How to switch from League of Legends to Riot account - Dot

1. Why are you changing usernames in the first place? While our previous account system was broken down by region and linked specifically to League of Legends, your new Riot Account will be the name you type into the sign-in screen for any of Riot’s games.
2. Why do I need to change my username? No two usernames can be the same, which means if you have the same username on a few different servers (including PBE), you’ll need to make sure they’re each one of a kind.
3. Is this the same as my Summoner Name? Nope. Your username is the name you use to log in, not the one other players see in-game (like your Summoner Name in League of Legends).
4. What will I need to do? If you have a name that is not already globally unique, you might have already received an email from us asking you to go through and make sure that your name, regardless of server, is the only one of its kind.
5. What if I have the same username on a bunch of different servers? If you have signed up for League of Legends on multiple League of Legends servers (including PBE), you’re going to need to make sure that each account has a unique name.
6. What happens if I don't change my username? If you need to update your account, you’ll see a pop-up in-client that will let you do so. This pop-up won’t always be dismissable, so you’ll need to make the change as soon as possible.
7. Why isn't it first-come, first-serve? Shouldn't the oldest account get the name? We looked into these systems (and more) and found that they presented their own set of issues.
8. Can I just log in with my email address? We’d originally hoped to add that as an option for Riot Accounts, but we weren’t able to get that done in time for the rollout.
9. What if I mistakenly changed my Riot Account to something I didn't want? Mistakes happen. If you swapped the wrong username or mistakenly named the wrong one the wrong thing, you can go to the Riot Account Update page and change it again.
10. Can I wait until the last second to see if the other person changes their name first? You can, but you might run into issues when we get closer to the official cut-off in February.
