There was a quote I stumbled on while flipping through tvtropes, it was the quote for "Allegedly Free Game"
"The joy of online strategy gaming, and online gaming in general, is defeating an opponent who was just as likely to defeat you?so how much fun is a game if, no matter how good you are, you may get owned by some kid who blew his allowance on WMDs? If you don't stand a chance in a 'free' game without shelling out, then the game ain't really free."

A good F2P game shouldn't force free players to play in order to be on even footing. LoL is great in that, with the exception of cosmetics and speed/convenience, nothing is available to paying customers that isn't available to non-paying.
