Riot telah mengumumkan kemitraan yang direncanakan dengan kota berkembang [[Neom]] di [[Arab Saudi]] pada Juli 2020, dengan kota tersebut untuk mensponsori seri League of Legends European Championship yang akan datang. Tak lama setelah pengumuman tersebut, penggemar game, serta karyawan Riot, mengkritik perusahaan melalui media sosial dan saluran streaming mereka atas kemitraan tersebut, mengutip catatan Arab Saudi tentang hak asasi manusia dan upaya kekerasan untuk mengusir suku Howeitat dari daerah tersebut selama pembangunan kota. Riot membatalkan kemitraan dalam beberapa hari sebagai tanggapan, meminta maaf dan mengatakan bahwa kemitraan itu telah terburu-buru.<ref>Carpenter,{{cite Nicoleweb (July| 29,url 2020).= [https://www.polygon.com/2020/7/29/21347587/riot-games-saudi-arabia-neom-partnership-league-european-championship-lec "| title = Riot Games ends Saudi Arabia's Neom partnership following controversy"].
