Well, people who say that Riot getting greedy may be right, even for a bit. I know a lot of players, who usually buy new champions at the first day after release, so it's not difficult to calculate that the purchase for the RP will be more profitable at the first week.

If we consider that 6300 IP = 975 RP as default for the most of LoL players nowadays, we can easy assume that 7800 IP is more expensive for new champion than 975 RP. IP = your time, but time is money also. In fact, if you are not soooo greeeeeeeeeeeedy rat, or eneeeermous craaaaaaazy neeeeeeeerd, you can easily decide to buy new champion for 975 RP or even a bundle for 1350 RP, not the 7800 IP.

So, Riot can have a little (for stupid whiners I can repeat - little) pressure over players that purchase new champions => as I said before, people who say that Riot getting greedy may be right, even for a bit.

IMHO.
