Bored with your current Valorant username and thinking of changing it to something fun and interesting? But how to change your name on Valorant?
Here I have shown how you can easily change your display name on Valorant for free.
Changing Valorant Display Name
Riot games started off with their biggest hit, League of Legends, back in 2009.
With the massive success of LoL, Riot games started publishing other games like Wild Rift, Valorant, Teamfight tactics, and legends of Runeterra.
Instead of focusing on multiple accounts for multiple games, Riot decided to create a united account for all the games.
Valorant’s displayed name is directly taken from the user’s Riot account’s user ID. Changing the Riot ID will also change the displayed name on Valorant.
However, users can only change their names once in 30 days. Once you change your Valorant name, you will have to wait for 30 days before you can change it again.
Here is how you can change your Riot ID and change name in Valorant:
- First close Valorant on your PC.
- Right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager.
- Find Valorant or anything with Riot and right-click on it. Select End Task to close them.
- Now, open this link and login to your Riot account.
- Makes sure the Riot ID option is selected on the left side, under Account Management.
- On the Riot ID section, change the Riot ID to what you want and it would change the Valorant Display name to it.
That’s it. This will change your Valorant display name. Easy wasn’t it?
Try it for yourself and think of something creative to change your name to for some extra fun.
Is Changing Valorant Display Name Free?
Yes, changing Valorant’s display name is completely free. Riot games doesn’t provide this privilege to all its games.
To change names in League of Legends, users have to spend in-game currency, which is quite a bummer for league players.
Same thing applies for Legends of Runeterra players, as they also have to use in-game currency in order to change their names.
Thankfully, this doesn’t apply for Valorant and you can easily change the Valorant displayed name by changing the Riot ID as shown above.
Why Change Valorant Name?
There can be various reasons for changing your Valorant name. Mainly it provides your account a distinct identity.
For players striving to make a name in the competitive part of Valorant, having a good, catchy and distinct name will help them a lot if they have the skills to succeed.
A good name will stick with viewers when the players pulls off a crazy play, while common names will get forgotten.
For regular players, changing names can be a fun endeavor to have fun with your friends and opponents alike. Nothing is better than playing with a troll name and getting a silly kill to rub it further.
