#2015: This game is dying. (Continues to play League.)
#2016: This game is still dying. (Still continues to play League.)
#2017: Trust me guys, this game is still dying. (Still plays League no matter what for some reason.)
#2018: Can you just die already....? (Yet, goes back to the login page & starts queueing up.)
The game is actually declining, and it's doing so as drastically as it climbed.
Another user who claimed that League was not dying estimated a figure of 9.6 million daily users. In 2014-2015, there were 27 million daily users. Search interest for LoL (which includes videos and news articles) has dropped to 36% of what it was at its height in those years. That's a pretty solid correlation. The popularity of League is now roughly equivalent to the popularity of League during the Season 1 World Championship at Dreamhack.

Edit: you'll have to put in "League of Legends - Game" in the search. The boards appear to be breaking the link slightly.
The developers have made too many bad decisions. They are cutting off a massive percent of the general population with their bad decisions. I have a thread with many of those bad decisions.
Yes the game is being driven into the ground, and people like you and me still play anyway because we like the game but hate many of there horribly stupid game design decisions. People should be FIRED until it is fixed and dealt with or Riot will continue to plummet and fail to attract people who may like the game.
