Can't keep my old username?

I feel my old username for my league account was pretty unique, but I have to create my riot account only to find it has been taken?

I get people can't see it, but that username has a lot of personal history behind it and it meant a lot to me. I don't think someone would have taken it, and it just seems odd. Also why not just reserve the names of created league accounts? Seems like poor oversight.

I just wish I could have kept it, but I guess that chance is gone.

There are, like, a dozen threads about this. You COULD have kept it if you had looked.

I just got this resolved. It seems it was my PBE account getting in the way. Copy that link to the name change, open a "Incognito window" to clear any presignin information you may have saved, and post the URL (https://update-account.riotgames.com/) Change the drop down "NA" to "Public Beta" and change your name on there instead to like...your name PBE or something. That worked for me and let me back into my account!
