It is not official Riot site of LoL so users are not advised to visit the said website for their own protection purposes. Despite the cautions from the moderators of the game, the said scam has still duped several LoL players.

According to a report by Inquisitr, there are some key points to be able to determine whether or not a site featuring a riot event is officially managed by "League of Legends." If the website that you are clicking looks like Riot but it is not officially managed by Riot, then the website is an object of scamming of phishing.
