Talk:Champion Rotation Schedule Test/@comment-3142405-20101029085244/@comment-3067750-20101101143011

New champions are never free the first week to benefit those who purchased the champion. They are generally free on Week 2 since their release to allow for more open use by the public and then it gets balanced based off of that week.

Any time a new champion comes out, there will always be queue dodgers raging because they didnt get to the shiny new champion first. Another reason is that people who play the new champion on day 1 undoubtedly lack any knowledge of the champion they're playing and unless its an easy-mode champion, they end up costing their team the game.

For those reasons, and the fact that I'd rather practice with the new champion prior to doing actual games, I wait until about the 4th-6th day after its release.
