-step process of deleting your LoL account.

Steps to Delete Your LoL Account

  1. Visit the Riot Support Page for account deletion by clicking here.
  2. Click the “LOG IN” button on the page and log in to the Riot account you wish to delete.
  3. Riot will ask if you are the original creator of the account. Select “YES” if you are.
  4. After step 3, Riot will display the games connected to your account, your account name, and Riot ID. If the information appears correct, click on “CONFIRM START DELETION PROCESS.”

Once you have completed these steps, the deletion process will be initiated, and you will receive an email containing all the relevant information. It’s important to note that the deletion process may take up to 30 days to complete.

If you encounter any issues with the provided deletion link, Riot also offers an alternative method through ticket submission.

Deleting Your Account via Ticket Submission

If the deletion link mentioned above doesn’t work, you can delete your account by submitting a ticket to Riot. Follow these steps:

  1. Click here to access the ticket submission page.
  2. Select “Account Management, Data Request, or Deletion” as the request type.
  3. In the subject field, enter “Account Deletion”.
  4. In the description, provide the following information:
    • Account Name (the Riot account you use to sign into different Riot games)
    • Summoner Name (your in-game LoL name)
    • Creation date of the account
    • Location where you registered the account (City, Country)
    • Email address used during the original registration
    • Select the region tied to your account
  5. For the Inquiry Selection, choose “Account Deletion”.

By following these steps, Riot support will assist you in deleting your LoL account via the ticket submission process.

Can You Reverse an Account Deletion or Deactivation?

Once the 30-day deletion process is complete, it is not possible to reverse the account deletion. All information associated with the deleted account is permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

However, if you change your mind during the 30-day deletion period, you still have an opportunity to retrieve your account. In the deletion confirmation email you receive after initiating the deletion process, there will be a link provided. By clicking this link within the first five days before the process concludes, you may be able to reverse the account deletion, although it is not guaranteed.

If only five days or less remain in the deletion process, retrieving your account will no longer be possible.

Considering Account Deactivation Instead?

If you are unsure about permanently deleting your account or simply need a break from League of Legends, deactivating your account might be the right choice for you. When you deactivate your account, all your data is preserved by Riot; however, you will not be able to log in to any Riot games.

Prior to deactivating your account, we recommend removing all payment information associated with it for added security.

To deactivate your account, follow these steps:

  1. Submit a ticket to Riot by clicking here.
  2. Choose “Account Management, Data Request, or Deletion” as the request type.
  3. In the subject field, enter “Account Deactivation”.
  4. In the description, provide the same information requested in the deletion process.
  5. Select “Account Deactivation” in the Inquiry Selection field.

By following these steps, you can deactivate your LoL account temporarily and take a break from the game.

Should You Delete Your LoL Account?

The decision to delete your LoL account ultimately rests with you. It is a significant step, especially if you have invested a considerable amount of time and money into the game. Before proceeding with deletion, take some time to reflect on your decision. You may also want to consider deactivating your account as a trial period to see if it meets your needs.

Remember, deleting your account is permanent, and you will lose access to all purchased items and progress. Make sure to weigh your options and decide what is best for you.

FAQs

1. Can I reverse the deletion of my LoL account?

No, once the deletion process is complete, it is not possible to reverse the account deletion. Make sure to carefully consider your decision before initiating the deletion process.

If you delete your LoL account, all purchases made on that account, including skins, chromas, and other items, will be permanently lost. There will be no refunds or compensation provided for these purchases.

3. Is it possible to retrieve my account during the 30-day deletion process?

Yes, if you regret your decision within the first five days of initiating the deletion process, there is a small chance that you can recover your account. However, the chances decrease as the process nears completion. Act quickly if you wish to attempt account recovery.

4. Can I deactivate my LoL account instead of deleting it?

Yes, if you need a break from the game or want to temporarily suspend your account, deactivation is a suitable option.

LG Put a Microphone in Your Living Room. Its Terms Make You Responsible for Everyone It Hears.

TLDR There is a microphone in the television. According to LG’s own service terms, certain voice-recognition features may capture and analyze the voices of family members, guests, children, and bystanders nearby. LG’s answer to the obvious privacy problem is blunt: obtaining the necessary consent is the owner’s responsibility. The wording reviewed for this article appears in current regional LG service terms. It says customers must notify household members and guests that their voices may be captured and processed in compliance with wiretapping, eavesdropping, and privacy laws. If someone does not consent, LG tells the owner to disable the microphone or voice features. LG then disclaims liability for the owner’s failure to obtain that consent or provide the warning. That is an extraordinary obligation to place on someone who bought a television. LG developed the product. LG included the voice-recognition system. LG operates or enables the AI-based services. But when another person’s voice enters the system, LG’s terms attempt to make the customer responsible for understanding the law and managing everyone else’s consent. LG supplies the listening technology. The owner gets the compliance problem. What LG’s Voice-Recognition Terms Actually Say The most alarming part of LG’s terms is not a vague statement that voice data may be processed. It is the list of people who may be affected. LG says third-party voices and utterances in the vicinity may be recorded and analyzed to provide AI-based services. The examples include: These are not all people who intentionally activated the voice assistant. A guest may not know the television has voice-recognition features. A child may not understand what audio processing means. A contractor, babysitter, cleaner, neighbor, or friend may have no reason to expect that speaking in the room could involve an LG service. LG’s terms then state that it is the user’s “sole responsibility” to obtain all necessary third-party consents and notify household members and guests. The company specifically mentions wiretapping, eavesdropping, and privacy laws. The terms do not give an ordinary customer a realistic system for doing any of this. There is no suggested notice to place on the door. There is no guest-consent screen. There is no household privacy dashboard explaining whose consent is needed in each jurisdiction. LG simply assigns the responsibility to the owner and advises turning off the microphone when someone objects. LG Says It Does Not Record Ambient Conversations It is important not to turn LG’s disturbing legal language into a claim the evidence does not support. LG has said its televisions do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations. The company says voice recognition is optional, user-initiated, and processes voice data only when activated to fulfill a request. It also says customers can use smart TV features without enabling voice recognition. LG’s US support instructions also show that voice recognition can be enabled or adjusted through the television’s AI Service settings. Some models support wake-word and hands-free controls, while available features vary by model and webOS generation. Those facts matter. The terms do not prove that every LG television continuously records every conversation in the room. They do not prove that LG is intentionally violating wiretapping law. They also may not apply identically in every country, since LG publishes different terms and services across regions. But LG’s response does not make the terms harmless. The company’s own agreement still recognizes that third-party voices may be captured during use of voice-recognition features. It still names children, guests, and bystanders. And it still attempts to make the customer responsible for consent, notification, and legal compliance. The concern is narrower than “LG listens to everything.” It is also more defensible: LG created a voice-processing system that may capture people who never bought the television, never opened an LG account, and never accepted LG’s terms. Your Guests Never Agreed to LG’s Terms A customer may click “agree” during television setup. That does not mean everyone entering the customer’s home has also agreed. Consider a normal living room during a football game. Friends are talking over the television. Children are playing nearby. Someone uses a voice command to search for a player or change the volume. Another person’s words are picked up at the same time. Who gave consent? LG’s terms appear to say that answering that question is the owner’s job. The same problem exists in less obvious settings. LG televisions may be found in hotel rooms, rental properties, conference rooms, waiting areas, restaurants, classrooms, offices, and shared homes. The person who agreed to the service terms may not even be present when someone else’s voice is captured. A contract between LG and the device owner cannot automatically create informed consent from every third party near the product. That does not mean voice capture is always illegal. Recording and privacy laws vary by country and state. Some laws focus on whether a person reasonably expected privacy. Others distinguish between recording a conversation and processing a voice command. The details matter. But those details are exactly why LG’s “sole responsibility” language is so unreasonable for an ordinary buyer. The average television owner should not need to research state recording statutes before asking the television to open Netflix. What Does LG Expect Owners to Tell Visitors? Taken literally, LG’s terms create a social ritual that almost no one will follow. A homeowner would need to say something like: Before we watch the game, you should know that this LG television has voice-recognition features. Your voice may be captured and processed when those features are used. Please tell me if you do not consent so I can disable the microphone. That might satisfy the spirit of LG’s warning. It would also be absurd in a normal home. Should parents obtain permission before their children bring friends into the room? Should someone warn a plumber before demonstrating a noise coming from the television? Should a short-term rental owner place an audio-processing disclosure beside the remote? LG’s terms give customers the obligation without giving them a usable process. And when consent is not
