Are you getting tired of seeing that hashtag under your name each time you play Valorant? Maybe you want to mix it up and show some solidarity with a tag that fits your group?
Changing your hashtag or “tagline” in Valorant should be as easy as going into your settings, but unfortunately, it’s not.
So, if you looked all over the Valorant menu looking for tagline change settings and couldn’t find them, you aren’t going crazy. You’re just looking in the wrong place.
Keep reading to find out exactly what taglines mean in Valorant as well as where to go to change it.
How to Change Tagline on Valorant?
Your Valorant tagline is tied to your Riot ID and is used across their different IPs like League of Legends and Team Fight Tactics. Unlike those other games, though, you don’t have to use Riot Points (RP) to change it – at least for now.
To be clear, your Riot ID is a combination of your display name and a tagline underneath. Most people have a tagline or hashtag based on their region or a combination of auto-generated numbers. You can change it and personalize it.
So, if you’re ready to change your tagline, check out the steps below:
- Exit out of the game if you have it running.
- Go to the official Riot Games website OR search “Riot Games” and select “Riot Account.”
- Log in to Riot Games.
- Select Riot ID from the left pane options of the displayed account information box. You’re allowed to change your ID every 31 days. If it’s been over 31 days since your last change, you’ll see the option to enter a new Riot ID below your current one. However, if you still have time left before your next available change, the requisite wait time is listed below your current ID.
- Enter your new Riot ID in the first text box.
- Enter a new hashtag in the second text box.
- Press the ‘’Submit’’ button at the bottom of the screen.
- Launch Valorant again and check out your new Valorant name and hashtag.
Before you select a new display name, keep in mind that Riot is currently forcing players to change IDs that they believe are offensive. This includes slurs and hate speech as well as names that the platform deems in violation of their Code of Conduct.

What Is a Tagline in Valorant?
A tagline in Valorant is the hashtag made up of a series of letters and numbers. It helps differentiate you from other players who may have the same display name as you. It’s also a necessary component because your friends can’t add you without it.
When you first sign-up for a Riot account and sign in to Valorant, you won’t be able to pick your tagline. The hashtag is automatically generated for you. However, you don’t have to keep that hashtag if you have something better in mind. Head to the official Riot website and check out your account page and go to the Riot ID tab to personalize it.
How Do I Find My Tagline Valorant?
To see your tagline, head over to Riot Games’ official website and log in to view your account page. Select the Riot ID tab to view your display name and hashtag or tagline.
Can You Change Your Riot Tagline?
You can change your Riot tagline, but it follows the same necessary cooling-off period of 31 days. You can only make changes to your display name, tagline, or both once every 31 days. Choose your new IDs carefully, though, because if you don’t like them you need to wait a month to change them again.
How Do I Add Someone to My Valorant List?
Adding friends to your list in Valorant is a simple process. Just make sure you have their Riot ID and Tagline and follow the steps below:

• Enter your friend’s Riot ID and Tagline information in the text boxes.
• Press the plus sign button to the right of the boxes to search for their Riot information.
• Wait for your friend to accept the request.
• Once they accept, they’re added to your list.
Unify With the Right Taglines
You may get a list of seemingly random letters and numbers when you first log in to the game, but that doesn’t mean you need to keep it forever. Taglines are a great way to identify and unify gaming clans in multiplayer games. They’re also a great way to make sure you’re adding the right person to your friends’ list.
Just remember that you can only change your display name and hashtag once a month, so make sure that you pick one you won’t regret. Otherwise, you’ll have to spend an entire month as the butt of all your friends’ jokes until you can get a new one.
