Regarding #5:

People are lazy. When they have a strategy that works often enough, then they feel satisfied with "having cracked the LoL-code". They feel that they have reached an "end" in a game that has no end. So if Riot showcasts a new champ and people feel like their old strategies won't work that well, they feel like Riot pulled an Absolute Virtue on them (for those who don't quite understand: It took YEARS before Absolute Virtue was legally defeated. Every other successful way before got patched/fixed because it wasn't the "intended" way, like wall-glitching and such).

People fail to see that MOBAs have a similar relationship to meta-gameplay as fighting games: Without evolution, the ladder would be full of very specific champions.
