So You Want a New Alias, Agent? Don't Get Stuck in Reyna's Leer While Changing Your Valorant Name
Let's face it, sometimes your Valorant name just doesn't hit right anymore. Maybe it was a hilarious alias in your Bronze days that now makes you cringe like a Raze satchel to the face. Or perhaps you've ascended to Radiant and your old name just doesn't project the aura of a clutch master. Whatever the reason, fear not! Changing your Valorant name is easier than dodging a Viper's Pit.
| How To Change My Name On Valorant |
Step 1: Escape the Game (For Now)
Before you dive headfirst into customization, close Valorant. Think of it like prepping a bomb site – you don't want any unwanted surprises while you're tinkering.
Step 2: Enter the Account Arena
Head over to your Riot account webpage. This is where the magic happens, like a well-placed Sage heal after a Phoenix ult.
Step 3: Find Your Inner Riot ID
Navigate to the glorious "Riot ID" tab. This is where the hero you truly are can be unleashed (or shall we say, renamed).
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
Step 4: Unleash Your Creativity (But Not Too Much)
Here comes the fun part! Craft your new Valorant name with the precision of a Jett knife. Remember, offensive or trademarked names are a big no-no, so you can't claim to be the one and only "Reyna of All." But hey, maybe "Baron Von Clutch" or "Sage of Shenanigans" is available? Don't forget the tagline too – it's your chance to add a witty quip or a dash of mystery.
Pro Tip: Avoid using special characters or symbols in your name. They might not display correctly and could make you look like a glitching Killjoy turret.
Step 5: Seal the Deal
Once you've got the perfect name, click that sweet "Save Changes" button. Now, the world (or at least the Valorant community) will know you by your new glorious title.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
Heads Up: You can only change your name once every 30 days, so make it count!
