Merge accounts/transfer skins and champs

RF Roxtar·Feb 17, 2016·3 votes·6,141 views

Okay, so. Let's imagine you have an account you leveled to 30 and decided that you want to transfer all skins/champs from another account to it instead. Does this seem like a feature you'd want Riot to add later?

I'll also note it'd have to be two accounts that are fully leveled and restricted so that someone isn't trying to avoid future bans by having, say.. two strikes or account restrictions.

Discuss!

(BMing and negativity isn't needed. This is a discussion thread, not a place to talk down on one another.)

An account merge in the case of harassment, repeated account breaches, or threats is a good idea.

I like the idea of merging accounts, I played on eune for a while bc it was the lowest ping I could get at the time. Now its NA. Id like to merge those accounts and/or just have one account that would automatically go to a region based off of my ip, ping, or region.

Riot will probably never do this, sadly. It's too much work.

Eh, debatable. I don't think it'd be difficult for them. They're pretty smart. And really all you'd be doing (more or less) is just receiving codes onto another account that would be unlocking select skins and champions.

In Riot's favor they wouldn't add in this feature for multiple reasons. But a nice feature would be an easier way to trade skins besides the 1000 up vote petition. Maybe an option that's in the store where you and your trading partner can trade skins, for security purposes make it so both users are active at the same time. This would actually allow Riot to create some exclusive mystery skins, and perhaps increase the purchase of mystery skins.

P.S Maybe add in a feature to this where you can buffer the trade with RP, so lets say I have a friend who has striker ezreal, I offer striker Lucian and a bit of rp.

With the hextech loot its not so much of a stretch to be capable of "independant" inventories for "dormant" skins/champions. Once its dormant, you can create a browser based trading system that hooks into your account-tied inventory. It would also allow account merging by riot having an executive option create "inactive" accounts where ALL champions and skins become "dormant" for the purposes of migration.

Sounds like a great idea, you should make a post.

i have one account that i have had since season one and the MMR is so bad that i had to make a new one ide like to take some of the hundreds of dollars ive spent on this game to possibly transfer some skins to my other account also i have a ton of Blue essence on my first account and ide like to see the ability to use that essence to gift champions to my other account. i dont think it should be free just like if you were to transfer your account to a diff region but i wouldnt mind spending 5 bucks to say transfer 10 skins to another account.
