I agree with your post, but in the end, there's nothing that can be done about it. If Riot agrees with your prediction of the future and don't want their game to be "ruined" then they would do as much as possible to minimalise the amount of players. This would mean they would have to:

1. Remove all Refer a Friend rewards

2. Stop making videos on Youtube

3. Stop all advertising

4. Completely stop pro tourneys

5. Ask for all LoL fan sites to be taken down

6. Not release anything to the public apart from in the game/client itself

As I'm sure you know, this isn't possible. Also, you have to think what Riot is. A COMPANY. A BUSINESS. tbh, as much as they care about balancing and appealing to their players, in the end, they just want to make monay. More players is a good thing for them.

I love how lol is seriously the most played agme in the world atm, yet so many people don't know about it/have never tried it/hate it etc. I guess we all just have to hope it stays that way and not become like cod. It's even worse since it's completely free to play.

But then again, people often argue the lol community is worse than the cod one anyway... :L
