There is a chance they might follow that monetization type, but Riot's history suggests they believe going full free to play is key to their success. The big question is how aggressive the MTX will be this time, because in terms of cost and return a MMORPG is a very different beast to everything else they have done so far. If they manage to keep their arguably unintrusive model, even thought I wouldn't touch any LoL related product with a ten-foot pole they'd be well deserved of commendations.
