In 2020, Riot Games went from being a League of Legends company to a "group of games" publisher and introduced many games such as VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra and Wild Rift. These games remain popular around the world, and VALORANT in particular is one of the games most followed by FPS fans. You may be tired of your in-game name or nickname. Until now, the VALORANT name change process has not been the same as in League of Legends or other Riot games. You did not have to spend in-game currency to change your name. But starting November 20, 2023, things are getting ready to become paid. Let's go over how to change your nickname/name in VALORANT.

Does Changing Your VALORANT Name Affect Other Riot Games?
Yes: all Riot games other than VALORANT and LoL use your Riot ID as your in-game name. So if you change your Riot ID and tagline for VALORANT, your name in all other Riot games except LoL may change.
LoL players use Summoner Names, and changing that does not change your Riot ID and tagline. However, starting next month, Summoner Names will be retired and the entire naming system will move to Riot IDs.

You should not use names that include the following:
- Names that imply hate speech, insults or profanity, whether veiled or explicit.
- Names that evoke or refer to any historical, ethical or political context.
- Names that contain insults, disturbing imagery and excessive vulgarity.
