Summoner naming issue

So recently this came out.
I’m wondering if one of my account names will be randomly changed. My names are “Cryptic_Cobra” and “Confused_Cobra”.
I made them similar on purpose, so people would be able to identify me as cobra regardless of the account. This is useful for me on things like line. Plus _Cobra is something I try to put on the end off all the accounts I own in all games, and would hate to have that taken away from me.

No, your name won't be changed.
This if for barcode and symbol names
Sorry. I misunderstood.
I thought you changed your name to barcodes or symbols and wanted to get it back. Apologies.
Mike can you comment on why you changed your stance on this ? Idc that it’s being changed as I’m not part of it. But kabam (not sure if it was you) clearly came out saying said alliance naming convention was a good strategy.
Are there any specific problems affecting only gold 1 alliances and not top alliances? It just happens that top alliances will dig the deepest to find any competitive edge and take advantage of that. It could be that some gold alliance came up with the idea to change names to barcodes first but didn't fully execute with it and top alliances learned it from them. There is no discrimination between top alliance and gold 1 alliances, it's just the biggest exploits/cheats/dirty tactics usually find their way to the top.
It's unfair because kabam deemed it 'subversive to the spirit of the contest.' From this you can extrapolate that scouting possible defenders is an acceptable strategy, while attempting to further conceal them isn't.
As for your rant of unfair treatment, so what? Do you complain when you don't get the same treatment in Vegas as the high rollers?
Because no company can ever focus on more than one thing at a time. Ok, got it.
This is what they are talking about, which is obviously made with the purpose of confusing opponents.
Then, if you ask me, it's against the ToS because you are allowed to change name only on grounds of harassment or privacy concerns, which is obviously not this case.
Also, again IMHO, it's stupid and ugly to have a barcode, unrecognizable name in a game!
It's like having a copycat car in F1 or a shirt with same numbers in football.
So, a mod said something was ok, and later the company decided that it wasn't. Sounds like thAA just nerfed naming profiles.
And if Kabam decides to change something in the future, so what? It's their game, and they can change it whenever they want, for any or no reason.
And for the record, it's not a hamster turning that wheel.
Because it's their game and they change the rules if they deem it necessary.
It's against the rules now. Case closed.
Calling people "Sheep" just because they don't agree with you doesn't make your argument more valid. It's also not allowed by the forum rules.
I'm closing this thread down now, but thank you all for your feedback on this new Policy. We don't enact new policies very often, and when we do, it's because we think something is serious enough of an issue that we have to take action against it.
