How to change your name in League of Legends

In the world of League of Legends, your nickname is more than just a name – it’s your battle flag, your distinctive mark that sets you apart in the arena. But people change, and sometimes your old nick doesn’t fit your new self. That’s why the ability to change your name in LoL is so important. It’s a chance to renew yourself, adopt a new gaming identity, and start a new chapter in your cybersport journey.

What you need to know before changing your name in LoL

A few important considerations:

1. Cost. To change your in-game identity, you’ll need in-game money – RP or BE. Make sure you have enough of it.
2. Uniqueness of the name. If someone has already taken the nick you want, you’ll have to think again.
3. Patience. If you just changed your in-game identity, you will have to wait a while before changing it again.

Also, when choosing a new nick, remember that LoL has its own rules. You can’t use offensive or inappropriate words. Riot Games keeps a close eye on this, so be creative but polite!

What happens to the old name?

When you change your in-game identity, the old nick doesn’t disappear into thin air – Riot usually “freezes” your old name for a while. This means that no one else can use your old nick immediately after you change it.
