People just make accounts to take names so no one else can have them, and its super annoying when you go to get a name change just to see that it is taken by a level 1 account with 0 XP. Wouldn't 1 or 2 months work to cut down on accounts that only exist to hoard names from other players.

Scrambled Anivia3 votesi think my names pretty damn original [slayer-jinx-catface]
Sarutobi2 votesHonestly i like the protection they have, but i will admit. An account that is level 1, no exp, no matches played shouldnt be locked. At the very least there should be at least one game played especially since thats the requirement in order to keep the account locked. Are you sure though that you cannot take the name? if i remember correctly newly created accounts cannot take "locked" names. Its only available to people who buy a name change. But i understand having to wait on a name. I had to wait a good 3-4 years (i think) for my name, got it when they first announced a name swipe for old name, and was lucky enough to get this name!

You want original? If you have Steam, go and search for my name in it. You'll have one result... and that single result is me.

But someone has your name now. See my name (not my IGN) is very original so no one has ever has it or ever will. But I do understand where your coming from.
