Riot Games became the publisher of VALORANT, Teamflight Tactics, LoL Wild Rift and many more games in 2020 from being a League of Legends company. That’s why the developer reworked the username and account system and made a few major changes. Instead of a separate account for each game, a single account called Riot ID was activated. This global account is all you need to log into any Riot game, including Valorant. The name change process in Valorant is not the same as League of Legends or any other Riot game. You don’t need to spend in-game currency to change nicknames in Valorant and the process is completely free. Let’s see how to change Riot ID.
