I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Had a prelim interview asking me the basics to understand my skillset. The person who interviewed me responded about a week later telling me they are looking for members with a better bundle than my skillset.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Riot Games
Very detailed and focused on craft, skills and quite a lot of case based questions aimed at understanding how my previous experience lines up with Riots values and expected behaviors.

Question 1
Apart from my craft skills, about my value alignment
The first round was an intense behavioral with the Senior Engineering Manager. Next round was a take home assessment, and then a follow up interview to discuss the assessment. The follow up only did about 15 minutes about the assessment, and then it was 40 minutes of technical theory questions.
Interviewer had a Steven Hawking vibe. Lisp, didn't give me much eye contact, asked heavy behavioral questions but didn't give much feedback, just wrote down notes and next question, like a machine. No enthusiasm, guy's been there for over 20 years he's nothing like other Riot employees who's passionate. Barely even played League. Surprising experience I thought riot was vibrant and full of energy.
