Champion costs

As we enter S5, with more and more new champs coming into the game, I realized that it has become customary for ALL new champs to be 7800 ip on release, and 6300 later on. Ok. That's fine for now.

But I think, and I hope, that LoL will go on for many more years to come, and it probably will. Now tell me riot, there's bound to be a ton of new champs by then. If all of these champs are going to lie in the 6300 tier, then God help me because in that case you should remove the other cost tiers all together should you not? If the game continues introducing champs in the 6300 ip tier ONLY, then by 2030 (just an example) we will need to get 6300 ip for 80% of the champs we want, and i, having had problems and difficulties getting just rengar, believe that this will be a humongous pain in the butt.

All I ask is that you consider introducing some new champs in the 3150, 4800 ip tiers also. Im pretty sure there are others who feel the same way.

"Every time a new champion is released, the oldest 6300 IP/975 RP champion will be reduced to 4800 IP/880 RP.

Also, with every third champion release, an additional champion currently priced at 4800 IP or lower will be reduced to the next lowest tier, based on age and ease of play."

Older champions decrease in price with each new champion released. For instance, Ziggs just became a 4800 champion after Bard was released.

So in other words, there are a fixed amount of 6300ip champions.

i just think they should lower the ip of champions. its very hard to grow your champ pool without rp.

Each time they release a new champ though and older on is pushed down in price, and every third release they do two.
