Competitive League of Legends Names
If you're grinding Solo Queue to hit Diamond or Challenger, you need a name that shows you're taking the game seriously. Competitive players often use clean, one-to-two word names ending in "Diff" or "King" to assert dominance before the minions even spawn.
Champion & Role Specific Names
One-Trick Ponies (OTPs) form the backbone of LoL's community. If you only play Yasuo, Zed, or a specific role like Jungle, lean into it. A great role-specific name like "RoamSupport" or "JungleDiff" instantly tells your team how you want to play out the laning phase.
Funny & Meme LoL Names
League of Legends can be a stressful game, and sometimes the best way to handle it is with humor. Self-deprecating names like "CantCarry" or meme names like "Zero10Yasuo" help cut the tension when you inevitably give up first blood.
How to Change your LoL Name (Riot ID)
Riot Games recently changed how naming works. Instead of server-specific Summoner Names, everyone now has a global Riot ID:
- Log in to your account at account.riotgames.com.
- Navigate to the Riot ID section.
- Change your Game Name (the part people see) and your Tagline (the hidden # part).
- Click Save. You can change your Riot ID for free once every 90 days.
Bonus: Because taglines exist, you can use popular names even if someone else has them—as long as your tagline is unique!
How to Pick a Great League of Legends Name
The best LoL names often reference your main role, champion, or playstyle. Whether you want an intimidating name for grinding Solo Queue, or a funny pun about your favorite champion's ultimate ability, choose a name that fits your identity on the Rift.
How Does My League of Legends Name Work?
League of Legends uses the Riot ID system. Your Riot ID consists of a Display Name and a Tagline (e.g., Faker#T1). This means your display name doesn't have to be globally unique as long as the tagline is! You can change your Riot ID for free once every 90 days.
What Makes a Good LoL Name?
The best League of Legends names are often short, memorable, and reference a specific champion, role, or an inside joke within the community. One-trick ponies (players who main a single champion) frequently use highly creative puns involving their champion's abilities.
Are LoL Names Unique?
Thanks to the Riot ID system, your Display Name doesn't have to be completely unique anymore! As long as your #Tagline is different, you can have the exact same Display Name as another player. This makes it much easier to get the perfect champion name you want.
