Whenever i play a moba the thought always come to me will this game become super huge. Like if you compare this game to other mobas it's pretty big, but i mean like getting into a game then having the option to have millions of items to buy to create thousands or billions of builds. Like right now riot is still creating new amazing characters new items but will they make thousands of characters that are unique? Will riot one day stop league of legend and work on a new game?

I suspect League of Legends will be around for a long time, but I don't think it will get as massive as you suggest. At the current rate of 4-6 champions a year it could run for nearly 20 more years and only double the current roster size. As for items, there's more benefit to having a smaller number of well-designed items than a glut of items that all function similarly. For example: we currently have Thornmail, Frozen Heart, Zhonya's Hourglass, Randuin's Omen, Sunfire Cape, Deadman's Plate, Zz'rot Portal, Ohmwrecker, and Iceborn Gauntlet as major armor items. Would we really benefit hugely from additional ones? I'm not convinced the answer is yes, as already builds tend to favor the few of these at the top of the meta power curve.

In short, new items are great...when there's a GOOD GAMEPLAY REASON behind making a new item. Zz'rot Portal is a great example. But there's a limit to that, and too many items makes the game inaccessible, so I imagine we'll see itemization numbers roughly equal to what we currently have on live, give or take a few additions.
