Personalization: To match inside jokes, themes, or trends.
Privacy: To stay hidden or protect yourself from unwanted looks.
Fix Errors: To correct typos or problems in your current ID.
Unique Hashtags: If someone has the same display name, the hashtag makes sure yours is still unique, so you don’t get confused.
Rules: Your name must follow Riot’s rules, which keep bad or rude words out.
Once you are logged in, find the Account Settings area. Look for the Riot ID tab, which shows your current in-game name and hashtag.
Hashtag: This can be made for you or changed if there is room.
If you wish to change your name again, wait 30 days as per Riot’s rules.
