Riot ID lookup, sync timing and Arena data coverage

What happens during lookup, why a history can be incomplete and how to tell when your Arena record is up to date.

Lookup starts with a Riot ID and region

Enter the visible GameName#TAG Riot ID and choose the account region. The region is part of the lookup because Riot organises account and match data across regional services, and the same name can belong to different accounts on different platforms.

Arena Legacy does not ask for a Riot password. The lookup is limited to finding the public account identity and the completed Arena match data that can be requested for it through Riot's official developer API.

What gets stored

For each completed Arena game, Arena Legacy stores the information needed to rebuild your history: the match identifier, date, game version, the lobby's teams and placements, and each participant's champion, augments and final items. Your profile keeps the Riot ID, region and summoner icon.

Individual player pages are kept out of search engines. The public champion and augment statistics are aggregates across many games and never show account names. The Privacy Notice explains retention and how to ask for removal.

Sync is incremental

The first lookup imports your recent Arena games. Refresh latest matches later requests only newer games, and Import full history walks back through older ones. Matches that are already stored are skipped, so refreshing often is cheap and never creates duplicates.

Opening a profile also starts a short automatic refresh. It is limited so that repeated visits do not overload Riot's services; use the refresh button when you want to check for a game you have just finished.

Why a new game may take a moment

Riot publishes match data shortly after a game ends, not instantly. Arena Legacy also shares Riot's rate limits across every player using the site, so a busy period can add a short wait. If a game is missing, refresh again in a few minutes instead of assuming it was lost.

When Riot's service is temporarily unavailable, your stored history stays readable and the next successful refresh continues from where the previous one stopped.

Coverage is part of the record

Arena Legacy reports what it can verify from the source data. Very old games, missing participant details or content released in a new patch can leave a name, icon or match unavailable until the data catches up.

That limitation is deliberate: the tracker prefers an explicit gap over a guessed champion, augment or item. Use the match count and the last-update time on your profile to understand how complete your history is.

Keeping your record accurate over time

If you change your Riot ID, look up the new name once. Riot keeps the same underlying account identifier behind a renamed Riot ID, so your stored games stay attached to the account rather than to the old name.

If you play on several regions, each account builds its own history. Combine them mentally rather than expecting one profile to show everything, because matches are stored per account and region.

When something looks wrong, such as a game with the wrong placement or a champion shown under the wrong name, use the Contact page to report it with the Riot ID, region and approximate time of the match.

Takeaway
Choose the correct region, import your full history once, refresh after each session and treat missing source data as a visible limitation rather than an error.
