    Difficult Interview

    Interview

    Multiple interviews that spent more time on questions that should qualify as market research or gamer gatekeeping more than skill-set questions. They did say it was ok if you didn't play the game, but also asked what other games you played, why you enjoyed them, and why you play or don't play LoL.
    Interview

    Do you play League of Legends? Who's your main? What strategies do you use?
