They did do something right, certainly. But WoW owned, at one point, 80% of the MMO market throughout Cataclysm. Were they doing something right? Don't make the logical mistake that because something is popular, that it is doing it best. Lol. WoW suffered for their transgressions, and the game is beginning to bleed because of it as people are starting to break out of the perpetuation cycle.
You see, stupid people fail to realize that in most multiplayer games, what is more important than the game itself are the people involved. People will choose WoW over a superior game because WoW is the game that has their friends. So even if Blizzard starts doing shit that is fucked up with their game, WoW, they still have a population, because populations perpetuate themselves until the game devolves to the point where even social connections don't keep people in the game. Larger games have a greater pull.
League is still young, and although Riot started out with the standard Indie "good for the players" attitude, they have, almost yearly, been continuing to devolve. Give them time, and it will bleed just like WoW is. But if you are a person that looks at WoW and says WoW is the superior, epitome of all MMORPGs as shown by its population being vaster than any other currently... Then I think you're truly brain damaged.
Learn you some social science.
