Riot, why dimishing Movespeed?

Me and a friend were figuring out a team comp centered around Hecarim. It involved Jayce top, Orianna mid, Sivir and Zilean Bot and ofc Hec Jungling.

Also we had items and stuff for him that add movespeed and all that jazz, and it ended up being over 400% bonus movespeed when fully used, his passive would get a crap ton of damage.

BUT SADLY the diminishing returns make the build so much less effective :C

Seriously all of that together is not even 1.5k ms. I don't get why there are diminishing returns, since 1.5k MS is only about 4-5 times more than other peoples base movespeed, and it only lasts for like 3 secs. So Riot, what is the reason?

Precisely. If there is 1 "all superior" stat, it would make sense to only buy that stat, right? Well that is boring as fuck, and can only detract from the game. Caps and diminishing returns prevent stacking something to be OP so they don't have to make flat nerfs across the board to it.

Yes, but the only way to stack a stat enough for it to be OP (IMO), would only be temporary, and in this example all that extra movespeed would only last for 3 secs, and it would be decreaseing during that duration as well

LoL IF YOU THINK RIGHT HAVING 1000 ARMOR WITH NO DAMAGE ISN'T OP i just do it for fun like i want to fuck with people YOU CAN'T KILL ME I WON'T DIE THIS GAME WILL LAST FOREVER HAHAHA! that's all but they buffed the turrets to kill the strongest tank if he tanked alot so it won't carry games that 1 op stat Don't be fun killer . and i have been wondering all those days why i could get 500 armor 250 magic resist 7000 hp as chogath at season 2 and never die even versus 5 + turret but now die from 2 , stupid your logic Every thing have a weakpoint if i go straight armor i don't have damage or magic resist I go normal tank i don't have burst it's just the way it should be THE GAME SHOULDN'T JUST NERF WHAT SOME PEOPLE HATE like if i played Malphite and had 800 armor and u was like a full build AD Assassin and couldn't even kill me while i had 500 hp DON'T JUST WHINE AND SAY OP RITO NERF PLS I CHOOSE to be tank for a reason not to die ,

i hate how riot forcing everyone to not go out of meta so hard or not go out of their meta forcing us to play balanced metas you know if i found out a meta that is broken and over powered in 1 STAT it doesn't have to be nerfed , you know it's only 1 stat strong and you can just go through another stat as a weak point stop whining OP OP OP and think
