I feel like if you told them you don't have an account or have a level 1 account, they would be far less likely to hire you.

So you have a primary account that you play on, then apply to riot, and then create a new account that Riot doesn't know about where you call your jungler cancerous garbage. Easy peasy.

Unless you're playing your alternate account via Tor or a VPN or something, Riot can presumably notice that both accounts are used from the same IP and put the pieces together. And that would be a long way to go to hide your behavior.

Why? Anecdotally I know several people who got hired at Facebook without having an active Facebook account.

Riot does seem to require playing LoL[1]. Not sure how is Facebook relevant here.

"While our engineers come in all shapes and sizes and work with many technologies, we expect every engineer at Riot to be:

Player-focused: you’re a gamer whose passion for games (especially League of Legends)"

Thanks for the citation! Wish I hadn't been downvoted for asking an honest question, but this clears things up.

I have not downvoted you but I imagine many people here do not like non sequitur arguments.

It's not a non sequitur at all. Just pointing out that it's not unreasonable to imagine someone working somewhere without being a user of that company's product.
