Tips For Choosing A New Summoner Name

Be original and imaginative

Make sure your new name is memorable and distinctive. Steer clear of extremely complicated names or frequent words that could be hard for other players to pronounce or recall.

Check for offensive content

Riot Games strictly prohibits names that are rude or improper. Ensure your new Summoner Name complies with the community norms to prevent possible problems or fines.

Consider future use

Select a name that will make you happy in the long run. Choosing a name you won’t want to change too often is best because doing so can be expensive.

Keep it simple

Clean, uncomplicated names work best most of the time. They are simple for other players to identify and recall.

What to Do If Your Desired Name Is Taken?

• To create the name you want, try adding special letters or numerals. If “Shadow” is already used, you could try “Shadow123” or “Shad0w.”
• Use different spellings or acronyms. For example, if “Knight” isn’t available, think of “Nite” or “Knyght.”
• Take two words or more words and combine them to make a new name. If “Dragon” is already taken, you may use “FireDragon” or “DragonSlayer,” for instance.
