This encourages the purchase of champions with Riot Points (which generates revenue for Riot Games and allows for the game to continue being updated and improved at all times) and makes it so that fewer people are spam purchasing and playing the champion in the first few days of the champion coming out. Do we all remember Diana and Vi? It was impossible to play a game without one of those two champions (statistically that's a 1/100 chance normally, meaning new champions are played 100x more than normal ones, just saying) the week that they came out, and nobody knew quite well how to play them or what exactly they were capable of *cough* Vi *cough*. This is an intelligent move by Riot Games, and I applaud their fixation of one of our grievances as a community. Good job Riot, you're not fucking Jagex.
