Disable accounts below level 10 that are inactive for 1 year

Please, there are so many account names I want but they're all taken by some level 5-10(or sometimes even level 1 who's never even played the tutorial) accounts that haven't been active in forever. Sure, people who play once every couple months or weeks are fine. Hence why I put "inactive for 1 year." But when they've never even been played for more than five games and then inactive since the creation of League it just pisses me off because I want one of those names too and I'd actually put it to use.

Pls Rito I want the name "Worst Teemo Ever", but its taken from some level 6 support main who hasn't played on it in who-knows-how-long.

EDIT: Yay, apparently there's already this feature. So many names are taken I didn't think there was.

There's already something in place for this. Accounts from levels 1-6 can have their summoner names taken once they are inactive for 6 months, and accounts higher than level 6 have 1 month of inactivity added to that protection.

Also, you can only take those summoner names by purchasing a summoner name change. You can't just create a new account and have it start with one of those names.

I believe it's meant to protect the streamers, professionals and LCS

I say professionals because some stream gamers actually make money off of it

but, simply put, say someone moved on to another game, their account name would be vulnerable to someone defacing it...there's already the problem of imitators
