Accessing the Profile Section
Head to the top-right corner of the client, where you'll find your profile icon and username. This is the gateway to accessing the Profile Section, where you'll start customizing your champion icon.
Click on your profile icon to open the dropdown menu. You'll see options like 'Profile' and 'Settings'. Select 'Profile' to access the Profile Section, where you can view and customize your profile information, including your champion icon.
In the Profile Section, you'll find a wealth of information, including your match history, summoner information, and other relevant data. Take a moment to explore this section and get familiar with the layout. You'll notice the 'Edit' button next to your champion icon, which we'll get to soon.
For now, let's focus on getting comfortable in the Profile Section. This is your hub for customizing your profile and making changes to your champion icon.
Navigating to the Icon Tab
Now that you're comfortable in the Profile Section, click on the 'Icons' tab, located alongside other tabs like 'Overview' and 'Match History', to access the champion icon customization options.
This is where the magic happens, and you'll finally get to change that default icon that's been staring back at you since you joined the League of Legends community.
As you navigate to the Icon tab, you'll notice a sleek and intuitive interface designed to make your icon-switching experience seamless. The attention to detail that Riot Games has put into this section is impressive – it's clear they want you to have fun exploring your options.
You'll find a vast array of icons to choose from, each with its unique flair and personality. Whether you're a fan of a specific champion or want to showcase your personal style, the Icon tab has got you covered. So, take your time, browse through the options, and get ready to level up your League of Legends experience with a fresh new icon that reflects who you're as a player.
Selecting Your Desired Icon
With your Icon tab open, you're just a few clicks away from finding the perfect champion icon that reflects your personality and playstyle.
You can browse through the available options and select the one that resonates with you.
As you scroll through the icons, your cursor will glide effortlessly across the screen, helping you navigate the selection.
Take your time, and don't be afraid to explore different categories or themes until you find the one that speaks to you.
Remember, your champion icon is a representation of your unique identity in the game, so choose wisely!
Since there's no built-in option to change the champion icon in the game settings, you might need to rely on third-party tools or mods to customize your champion's appearance.
But don't worry, with the right tools, you'll be able to find an icon that perfectly captures your gaming persona.
Saving Your New Icon
You've finally found the perfect champion icon, and now it's time to make it official.
To ensure your icon looks great, head over to the 'Interface' section in the in-game settings and adjust the 'HUD Scale' to get the perfect fit. If you're using a custom icon, double-check that it meets the game's aspect ratio and size requirements to avoid any display issues.
Once you're satisfied with your icon, click 'Save Changes' at the bottom of the settings page. This step is crucial to prevent your icon from reverting to the default.
After saving, your new icon will be visible to you and your allies in the champion select screen, scoreboard, and above your champion's head in-game. To confirm the change, check the champion select screen or scoreboard during a custom game or vs. AI match.
Now, move your cursor to the champion select screen and admire your handiwork!
Verifying the Icon Change
You've made it this far, and now it's crucial to confirm that your new icon is visible to you and others.
To verify the icon change, start by checking your champion's profile page. Your new icon should be displayed next to your champion's name.
Next, verify that the updated icon is visible on the in-game champion select screen. If you don't see the change, try restarting your client or checking for any pending updates.
If you've tried the above steps and still don't see your new icon, it may take some time for the icon change to propagate across all Riot Games' servers. Wait a few minutes and then check again.
If you've followed these steps and still don't see your new icon, you can contact Riot Games' customer support for assistance.
Conclusion
You've got a fresh new champion icon that's grabbing attention on the champion select screen, scoreboard, and profile page. It's a reflection of your gaming skills and a badge of honor that showcases your unique style.
When you're browsing through the lobby, your new icon stands out, giving you an edge over your opponents.
By following these easy steps, you've just leveled up your League of Legends experience.
Get ready to dominate the rift with your fresh new look!
