How to Change Regions in League of Legends from TomRiva's blog

Players may have various reasons for wanting to change their League of Legends region, whether it's due to latency issues on the server, a desire to experience region-specific gameplay styles, or simply making a mistake and selecting the wrong region. Whatever your reason, there is a way to change regions and enjoy the best (and sometimes worst) of League of Legends gameplay in a different location.

How to Change Region on League Client Without VPN

While there used to be an option to change regions within League, it seems that changing regions on existing LoL Accounts is no longer possible. In the past, players could spend 2,600 RP for a one-time region transfer, but as reported by Dot Esports, these options have disappeared.

If you still have access to them, follow these steps to change your account's region:

  • Open your League client.
  • Click on the store icon next to your RP and Blue Essence amounts.
  • Click on the account icon in the top right corner of the store (a screenshot is provided below for reference).
  • Choose the region you want to change to. This transaction will cost you 2,600 RP, roughly equivalent to around $23 in real life.
  • Progress through the transaction after receiving a warning from Riot about potential issues when changing regions.
  • Log out and log back in to ensure everything runs as expected.

However, it's worth noting that some regions, such as China and Korea, even require players to register with real identification. Therefore, unless you have valid ID for those locations, you won't be able to access League servers in those regions. After completing this process, you should have a new LoL account on the desired server region.

When you change regions, your rank, honor level, clash progress, and more will be reset. However, your skins will be retained!

How to Use VPN to Change Region on League Client

If you wish to play on League servers in different regions, you might need to create a new account specifically for that region. To do this, you might need to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). While VPNs can be very useful, they come at a cost that might discourage many.

However, if you're still interested, you should look for a VPN that suits you best, purchase and install it on your PC, select a location within the League region you want to play in on the VPN, and then create a new profile.

After the first-ever strike in League history, two weeks of delays, and plenty of controversy in between, the 2023 LCS Summer Split is finally here. The North American League of Legends community has been buzzing ever since the LCS Players Association decided to protest Riot Games' recent decisions regarding the secondary league in the region. But now, all 10 teams are geared up for another intense split, competing for regional trophies and the chance to represent their hometowns at the 2023 World Championship in South Korea.

Due to the strike and delays, however, the LCS will be played over the course of the next six weeks on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays to make up for missed match days. As a result, players will be pushed to their limits, with only the best teams making it to the playoffs and striving to conquer the peak of North America.
