Most VALORANT players have done or want to rename at least once. In some cases, players may be dissatisfied with their old names, in others, they may simply want to change the name tag or add the team abbreviation per name when they join a team.
In this article, we give the answer to the question of how to change the name of VALORANT by explaining step by step. If you want to change your name or name tag in the game for the above reasons, you can quickly make your request by following the VALORANT name change steps in our article. Here are the VALORANT renaming steps:
How to rename VALORANT?
Step #1: Login to the official VALORANT site:
As we want to change the name in the VALORANT game, we need to go to the official VALORANT site for the first step of the name change process. You can click here or the link in the title to log in to the site. If you are logged into the site, proceed to the next step.
Step #2: Click the “Play Now” button on the top right:
After logging into the site, you will be greeted by many category titles and clickable buttons. Here, you need to click on the “PLAY NOW” button at the top right of the section with titles such as game information, media, news and support. After clicking, you can learn what to do in the next step.
Step #3: Click the “Login” button from the options that appear:
After clicking the “PLAY NOW” button, you will see two different options. The first of the options will be the “CREATE ACCOUNT” button on the left side that says “I don’t have a Riot Account yet”. We will not do this, but click on the “SIGN IN” section to the right of it, which says “I HAVE A RIOT ACCOUNT”. Then we move on to the next process.
Step #4: Sign in to your account:
After completing the previous step, you will be asked to login to your account using your Riot account username and password. If your account has double-protected mail verification turned on, a 6-digit code will be sent to the email address that your Riot account is linked to. Find out this code by checking your e-mail and write it in the appropriate section on the site. After successfully logging into your account, proceed to the next step.
Step #5: Click on your name in the top right and click on ‘Settings’:
After logging into your account, you will be sent back to the main page. After this process, your current name will now appear on the top right. Hover over your name and click on settings. You can also log out from this section after you’re done.
Step #6: On the Riot Account Management page that opens, navigate to the “Riot ID” section:
After clicking on the Settings section, the Riot Account Management page will open. Here are personal information, linked accounts, two-step verification, login method, communication preferences and the “RIOT ID” part, which is our main concern. We enter this part.
Step #7: Type the name or tag you want and save the changes:
There are two different replaceable parts here, Riot ID and Tag. We can change our name that will appear in the game from the “RIOT ID” section. You can enter your new name in this section. You can also enter a special tag name or number in the tag section if you want. If you haven’t changed it at all, your hashtag will most likely appear as #TR. You have the option to change this. After doing all the operations, we save the changes in the section below and our process is finished.
What should I do if the name I want to get VALORANT is already taken?
If you want to change your name in VALORANT, your new name must not have been taken by other players, but here is a great opportunity. Thanks to the tag system, it is possible to get a given name. If your new name is taken you can try to change the label. In this case, you may be able to get that name.
Is the VALORANT renaming right unlimited?
There is no officially announced limit on the name change right offered to you in the game, but there is a time limit. After a new name change in VALORANT, you have to wait a minimum of 30 days, ie 1 month, to use your next right. It is not possible to get a new name during this time. We recommend that you change the name, taking this into account.
Why is VALORANT renaming?
Finally, let’s end our article by answering this question. In general, players may not like the names they get at first, or if an esports player is in question and their team has changed, they have to change the team abbreviation at the beginning of their name. At this point, the right to change the name, which is not offered to the players in every game, has been offered by Riot Games for the VALORANT game. In short, players may resort to changing their names because they do not like their names, to use a fun new name, or if they are esports players, because their teams have changed.
