Possibility of Korean, Japanese, Chinese names on Western servers (EU,NA) and others (TR etc.)

So I've been thinking for a while, why is it no longer possible for the Western (and other servers) not to be able to use Korean, Japanese, Chinese or any other alphabet.

Now I know this was possible before with a "bug" (not sure what to call it) back in Season 2 and it got patched. Now, I've contacted support about the idea of letting users have this kind of name as the opening/release of the Japanese server is coming closer each day.

I understand its a novelty for users who already have this kind of name (an example is 잘못 on NA), but the answer I received from support was: > We currently do not support this, please post the idea on the boards.

I was, and still am, hesitant to post here about this simply due to my lack of being able to bring the idea forward in a way to gain support. But decided I'll give it a go anyway.

So would this be something that Riot would look at? And would this be something the community would like? If not, then this can be disregarded completely, no point wasting time on something no one other than a small minority may want.

I can't see why not.

The reason why I myself would like a name is because I'm half japanese myself, and I way prefer the look of Korean/JP/CN alphabets to western alphabets.

I find it silly we can't have the name we desire in a style we desire, which is pretty weird because in other games I can have it like that.

What's even weirder is that you status can be in kanji/hiragana/katakana but they're not supported in game. It's really annoying when I don't notice my keyboard is set to Japanese and I suddenly need to tab out in game.

Yeah, and you can have your rune pages/masteries in Hangul as well. So riot saying to me that they dont support it is absolute lies lol.

Otherwise the KR client wouldnt exist and neither would the upcoming JP client exist if they dont support it.
