In the world of League of Legends, time is currency. After hundreds—or even thousands—of games, you might start to wonder: How much is my account actually worth? While Riot Games doesn’t support or condone account selling, the curiosity is real. And depending on what’s in your inventory, your account could be worth quite a bit—at least in theory.
So how do you estimate the value of a League account? The answer depends on a mix of in-game progress, cosmetics, exclusivity, and even reputation.
Skins: The Core of Account Value
Skins are by far the biggest contributor to account value. If you’ve been playing for years and consistently purchased event skins, battle passes, or prestige content, you may be sitting on a small fortune in cosmetics.
Factors that increase skin value:
- Number of legacy or vaulted skins (e.g., PAX Twisted Fate, UFO Corki, Black Alistar)
- Total number of skins owned
- Ownership of Prestige, Mythic, or Ultimate skins (like Elementalist Lux or Gun Goddess Miss Fortune)
- Rare chromas or event-exclusive borders
Even standard skins can add up quickly. With most costing between 975 and 1350 RP, the dollar value of your skin library could easily exceed several hundred euros or more.
Champions and Progress
Accounts with all champions unlocked are more desirable. While this is easier to achieve now than in the past, it still represents a time investment—or a financial one, if you’ve bought them with RP.
Other progress-related value points:
- High Summoner Level (though this is mostly cosmetic now)
- Unlocked runes, emotes, ward skins, and icons
- Full mastery pages and champion mastery scores
Rank and MMR
Your current or previous rank can also affect how others perceive the value of an account. Old accounts with high-ranked rewards (such as ranked borders, Victorious skins, or Clash trophies) are often seen as more prestigious.
However, rank value is temporary. An account in Platinum or Diamond one season could decay if left inactive. Still, accounts with a consistent history of climbing may be viewed as more “legit” or experienced.
What About Real-World Value?
If you’re trying to calculate your account’s real-world worth in monetary terms, it’s tricky. Riot explicitly prohibits buying and selling accounts, and doing so can result in bans or lost access. Still, unofficial markets exist, and prices range wildly.
Typical pricing factors include:
- Number and rarity of skins
- Current and past rank
- Clean disciplinary record
- Region and server
In underground markets, accounts with dozens of skins and decent ranks can go for anywhere between €50 and €500+. Extremely rare accounts, especially with legacy skins no longer obtainable, might be “valued” even higher—though finding a buyer willing to pay that price is another story.
Final Thoughts
Your League of Legends account is more than just numbers and skins—it’s a record of your time, your wins and losses, your best plays and your worst tilts. Its real worth? That depends on what value you place on your personal history in the game.
Sure, you can estimate a rough market value based on skins and progress, but in the end, it’s your digital trophy case. And for most players, that’s priceless.
