Is it permissible to gift your account to another player?

I'm not planning to do this right now, and I don't know if I ever will, but I'm pretty much never playing league these days, and my account has a bunch of content unlocked - orange essence, champions, some skin shards, a bunch of random icons, a few skins...

I totally get that it would be iffy to give a high mmr account away, but my acc is like high silver mmr at best, probably lower from decay. And I've played for years, so there's no "Well maybe you're systematically botting accounts up and selling them".

Plus I'd obviously not accept any compensation for it, monetary or otherwise.

I know it's probably technically against the ToS, but I was hoping I could get some official Riot thoughts...maybe I could even get them to facilitate it.

Anyway, league's a fine game I guess, just not as into it anymore and I'd be happier giifting account to someone than letting it sit and gather dust.

I'm 95% confident that the answer to your question is gonna be no, but you should send in a support ticket just to be sure

Almost definitely against the ToS.

I feel your sentiment, but it's better not to risk it, cause if it gets caught, the account will be deactivated and everyone loses the stuff. If you keep it, you can always come back later.

It's still account sharing so it's not allowed

Yeah account sharing is against the rules so probably not, even if youre giving it away and not sharing it. I would just do it with someone you know privately though. Why not? Theres alwaysthe chance that person will get the account banned, or Riot will recognize the drastic difference in playstyle/patterns, and ban it for security purposes, or for boosting. (Depending how good the new account holder is) So if you do give it away, have the full expectation of never getting it back. (Btw im high silver and ill take it! Lol)

It's the equivalent of speeding. Is it legal to go 75mph in a 60mph zone? No. Everyone does it anyway. There's a huge difference between what you can or can not do on paper and what the realistic actions are taken in real life. It's up to you if you want to risk getting caught or not.
