There is a difference between the front page's custom champion tab and the popular champions tab.

The front page tab is any submissions primary way of receiving views by random people; while not everyone seeks out the wikia for custom champions, those who have underlying interests will browse the front page and go, "oh, there are custom champions, made by people. Let me see them."

The popular champions tab though requires being known before by users who had visited the champion and contain an interest for that champion's development. While visible when viewing other custom champions, I believe blogs will be dropped after a given time, no matter how popular it is.

Knocking a custom champion off the front page too soon can be somewhat of an arrow to the knee for that custom champions. Of course, any user can ask around friends and other viable members, but the front page is a powerful tool that requires only the posting of the champion. Search for it later? Either you need previous knowledge of the champion's name or title, but even then, shuffling through a list of hundreds of custom champions for a random/new custom champion is a toil not worth the march. Reposting a champion is not a good practice (wiki policy wise) either,  even if your champion was off the block in one day (I've had that happen one too many times on various wiki blogs).
