A Cloudflare 520 error specifically points to a problem with the connection between Cloudflare and the origin server (Riot Games' server). A 500 error (Internal Server Error) indicates a problem on the origin server itself – a server-side error that prevents it from fulfilling the request. While both are server-related, 520 is about connection issues, and 500 is about internal server malfunctions.
