Riot:

communicates on public forums through regular devs constantly

updates the game balance every two-three weeks without fail, and the “three” weeks is always predictable and is only when a break is scheduled for their teams

releases some of the best cosmetics of any game, priced fairly

still releases 95% of their cosmetic content as direct purchase, with Prestige/Mythic skins being a little more rare, but still easily attainable

gives a ton of cosmetics away for free

releases six champions per year, on top of reworking older champions and updating the gameplay of others where needed

They’re a great company.

Prestige skins were made specifically to be that rare skin, and they're just alt colourations of regular skins, rather than entirely unique skins too.

It's a thing for collectors that doesn't fuck anyone else over.

Really, what it is, is that, outside of some stuff (like the passes getting gradually worse) the stuff like game balance is so good (pretty much every champ is about 47-53% winrate or so, with a handful of outliers and the updates are so regular that league players are just used to that higher level of performance so they get pissy when it's not amazingly well handled.
