Starting from November 20th, Riot has a new policy in place regarding free Riot ID changes. Instead of the initially planned once a year, you'll now be able to change it for free more frequently!
Valorant's constant name changes have sparked a fun naming trend. Every Valorant player has encountered the bronze "I miss her"-Jetts, swift enough to wipe you out in a blink. Then there are the cringe-worthy e-couple names like "His Donut" and "Her Glaze" that somehow manage to mess up your game. (We won't even mention the cringier ones—trust us, it gets wild)
Starting November 20, Riot IDs Can Only Be Changed Every 3 Months
Originally, Riot planned a change for Riot IDs, allowing a free change only once a year, with a $10 fee for additional changes starting November 20. However, they've updated it—now, you can make a free change every 90 days instead of monthly, and the fee has been completely removed. The initial intention was to form a stronger connection with your in-game identity across Riot titles.
As a response to these concerns, Riot may have decided to reconsider and allow more frequent free Riot ID changes, while also aiming to project a player-friendly approach rather than coming across as profit-driven.
