Valorant was established by Riot Games in mid-2020. This game gained a ton of popularity thanks to the pandemic and rose through the gaming ranks almost instantly. I started playing it because of all the time I spent indoors due to the curfews and restrictions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. In all that time, I’ve found Valorant to be a captivating and interesting pastime to help while away time. If you are a shooter enthusiast, you will find this game entertaining and addictive.

Valorant is a multi-player first-person shooting game developed using the Unreal Engine and is only available on Windows computers. As of 2023, Valorant has over 17.2 million players. There are 23 characters in the game that you can choose from. Each character comes with unique skills and abilities. These characters include:

• Brimstone
• Phoenix
• Sage
• Sova
• Viper
• Cypher
• Reyna
• Killjoy
• Breach
• Omen
• Jett
• Raze
• Skye
• Yoru
• Astra
• Kay/o
• Chamber
• Neon
• Fade
• Harbor
• Gekko
• Deadlock
• Iso

Apart from familiarizing yourself with the characters (referred to as “agents” in the game) and lingo, such as ace, flawless, crossfire, and baiting, you also need to pick a good username. A Valiant username is an identifier you will use to represent yourself in the game. Players who have earned a reputation among the game’s community tend to have intriguing and powerful names.

Here, I offer you some great ideas if you want to change your Valorant name and come up with a triumphant persona or if it’s your first time playing the game and you are unsure what name to go for. Read on for suggestions on the best Valorant names.

What to Consider When Choosing a Valorant Username

One study established that the names used by video game players reflect their developmental, psychological, and cognitive processes. For example, people with anti-social names behave in an anti-social way. Also, players’ real-world exposure affects their playing behavior and interpersonal interactions. Therefore, consider your personality and inspiration when choosing a username for your Valorant persona. The following are some tips to help you pick a suitable username:

1. Relate to Your Audience

When you pick a name, ensure your audience can relate to it. When your audience looks at your profile, they should be able to understand what your name means at first glance. For example, if you are making a Valorant account for a kid, you can name it something like “Kitty” because it reminds them of their favorite kitten.

2. Make It Simple

While it is crucial to choose a unique name, you should not complicate it too much. A short name is better than a long, complex one. Additionally, simple ones are easier to remember, too!

3. Use Characters in the Game

In some cases, it is a good idea to base your username on characters in the game. While using real-world icons helps identify your hobbies and preferences, they can cause confusion among your followers and fans. Therefore, try modifying these names so they come out unique and represent your persona. For example, Bat Man_Guy instead of Batman.

4. Avoid Digits in Your Username

Some people go overboard when creating usernames by inserting digits. While there are no rules against using numbers, you should avoid them in your unique identifier, as they can make it difficult for others to identify your account.

5. Use Emotional Words

When choosing a username, it is best to think about how you feel if someone referred to you by that name. Certain words ignite specific emotions. For example, “Jack the Ripper” is a terrifying name. On the other hand, a name like “Happy Girl” conveys joy and happiness.

Wrapping It Up

When I ventured into Riot Games, I first used the name “Demolition Dude” before changing names a few more times as I got better. Therefore, do not worry if you do not get the name right when you start playing. Since Riot Games allows you to change your Valorant username once a month, you can experiment with different names until you find one appealing to you and your audience. Let the options listed above inspire you in your quest for a unique name. Remember, a powerful and inspirational username goes a long way in enhancing your gaming experience.
