@Riot How does one become part of the balance team?

Where does one apply? What type of requirements are needed? Do you have to live in whatever city Riot HQ is located in? Do you have to live in the country Riot HQ is in? Would you have to work your way up? If so how? How much power would you have when you got on the team?

I don't think I'm just gonna get to walk in and make all the greatest changes in a day and be like "Best job ever!" However if it comes down to actually getting a job. I spend all day playing games, especially LoL. As well, fairness/balance is the most important thing to me. So if possible I'd like to help make change for the better in one of the games I play.

Look for "Game Designer" jobs. I don't know if they hire specifically for the balance team.

What type of requirements are needed?

Generally you would need a very strong portfolio of awesome games that you have made or worked on to be considered for a game design job. Programming or scripting experience doesn't hurt.

Do you have to live in whatever city Riot HQ is located in? Do you have to live in the country Riot HQ is in?

So far all their development and design jobs are full time at their HQ in Santa Monica, CA (USA).

Would you have to work your way up? If so how? How much power would you have when you got on the team?

They have different levels of seniority; beyond that you'd need someone from Riot to comment.
