    How to Change Your Name in Valorant

    VALORANT: How to change your name

    Stuck with a cringe-worthy name and wishing for a Valorant do-over? Look no further! Let us show you how to change your name in Valorant in just a few easy steps. This guide covers it all, so you can get back to fragging in style.

    What is Your Valorant Name?

    Before we delve into how to change your name, let’s clear up some confusion. Your Valorant name is NOT the same as the username you use to log in. Your Valorant name is the handle that your friends and teammates see when you play together. It’s a representation of who you are in-game, and it’s essential to have a memorable and unique name because it expresses your gamer persona.

    The username is created when registering the account; no one else can see it except you. Your username can’t change unless you submit a support ticket.

    To change your Valorant name, you will have to change your Riot ID. Unlike League of Legends, Valorant doesn’t have a Summoner’s Name, which is a big plus. Soon you will find out why.

    The Valorant name is displayed in the game’s main menu along with your tag. Other players you play with can see both of those and use them to add you to the friend list. The friend list is synchronized between different Riot games as it is linked to your Riot ID.

    Changing Your Riot ID

    Riot ID can be changed in Riot Account settings. In the tab “Riot ID” your Riot ID, email, and other account details.

    Be as Creative as You Want When Changing Your Valorant Name

    Unleash your creativity and let your imagination run wild! With Riot ID, the possibilities are endless. No more “username is taken” messages, no more restrictions on what you can and can’t pick. Your gaming identity is in your hands, and you can choose any name your heart desires (as long as it’s appropriate, of course).

    Let your name be a reflection of your personality, your sense of humor, your passion. And here’s the best part- it can be as short as three characters – that’s it! So, don’t be shy, pick a name that represents you, and let the games begin!

    You Can Use Fun, Special Symbols

    Ready to take your gaming persona to the next level? Adding special characters to your Riot ID is a game-changer, allowing you to create a name that’s truly one-of-a-kind – it’s a great way to show off your unique personality and style.

    And don’t worry, we’ve got your back. If you’re unsure where to start, head over to a helpful website that offers a validation checker and a vast collection of symbols to choose from. With this tool, you’ll be able to unleash your creativity and create a name that stands out from the crowd. So why blend in when you can add a bit of spice to your Riot ID and amp up your gaming experience?

    Hold up, before you hit that “change” button, there are a few crucial things to remember. While Riot ID allows you to be as creative and unique as your heart desires, there is one small catch: you can only change your Riot ID, and therefore only change your Valorant name, once every 30 days. So, choose your name wisely!

    Even if you accidentally misspelled it, you must endure it for a month before making any changes. And let’s not forget, once you’ve successfully changed your Valorant name, it’s time to show it off! Get ready to school your online foes with your all-new, perfectly crafted gaming identity.

    Custom Riot Tagline

    The freedom of being able to set any Valorant name via your Riot ID is great, and you may think that’s because every user has a unique tagline instead, like when using Discord. But wait for it; you can change the tagline too!

    The tagline is the #numbers that follow your name. You can make the tagline after your Valorant name up to 5 digits, and it will be displayed as your tagline online. Nice and easy!

    Ideas for a Valorant Name

    Coming up with a new name for your Valorant name change could be a difficult task. And I know that from experience. If you already have a name that you widely use, go for it. But if you don’t, or it has already been taken by one of the active valorant players, let’s take a moment to think.

    First things first, you need a strong base to build from when making your Valorant name change. Why not start with a nickname that you love or a word that has a special meaning to you? It’s the perfect starting point!

    But wait, we can’t stop there. It’s time to take things to the next level by adding a unique twist, and this is where things get interesting. Remember the freedom Riot ID offers? It’s your chance to transform your name into something truly extraordinary.

    Just keep in mind, different Riot games may have different character name restrictions, so it’s essential to plan ahead.

    Famous Valorant Names to Draw Inspiration From

    Now let’s see some famous examples of online names to draw inspiration from when you update your name in Valorant:

    • TimTheTatman
    • Markiplier
    • LilyPichu

    All of them have their actual names in there: Tim, Mark, Lily. The way you twist it could depend on what you do or like. For example, your name is Mark as well, and you like raccoons. Boom – Markoon. Your mascot could be a raccoon as well. Does it sound stupid? Maybe. But that was the first thing on my mind. Everything you come up with will sound stupid at first. Give it some time.

    I use my name (Ed/Edward) everywhere. In GTA, I recently changed the name to NotShadyEdward because GTA is all about illegal businesses and stuff. And I try to come up with something like this for every game. Or sometimes I go as Felwinter which is just the name I like.

    The name should not make much sense as long as you enjoy wearing it. If you still can’t come up with anything, write something temporary. As soon as you start playing, chatting with your teammates or friends you will make memories to associate your name with in the future.

    So don’t worry about it too much. At least, that’s what I tell myself every time entering a new name.

    Summary F.A.Q.

    Even though most of these questions regarding valorant name change were answered in the guide already, let’s compile them for an easier read.

    What name is displayed in the Valorant client?

    In Valorant, the name that is displayed is Riot ID. A universal name for most of the games by Riot.

    Is it possible to change your username/login?

    No, you cannot change your username/login. However, you can try submitting a support ticket.

    What are the requirements for the Riot ID name?

    There are no requirements as long as it is 3 characters long.

    Will I get banned for an inappropriate Riot ID?

    Yes, you may get banned. Riot periodically deletes all the inappropriate and offensive names in their system. So be careful.

    Can I add special characters to my name when I change it in Valorant?

    You can! There is a list of all the characters you can use and even a website to see if it’s valid.

    How often can I change my Riot ID name?

    You can change your Riot ID every 30 days.

    Can I change my Valorant name in-game?

    The only way to change your Riot ID is to open the Riot Account settings in the browser.

    Do I need to pay for the name change?

    Unlike Summoner’s Name in League of Legends, you don’t have to pay a cent to change your Riot ID.

    Final Thoughts

    If you want to change your name in Valorant, it is a relatively simple process that we’ve outlined above. While you can’t change your login name, the display name is totally configurable. Of course, Riot doesn’t want you updating it constantly. That’d be unnecessary, so there’s a 30-day waiting period between name changes in Valorant.

    We hope this guide has helped you accomplish what you wanted and you are now able to update your name in Valorant at will. If you face any troubles, please check out the official docs or comment below.
