A tagline in League of Legends is the four‑character identifier attached to your Riot ID that distinguishes you from other players who share the same display name. Introduced in late 2023, Riot ID now consists of two parts: a Game Name (your chosen handle) and a Tagline (a unique code) separated by a hash symbol (for example, Summoner123#ABCD).
Why Riot Introduced Taglines
Before November 2023, League relied solely on unique summoner names — forcing players to pick increasingly obscure handles as the player base grew. Taglines solve this by allowing everyone to claim the display name they want while ensuring each Riot ID remains unique. The result is a simpler, more intuitive identity system across all Riot Games titles.
How Taglines Work
● Format: Four alphanumeric characters (letters A–Z and numbers 0–9).
● Region‑Neutral: Taglines are global; they do not indicate server region.
● Immutable: Once assigned, a tagline cannot be changed independently — changing your Riot ID resets both your Game Name and Tagline.
Finding and Changing Your Tagline
1. Log into the League client.
2. Click the profile icon in the top right.
3. Select Account Settings, then Riot ID.
4. Your current Game Name and Tagline appear side by side.
5. To update, edit the Game Name field; a new tagline will auto‑generate if your chosen name is already taken.
Why It Matters
Taglines streamline friend invites and in‑game mentions by removing the need for region prefixes or unique summoner names. They also unify identity across Riot’s ecosystem — your League ID, Valorant ID, and Riot Mobile ID all share the same Game Name#Tagline format.
Key Takeaways
● A tagline is not your server region — it’s a unique code for your Riot ID.
● It enables duplicate display names, simplifying account creation and social connections.
● Changing your Riot ID updates both your Game Name and tagline simultaneously.
In short, League of Legends’ tagline system modernizes player identity, making it easier than ever to connect with friends — even if you all want the same summoner name.
