How to fix the "Failed to Fetch Your Summoner Details" error

Having such a pesky problem can ruin anybody's day, that's why we're here to help you fix it.

Although there isn't an official way to do it, there are several ways to tackle the issue.

Here is what we've found to work best.

Restart Your Router

First and foremost, due to this being an internet issue, go for the easiest and most accessible solution by restarting your router.

When restarting your router, however, make sure you don't log out of League of Legends. This makes certain that the League of Legends launcher registers the fix.

Try another Riot/League of Legends Account

Although this may not be doable by everybody as it requires you to have more than one Riot/League of Legends account, go ahead and log out of the account you're having issues with and try another.

Once that's done, switch back to the original account, and this should help clear things up.

Use the Riot Repair Tool

As always with mostly any League of Legends issue, it doesn't hurt to boot up the good ol' Riot Repair Tool, also known as the Hextech Repair Tool.

Use a Hotspot

Since this error pertains to players' internet connections, why not try a hotspot?

As one of the few remaining options, it doesn't hurt to go into your phone and prop up a hotspot to see if the issue still remains if you have the service.

Uninstall and re-install League of Legends

When all else fails, why not try one of the oldest video game fixes in the books? If you have the time and the patience, go ahead and uninstall and reinstall League of Legends entirely. Obviously this should be a last resort option, though it is likely to do the trick if other methods fall short.

Sometimes that hard reset is exactly what your client needs.

Contact Riot Support

When you've tried all of the options above and are truly out of alternatives, it doesn't hurt to contact Riot Support directly.
