How fast time has passed! When we look back, we see that Riot Games released League of Legends in October 27, 2009, more than 13 years ago. The game is still dynamic and alive and has millions of players around the world. When it was first released, League of Legends did not have these numbers in player count, but they escalated quickly. And if you are one of the players that have been playing the game for so long, you might wonder: "When was my League account created?". After all the age of your account would not only show how many years you have put into this game, but also help you to determine the value of your account. So, we have prepared some answers for the question “How to tell how old your League account is?.”
It would be great if we had access to this information in the League of Legends account data, but sadly, this is not the case. The most convenient method of telling "how old your League account is", is to check your emails. Just sign into the email account that you have registered to your League of Legends account (If you still have access to it!). Then, type riot games, riot ID, or welcome to League to the search bar to find the first email that Riot Games sent you.
Riot Games may have changed its welcoming mail subject, so don't worry if you cannot find the first mail by typing to the search bar. If this did not work, try to filter your search on your email dashboard by selecting “From” and “Any Time.”
You may also try to directly write Riot's email addresses. One of the “no-reply” e-mail addresses of the Riot Games is shown below.
In the end, you can find emails with information such as ticket history, account modifications or even the first email that Riot Games has sent you. The subject of the e-mail can differ from account to account depending on the account's age. But it will be something like “Welcome to League of Legends'' or “A Riot ID has been created.” The date of this email would show you the exact first day you started playing League. Then, you can calculate the exact age of your account.
Surely, this method cannot be a solution for you if you delete your mailbox regularly. Also, if your account login history is very old the chances of finding the first email are very low. But no worries, there are other methods.
The support team of the Riot Games is usually nice to players and will do everything to help you in this matter. Do not hesitate to contact them as knowing your account's age is your right. You can go to the Riot Games Support website and create a ticket. To create a ticket, simply click “Submit a Ticket” and fill in your contact details. Depending on the availability, the support will reach you as soon as possible and tell you the account age of your Riot account.
Thanks to EU GDPR laws and Californian Privacy act you can request your data from Riot Games. They are obliged to provide you with all information that they are storing about your account. This includes chat messages with date included (you can even see the last three months' or the past 100 games' worth of in game chat logs!). This is a foolproof way to check the age of your account, but it might not work if you are living outside California and the European Union. You can read more about the process on Riot's website.
If Riot Games are unable to help you on this matter for some reason, you can still keep digging. There are many websites or software that show League of Legends accounts' details, and although they cannot directly inform you how many birthdays your account has had, they can tell you numerous different things. Wonder no more if you wanted to know how many wins you have had, what is your performance on certain champions like, your stats such as KDA average, and so on. To learn how old is your League account, you might browse through these websites and try to find your first game in the League of Legends. Surely, -- and even though it is very less likely -- the first game that you played in the account might not be the first day when you created your League account. But this would still give you a pretty good idea about your League account's age.
If you still fail to find any clue about your League account's age, there are other methods that can help you to predict your account's age in the League of Legends.
Examine your inventory: Try to look for the oldest skins or items that you acquired in the past. You might remember that you got one of the skins at a particular time and find info on when you acquired the skin. This will not give you a precise date, but it is still a great method to estimate your LoL account's age.
Chats with your friends: If you are one of those people who'd never ever clear their chat boxes, then this method would be very useful to you. Simply browse through the oldest message you received or sent to the League client. Just like examining skins and items, this will not give you a very precise date but a strong estimation.
