Why is every new champ expensive?

Why should every champ cost 7k IP? Can you create a new champion which costs like 450 or 1350 IP?

It's new and people are willing to buy it at that price, why would they ever release a new champ at low IP, let alone RP?

The price is only 7800 for one week, then goes down to 6300, and a champ that is currently 6300 gets bumped down a level. It's fair

Wait, do they bump down a champion in price when they make a new one?

When Kayn is released, Kha'Zix and a 4800 IP or lower Champion will be reduced.

This is like complaining "Do you guys understand why the new consoles for gaming are so expensive? They're just going to drop in price anyway so why have them at such a high price at launch?"
