Do I think it will happen though? Probably not, there's been next to no news of this supposed Riot MMO and there's not even a guarantee it will ship.
It definitely will. It's been gradually teased by one of their writers. MMORPGs take a long time to get ready to launch however. Riot's MMO will probably not have a video teaser until 2024.

It could well bring competition against XIV. But in 2~3 years an unexpected new big MMO could come out of nowhere, as well. Truthfully no one except the people being asked to "quit" will see XIV's fall from the throne happening until it's too late. Most people don't notice those things right away.
