Summoner Name Clean Up

Riot is really overdoing their policy on what defines an inactive account and what doesn't. Being blocked just because a player has 200 wins in total from every gamemode and reached level 30 is absurd. The name that I want, his or her account has almost been unused for a year. Great, huh? That means that I only have to wait one and a half more years until I can finally grab the name!

My point is that waiting enormous amounts of time only for an account name to become available is stupid. If they've been gone for a year, they're probably not coming back any time soon. That's what I think is enough. One year, then it's possible to namechange into whatever's been taken. It's not really a negative experience, as if they decide to stop playing League, they shouldn't recieve the glory of denying us a great available name. (sure my name is great, but the one I seek would simply be the best out of the best). Besides, they get a free namechange. So they litterally have nothing to complain about when they return.

I have linked Riot's own FAQ on inactive Summoner Names, which they wrote a long time ago when they began making our lives better.

I think its very fair how they been doing with the rules on Name Clean Ups! People might have problems that makes it so you cant use the internet, or have a computer (that would allow you to play the game). this could probably go on for a couple weeks/months, maybe even years. How would you feel if something like that happen to you, and finally being able to start playing again only to have something like your name changed? it would suck especially if its a name you usually use for your games.I feel people just need to be more creative with their names. If its something common, or popular expect it to be taken. if by chance they have stop playing then the waiting game is to be played. if you want the name that badly just wait!
