New champion and Rework release cadences

So I figure this could be a good place to have a discussion about the rate at which Riot is releasing champions and champion reworks.

To lead this off I started playing the game back when new champions were being released around once every 2 weeks (the first release I was around for was Vayne). At lower levels I thought that this was a really awesome thing since it seemed like something new was always being added with each new champion. However after hitting level 30 and starting to play ranked I started realizing just how these new champions affected things like lane comps, counterplay, etc. So when things slowed down in 2013 I was happy with it because it gave me more time to adjust to these changes but as 2014 approached I realized just how few champions were released.

So here we are almost 2 months since Yasuo was released and Vel'koz still fairly far out as the various changes also coming in patch 4.3 are still being tested. Thinking back on it I believe that I was happier when seeing the faster releases because it almost always gave me something to look forward to.

So after all that how do you feel about the slower releases of new content, and do you think that the cadence should increase or decrease in 2014?
