Making It Easier Than Ever to Connect with Friends in League & VAL! (opens in new tab)

Discord and Riot are introducing account linking to make it easier to play League of Legends and VALORANT with Discord friends. Once linked, players can find friends, invite them to parties, share join links, and view game activity without switching between clients. The integration is available in regions where both services are supported and can be disconnected at any time. ## Faster Party Invites Through Discord - Linked accounts let players see which Discord friends play League or VALORANT directly in the in-game friends list. - Players can invite Discord friends to their party from the game. - Party join links can be shared in Discord servers, direct messages, or elsewhere. - Discord displays friends’ game status, including match duration and party size. ## Linking Riot and Discord Accounts - In Discord, open **User Settings → Connections**. - Select the Riot Games connection, possibly through **View More**. - Review the requested permissions and follow the authorization prompts. - Accounts can also be linked through Riot’s in-game client account-management pages. ## Data Sharing and Availability - The integration shares only information needed for its features, such as Riot ID, Discord account details, and game status. - Depending on authorization, it can access friends lists, manage friend connections, update activity status, and send or receive game invites. - A permissions screen appears before linking, and users can unlink their accounts from Discord settings. - Features are available where both Riot and Discord services are supported. Players who regularly coordinate League or VALORANT sessions should link their accounts to reduce the friction of finding and inviting friends.
