TL;DR:

• Cost to change your Riot ID Name: Costs RP --> No Cost

• Name change frequency: Yearly (365 days) --> Every 3 months (90 days)

The rest stays the same.

Original article for reference: Transitioning from Summoner Names to Riot IDs

I said it before and I’ll say it again, this is the first step before they require us to use phone numbers to play. Just watch.

It’s good that they made improvements to the problem they created, but no one was complaining about unique Summoner names being bad though.

Good changes, sadly they protect mostly pros/content creators

that feeling when they start with a year and lower to 90 to get people to forget that we still dont want this

The process of picking a unique Summoner Name is a terrible new player experience. It takes new League and TFT players an average of 5 minutes and 8 rejected attempts to pick a unique name, and thousands of players give up before finding a name they like.

So give them a temporary name and a free name change.

Riot Games classic, fixing problems that didn’t need to exist because of stupid decisions they decided to make for no reason.

We also heard from players who enjoy having a different name in League/TFT than they do in VAL/LoR/WR. We get it, but we hope over time you’ll embrace having one identity across the whole ecosystem.

We hear what you want, but we’re gonna close our eyes and hope you’ll stop wanting it.
