How to change display name and tagline in Valorant

Players in Valorant all have a display name, known as your Riot ID, that teammates as well as opponents can see. Then, there is also the Riot username that is used to log in to your Valorant account to play the game. While it is possible to change your Riot ID, and the display name, it is not possible to change your username.

The Riot ID, or display name, consists of a chosen name that other players can also see, and it is suffixed by a tagline. This tagline is attached to a display name to create an overall unique display name.

The display name can be anything you like, regardless of whether it is already taken or not, and that is why the tagline exists, so as to ensure that the account can be uniquely identified. You can also change your tagline, but it needs to be unique.

How to change your display name in Valorant

1. Go to the Riot Account login page.
2. Log in to your Riot account.
3. Head to the Riot ID tab.
4. Under ‘Game Name’ section, enter your desired Valorant display name.
5. You can also enter your desired tagline in the next field.
6. Click ‘Save Changes’ to confirm your new display name.

Gamers who play multiple Riot Games titles can choose different display names for all their games. This means that changes made to your Valorant display name, will not alter your display name in League of Legends, or any other Riot game.

It is only possible to change your Riot ID once every 30 days, so give it a good thought before finalizing the change. Also, make sure that the display name does not contain offensive language, as it can lead to a suspension or permanent ban on your account.
