How to check for when you joined League of Legends

Gustavbrain·May 25, 2015·8 votes·35,635 views

Would someone please let me know how to know the exact date when I joined league?

Edit: Advice from the people in the comments thus far:

"Check your email that you registered with - Search for "Riot", And check what the earliest email from them is(Welcome to League Of Legends! Or whatever), that oughta be the time you created your account.

Go into your program files, go to your LoL folder. Sort by date modified. Find the earliest date modified. That oughta be when you downloaded the game. Or, if you're like me and you have a folder full of installers(For every game I've ever downloaded), just check the date of when that installer was added." -Simply Intricate

"I don't think it's possible to check for an exact date besides maybe submitting some sort of ticket, but you can take a look at the (admittedly outdated) interactive timeline and see what the earliest thing you can remember is. Assuming you didn't join really really recently, that is. (http://timeline.leagueoflegends.com/)" -Maratsune

"Try going to the LoL wiki, and, if you can remember the free rotation active when you started League, find it to give you the approximate week of your starting. Not exact, but something: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Free_champion_rotation " -Gustavbrain

I don't think that information is public, it's not even on their API. The best you can return, information wise, on a summoner is this:

{"aucun50": { "id": 39868387, "name": "Aucun50", "profileIconId": 779, "revisionDate": 1432455271000, "summonerLevel": 30 }}

Where revisionDate is the last modification date in milliseconds.

Cant you just check your computer for the date you downloaded the files necessary to play league?

A lot of people re-downloaded and reinstalled their computers during the existence of league of legends.

But if you didn't, you are probably running Windows Vista/7 so find your league folder (default location C:\Riot Games), right click it and select properties.

Just check your email, search for Riot Games and go to the very first thing. That's what I do whenever I want to see when I started.

Edit: Even better: Just search "Welcome to league" into your email, should be the very last thing to pop up on the list.

The two best methods(IMO) Are already posted, but I'll re-post them together in one post for the helluvit.

Check your email that you registered with - Search for "Riot", And check what the earliest email from them is(Welcome to League Of Legends! Or whatever), that oughta be the time you created your account.
Go into your program files, go to your LoL folder. Sort by date modified. Find the earliest date modified. That oughta be when you downloaded the game. Or, if you're like me and you have a folder full of installers(For every game I've ever downloaded), just check the date of when that installer was added.

So if your email cleans itself after a certain period of time and you've reinstalled league, you're screwed?

I'd imagine yes, you're pretty much screwed on that. I mean, you could possibly send them a support ticket, or look back through your billing(I used Paypal to purchase RP during my first week to buy a champ bundle, so I can always go back and check on that in my payment history), or something.. But other than that, I can't think of any other simple method.
