I get that the oldest 6300 champion get their price reduced when a new champion is released, but after the release, are they supposed to be reduced immediately or after the first week the new one come out?

After looking around, it seems only after when the new champion gets reduced to 6300 IP will one of the champions get dropped to a lower price point.

I found this out by referencing this page and looking up some things: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202083304-Permanent-Champion-Price-Reduction

So RekSai is the 123rd champion release (not updated yet), which means that Sejuani would get reduced to 4800 IP. I just checked in the store (while RekSai costs 7800 IP) and found that Sejuani still costs 6300 IP.

So the price reduction applies only when the new champion is dropped to the 6300 IP price.

Once the new champ drops from 7800 to 6300, then a champ will drop from 6300 to 4800. Every third new champ also causes a 4800 or lower to drop as well.

Aww I was hoping to get Sejuani just in time for the new skin. Guess I'll have to wait a day or two before buying her.

They don't get the price reduction right away, it does take them maybe a day or two before they adjust them. Sejuani being the next to drop in price now that RekSai is out, should happen fairly soon. They also have to update the price reduction list with the date and champion released too so it does take them a little time
