The work that goes into reworking a champion is different from the work that goes into making a new one.

With Jhin and reworked Shen coming out next patch this very blaringly seems like a post made in ignorance.

Do you really think that new champs are made mostly for the money? Champs can be bought with IP. In fact only champs and runes can be bought with IP. New skins can only be bought with RP but suprisingly we don't get a new skin every other week as to maximize profits.

Mostly because you can only buy a skin once so you'd have to make skins almost every week to really make it profitable in that sort of sense. It's all moot because Riot has a merch line with real products for sale so skins are just additional items to purchase and champions are almost soley for the health of the game (you have to keep adding content to free to play games otherwise they stale very quickily).
