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.
