Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not on release. Unless the champ really, REALLY sucks (hi, launch Yorick!) the first few weeks is always going to artificially inflate how good a champ looks since nobody will quite know how to respond to it yet.

You get the RP players who buy on the first week, and everyone else two weeks later. After that, everyone should have a better idea of how to deal with certain champs: either how to build them or build against them.
