Why don't a 4800/3150/1350 IP champion get reduced in cost when a new champ is released?

With Tahm Kench coming out, Fiora is going to be reduced in cost from 6300 to 4800.

I was thinking about it though, and I found myself wondering why don't the other brackets get a character reduced in price as well.

Currently the amount of champions in each cost bracket is as follows:

450 IP: 12 1350 IP: 21 3150 IP: 25 4800 IP: 33 6300 IP: 32

It looks to me like this is a weighted a little bit too heavy towards the top. The 2 highest price brackets contain more champs than the bottom 3 combined.

I think it's time to start making the price field a bit more even. I'd especially like to see the 4800 range reduced in number. With the amount of time it takes to farm IP, it seems a little bit unfair that a majority of champs are such a high cost.

So, when a new champ comes out we should have a 6300 -> 4800, a 4800 -> 3150, a 3150 -> 1305, and a 1350 -> 450.

Please Riot. I've been playing this game for years and there are still so many champions I have yet to buy. Too many 6300s! :P

4800's or lower are reduced, but at greater intervals than every release (every third, and always alongside a 6300 as well).

Ah I see. Well I still think it's unfairly weighted. Too many champions are high priced, even though they've been out for years.

It would be nice if they just reduced one of each tier every time a new champ comes out or at least 3150 and higher ones. It would still leave the total IP to buy all champs going up slightly each new champ. Its kinda w/e though. There really aren't many reasons to have all the champs and they want you to buy them with RP. Eventually you are going to get them all anyway at which point most people seem to just switch to complaining about having to much IP with nothing to spend it on.

Amumu dropped to being a 450 IP champ when Kalista was released, if you wanna talk about price drops, he went from a 4800 to a 450.
