Oh so if I understand correctly if you spent money on the account it is permanently protected from deletion?
It is, at the very least, protected from deletion through our automated deletion system, yes. You can still manually opt to delete the account if you want, and that will be as thorough at deletion as this system would be.
Will this affect Garena servers too?
Not just yet.
Couldn't this theoretically cause legal problems (at least in some countries), if the person spend money on stuff like skins etc.?
If you have spent any money on a Riot product you are immediately excluded from this
Hi Dan, fancy seeing you here 😇 keep up the good work!
Hi Val! 🥰
I read your explanation for the why you are doing this and it makes sense - it's a reasonable way to make your servers a safer place for us players. Thanks for that, tho!
I dunno if you already answered it, if that's the case pls tell me and I will search for it in this comment chain. Anyway, my question is: What is/ will be the approach when someone that DID actually take a huge break from the game wants to come back and use their old account? Will there be a possibility to restore them? Or will they be gone forever?
I mean, lots of people could pretend to have their old account deleted so abusers will abuse, so I could understand both ways.
If your account is deleted through this service, it will gone forever, for real.
If you end up taking an extended break and your account is flagged for deletion, you can go through the instructions emailed to you to undo this, which will reset the clock.
Could you clarify what would make something a "rare limited edition game entitlement"?
I'm mostly curious about what would make something "rare limited edition" vs just "limited edition".
edit: wording
I don't have examples of the specific distinction now but this is referring to things like Championship Riven, Grey Warwick, Rusty Blitzcrank etc
I have 3 accounts on the same email (i play on all 3). This might create any accounts management problem for me in the future?
I'm not aware of any plans we have right now that will cause issues for players with multi-tenant emails.
Hi,
that rule about 20 hours only counts last 3 years, or are hours counted since creation of account?
I mean if someone registered themselves years ago and 99% sure has more than 20 hours combined playtime, but in last 3 years it would less than that. Is that account safe, or might get caught by the filter?
As long as it's 20 hours in the lifetime of your account, you are safe.
If I understand it correctly, if you have more than 20h played, even if it's been 3+ years, you won't get deleted, correct?
Yes.
Dan, may I ask you something off topic?
Will Riot ever consider hardware ban a solution to cull some of the toxicity? (not flaming, but other egregious things that dragged this game to its current "reputation") If memory serves, Valorant issues hardware bans mostly to cheaters to keep the game clean. Some will say this idea is too extreme, some will say it will be useless because people can spoof their hardware and it's business as usual. What do you think about it?
I'm not qualified to answer this, sorry.
You ever play tank fizz?
unfortunately yes, but i believe the last time i played tank fizz i had i different online alias. it was a long time ago when it was meta on SR.
What counts as "game currency"? Is that specifically just RP or does IP/Blue essence count as "game currency"?
RP, Teamfight coins, VP. It's purchased currency.
Just throwing my 2 cents in here, but I recently quit the game because of the low quality of solo queue. Nobody cares anymore because they all have 10 accounts, even gold players. There is a reason Korean solo queue is better - social security numbers.
If you made it so you had to have a phone number attached to your account to play solo queue (and only for solo queue) I am confident the ranked experience would be IMMEDIATELY improved, and improved IMMENSELY. Please, if you have any influence at all, pass this thought on if you could. I would immediately come back to league if this were the case. Force people to play on their mains. Force them to give a shit about the game. You could literally solve trolling and soft inting, which if you ask literally ANYONE who plays this game is by far the main problem.
That's something we'd want to think about very carefully before doing, because it means we'd have to collect a phone number for every single person who plays. That's a lot of player information to track.
I'm not saying we'd never do it; it wouldn't be my call, but I personally would not want this to happen. You shouldn't need to give us a lot of really personally identifying information to play a video game.

Yes, but I can't disclose them. Sorry :(
Any way to salvage my Silver Kayle from my account last played on in S3 and move it to my "new main" last played in S10?
That sounds like something you should raise to player support.
Ok thank goodness, the title scared me. Glad to hear how conservative the rules are for deleting. I still message my late friend I lost last year and don’t want to lose his acc in my friends list
We'll be updating the article in a little while to address concerns we've heard so far and one of the things we will explicitly be addressing is preventing the deletion of accounts of deceased friends and relatives
Angers the money men. Think danhonks wants to get farted on?
Sexual harrassment isn't a punchline.
Are you sure 3 years isnt too recent? I know a lot of people that played from like 2010-2018 and then stopped. Do those people really need to lose their accounts?
3 years is just one piece of the criteria. You need to have not played in the past three years, and not played more than 20 hours, purchased or received RP and not have any legacy content.
But to clarify that also means it will not be deleted if for example;
Played in Season 2-3, hasn't played since
BUT owns some skins they bought in S3
therefore will not be deleted correct?
Yes, you won't be deleted. You owned skins in S2-3 which means you either purchased them, were gifted them, got them through a promotion (hello, Championship Riven, which is legacy) or probably played enough to earn them through ranked play.
