Hey guys, I'm just wondering if it's possible to change your summoner name to the name of an in game champion. I was interested in this so I started looking up the profile of xin zao, annie, ahri, vi... ect. I noticed that all these accounts are level 6 that don't have a match history. Does riot have it like this so people can't get these names or does somebody have all of these accounts?

If someone has all these accounts how do they keep them for being inactive for so long? I thought that after 6 moths of inactivity (at level 6) that the names would become available. Does anyone have extra information on this?

People secure names so they can sell it later, or just keep it for themselves. But, if somebody is inactive for a while, you can ticket Riot to open up their name for you.

Basically this. Someone will always change their name or make a new account at the first whiff of a new champion. It's where the glory or the money is.

People sell names? How can I buy one? I am personally interested in "annie" as a name

I'm sure there's a black market out there, but no one would be foolish enough to post it. Selling anything league related is against the terms of service.
