Valorant is a fun first-person shooter made by Riot Games. It allows players to show their skills and be their own person. Part of this is picking a name, called your Riot ID. You may want to change your Valorant name later. Maybe you want it to fit with who you are, what you like, or just to start new.
Why change your valorant name?
New Look: You may not like your old name or you want a cooler one.
Safety: A name that is like your real one might not feel safe.
Team Pride: Players on esports teams may want names that show their team tag.
Fix Errors: Your first name may have mistakes that you want to change.
If needed, change your Tagline so it is still unique. Riot checks if names are taken.
After you make the changes, click Save or Submit.
Your Riot ID is now changed, and your new name will show in Valorant when you log in next.
The Tagline makes it so that if many players share the same Display Name, each one is still unique. If the name you want is taken, switch your Tagline to claim it.
Riot has strict rules about bad or rude names. Don’t use names that might break the Terms of Service. This could lead to penalties or make you change your name.
Fixing common issues
Reset Your Password: If you can’t log in, use “Forgot Password?” to get back to your account.
Account Lock: If you try to log in wrong too many times, wait a bit before trying again.
Log Out and In: Sometimes, changes may need a moment to sync. Logging out and back in can help.
Server updates may slow how fast new Riot IDs show up.
Tips for picking a great valorant name
Be Unique: Pick a name that shows who you are and stands out.
Keep It Short: Easy names are more catchy.
Skip Trends: Names based on trends might not last long.
Test It Out: Say it out loud or ask friends if they like it.
Changing your name in Valorant is easy, but it can change how others see you in the game. By following the steps above, you can update your Riot ID to something that fits you better. Just be smart about it, stick to Riot’s rules, and keep in mind you will have to wait 30 days for the next change.
