League of Legends now uses a Riot ID — a display name plus a #tagline (like Midlane#EUW) that together stay unique, replacing the old standalone summoner name. Type a base above and copy a styled version into your account at riotgames.com → Riot ID, or change it in the client. The display name accepts a good range of Unicode, so small-caps, gothic and symbol-framed names paste cleanly, while the tagline is limited to letters and numbers, so keep the fancy glyphs in the name itself. The strongest summoner name ideas are themed — pick a champion vibe, a lane role, or an objective callout like Baron Steal or Rift Herald and give it one sharp accent so it reads in champ select and on the scoreboard. Because uniqueness now lives in the tagline, a short word that was squatted on your server for a decade may finally be usable as your display name. Riot enforces a name policy and throttles edits, so preview the look before locking it. Everything here is copy-and-paste Unicode, so your name renders the same across every region and on the mobile companion app.

Summoner names are gone — here is what replaced them
In late 2023 Riot retired standalone summoner names and moved League onto Riot IDs: a display name plus a #tagline, three to five characters long, that you can customize. The big consequence is that display names are no longer unique per region — a word locked on your server for a decade can now sit in your name, because the tagline handles uniqueness instead.
Picking a name that reads in champ select
Lane and objective vocabulary lands best: Midlane, Baron Steal, Solokill and Rift Herald all announce how you play before the draft finishes. Give the word one sharp accent — small caps or a single 亗 — and leave the tagline plain, since it only accepts letters and numbers. Edits go through your Riot account page and are throttled to every few months, so preview here before saving.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change my name in League of Legends?+
Edit your Riot ID at account.riotgames.com or in the client. Changes are free but throttled — roughly one every 90 days — and update across League, TFT and Valorant at once.
What happened to summoner names in LoL?+
Riot replaced standalone summoner names with the Riot ID system — a display name plus a #tagline — so two players can now share the same visible name across regions.
Can two players have the same name in League now?+
Yes. Since Riot IDs replaced summoner names, the #tagline carries uniqueness, so any display name can be shared. That freed up short OG words that were locked for years on older servers.
Do symbols work in LoL Riot IDs?+
Many Unicode fonts and symbols work in the display name, but the #tagline only accepts plain letters and numbers. If a name is rejected, simplify the glyphs and retry.
What is the #tagline in League?+
It is a short suffix (like #EUW) that keeps Riot IDs unique. You can customize it with 3–5 letters and digits — no fancy fonts there.
What makes a good summoner name?+
A themed word — champion vibe, lane role, or fantasy term — with a single sharp accent reads best in champ select and on the scoreboard. Keep it short and callable.
