Summoners!

We recently announced that we would be performing a much requested cleanup of the player database, reclaiming those summoner names that had been registered to accounts that had never played a game of League of Legends through our matchmaking system. As of today, we have completed this bit of housekeeping, and as a result quite a few summoner names have been freed up for use by active players.

In the wake of the reclamation, over 460,000 summoner names were cleared to make way for the new generation of League of Legends players and those of you going through a mild identity crisis. So whether you’re a new player ready to start an account or a seasoned veteran looking for a name change, now’s the time!

If you’ve been contemplating picking up a new summoner name, head over to the ‘Other’ tab of the League of Legends store and see if your desired name has become available!
