Will Riot eventually submit to the community, or will their pride be the end of League?

EDIT: I've thought about it quite a bit, and I feel I may have been a bit too hard on Riot. "Pride" is probably not the best word to use in retrospect.

Let's end the discussion just by saying that Riot needs to be more open with it's community. They need to give the people more of an idea of what they're doing, and what it takes to do it. It could be far more difficult and stressful than we give them credit for.

Or not. Again, we don't know.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Riot would rather let League burn and die than give the players what they want. This is exactly what happened with Blizzard and StarCraft II. They ignored the community, and the game died. There's a reason why Pride is considered the most dangerous of the 7 Deadly Sins.

At least from and outsider's perspective, it seems that Riot is only accepting statistics that reinforce their confirmation biases.

I'd like to clarify that I'm not claiming that League will die anytime soon. The game could continue to shamble forward for several more years before Tencent decides it's not worth the trouble anymore.

There are countless board post where people with a stronger understanding of the game than I explain what's wrong with it far better than I ever could, so I'll just leave this with a question:

Will Riot submit, or go down with the ship?

I now foresee a stream of down-votes from Dynamic Queue defenders and people who are just sick of listening to people talk about this.

EDIT: Another clarification. I'm not saying the game will be shut down completely, but that the competitive scene will shrivel up and "die". Of course casuals will stick around for many years to come regardless. It's the same with StarCraft II. People still play it, but it has no where near as many players as it once did.
