Champion cost reduction

Flemman··3 votes·1,663 views

Hello everybody

Since braum arrive on SR, I think the list of champion that will have cost reduction is come to an end. Is there a new list somewhere for the next 3-4 champ to be lowered (or, at least, is that kind of knowledge still in riot plan?)

edit: Did any news leak since gnar reveal?

Here ya go. They do cost reductions based on how old the champion is. Volibear is up next as far as 6300->4800 goes, then Ahri. As for other levels, not sure how they manage other price reductions, those are less predictable in my experience. But each new champion release bumps one 6300 IP champ down to 4800 IP for sure. They'll probably make an announcement at some point.

Nice link. So, correct me if I'm wrong. Twitch will be the next 3,150 champion to drop to 1,350? Ezreal will be the next to go from 4,800 to 3,150? And I see that Volibear is specifically noted for a price reduction from 6,300 to 4,800.

I actually don't know. I think price reductions beyond 6300 -> 4800 are sort of random. I don't think other price reductions are based on champion release, more trying to suit cost to player skill level (ie. champions that are more difficult to play are going to stay higher price, to prevent newer players from accidentally buying them). They do sometimes lower price of these champions, but I don't think it's based on champion release, necessarily (or if it is, it's not as predictable).

Interesting. I bought Xin Zhao for 1,350 upon Braum's release simply because of the price reduction. I'm the type to buy and play a broader set of champions, so I hope they do reduce more than just Voli.

oh, I didn't realize Xin got a price reduction. Maybe I should get him, lol.

Indeed! I remember another higher priced champion did too, but it was someone I don't play so I don't remember. Kennen or something.

Miss Fortune got one a while back, from 4800 -> 3150, I think there were a few others but since they seem so irregular I never really notice them.

I'd love to know this as well. Which 6,300 champ will be bumped down to 4,800? Which 4,800 down to 3,150? Which 3,150 to 1,350?

Yes, because apparently Riot is no longer releasing new champions.
