Valorant name change – Many roads lead to Rome – and in order to change your username to VALORANT, a little detour via Riot Games itself is necessary. Since the game developer grants you access to all of their titles – from League of Legends to Runeterra to VALORANT – via a single ID, you can also manage your in-game name via this account. To do this, first visit the official Valorant page, select the “Play Now” field in the top right corner and log in with your Riot Games account information.
You can change them all once for 30 days.

On the next page you fold out the options under your account name and select the field “Settings”. Here you will be asked again for your password and you may have to wait for a confirmation email with a code before you can continue. When you are finally verified, click on the option “Riot ID” and click on the edit icon.
If you click on the icon, you can redefine and save both your ID and the hashtag behind it. The change will then be visible directly in the game. Make sure, however, that you have not made a mistake and that you really want to have your ID – because if you have changed it once, you will only get the chance to do so again after 30 days!

Players hoping to transfer accounts across regions without having progress erased are offered the opportunity to ask Valorant-Nov. 19 about the possibility.
“Will we ever be able to transfer account regions without sacrificing hundreds of hours of progress and hundreds of dollars worth of skins?”, said Naoise Creaven, Riot’s Senior Producer.
“The goal is to get it available by the middle of 2021, which is something we definitely recognize is important and is the second-highest priority for Valorant. We’d prefer this option to come sooner, but it looks like we should have it available by the middle of 2021.”
Those stuck in the wrong domain will be able to transfer their accounts to another before the middle of 2021, allowing them to keep their accounts without affecting them. That’s welcome news for those who have already invested time and money into their accounts.
