Name Change
So I was hoping to change my name soon, but the name I want is taken. The player "Sloth" has not been active since January 1st, 2015. Not sure why I cannot have the name. Help me.

Hey!
As others have mentioned, there's a grace period for inactivity depending on the level. This support page givees you a better break down of how we handle Summoner name clean ups.
TL;DR -
- Each Summoner name will have 6 months of inactivity protection upon creation.
- Each Summoner name will earn an additional month of inactivity protection for each Summoner level above 6.
- Inactivity is defined to be a period in which no games of any kind have been played on the account.
- When inactivity protection expires, your name will be available to be claimed through the Summoner name Change service in the store.
it depends on there levle and elo i think its like a year and couple months untill you can use that name
Its 6 months + 1 month for every level they are above "x" i dont know what level it starts but you can probbably look it up

If you are looking at the profile of a summoner who isn't your friend you will only see ranked games in their match history. Sloth last played a ranked game in January. A search of the summoner name "Sloth" on lolking reveals 2 normal games played in the last 2 months.
