Why is every new champion 6300Ip?

OTP Leona Carry··1 votes·465 views

I always wondered will riot make any champs that are cheaper then the 6300ip? Like will there be more 450 ones or 4800 ones etc. I dont like how i have to grind ip for EVERY new champ. And will we get new simple champions (Like blitz) for less then 6300?

PS: Feel free to move my thread to appropriate boards

Because new champions take a lot of time to make, even more basic champions. Releasing them at 450, 3150 or even 4800 IP results in more people buying these champions with IP, meaning less money for Riot. Once an X amount of champions get released, older champions get a reduced IP price though.

Pretty sure it's once a new champion is released, another champion is lowered in IP price, sometimes 2, depending.

This. They'll get dropped in cost the older they get.

If you're only missing the new champion then it's not 6,300 IP. Three champion shards are 5,100 IP.

Well, you can also buy all the champions that are less than 6,300 and then buy 3 champ shards instead to unlock champions if you don't mind unlocking them in a random order. You'll be saving 1,200 IP per champion.

Um...

Because you aren't putting money in Rito's pocket if you use Influence Points?
