Riot upped the price to 7800 on the 1st week so people dont complain about noob first timer new champions in every single one of their games, and then feeding. Its to discourage people from insta-buying, and instead wait to see if the champion is actually GOOD for a week before deciding to buy or not.

actually they want to make more money.

they increase the IP cost for the first week and people eager to play the new champion will be more likely to keep the IP for other cheaper stuff and unlock the new shiny champion with RP.

i usually unlock the 6300/975 champions that i want with RP when they are on sale so it won't affect me and i'm not complaining. actually i'm happy that they lowered the IP price of some champions i want.
