@shredded sky, forget it, cheaper champ won't be released anymore, for good

as riot explained all new champions will start at 7800ip and after 1 week they will be reduced to 6300, when that happens an older champion will be reduced from 6300 to 4800, when lucien will be reduced to 6300, riven will also be reduced to 4800

when a new champion following lucien will be released and then reduced to the normal 6300 then the next champion after riven in release order will be reduced to 4800

as simple as that
