Game Dev. Analysis

Riot games is based in Santa Monica, California with offices in St. Louis, Texas and abroad. They are the company behind the wildly popular MOBA League of Legends and currently employ over 1000+ employees worldwide. Riot has there own in-house audio team consisting of around 20 'audio mixer's', designers and composers.


From an audio standpoint, league is incredibly diverse. Considering there are over 115 different characters in the game, each with 10-15 lines of dialogue each, including taunts, jokes, and death groans, not to mention each character has 4 unique abilities which all require there own sound effects; creating the audio for just one LoL character is a huge undertaking.

Personally I've played League for about 2 years, and one day I hope to work at Riot's Santa Monica office as a modeler or texture artist.
