Fictional practice, not an employer interview question.
Imagine a proposed change improves outcomes for newer players but frustrates experienced players in a particular mode. Define the objective and inspect differences in skill, mode and play pattern. This is an invented design exercise, not a recommendation for an actual game.
Work through the case
Build or write this
Write a small design or analysis brief with competing hypotheses, segmented measures and a test plan. Designers can justify the tradeoff; analysts can examine selection effects; engineers can define instrumentation; community candidates can prepare a transparent feedback summary.
Stress-test the decision
The result should acknowledge who loses from the change and why that may or may not be acceptable. Explain what would cause you to revise the hypothesis rather than dismissing inconvenient player evidence.
Turn the exercise into application evidence
Use only your own work, public material or an authorized sandbox. Write the problem, your decision, the test and the limitation in a short case study. A diagram or a focused analysis is acceptable when code is not relevant to the role. Do not claim the exercise reproduces the employer's systems or guarantees an interview.
Prepare your application
For Riot Games, show both the craft of your discipline and the player problem it serves. Separate enthusiasm for games from evidence in engineering, art, design, production or operations. Explain how you use feedback without treating the loudest reaction as representative of every player.
