i Like our champion rotation. i can quite simply say this weekly rotation is one of the most enjoyable things about this game. I can play up to level thirty and buy the champions i want to play, and also try new ones that pop up every week around the same expected time. even though riot might not give themselves credit for it (or players), they do have the champions out on monday or tuesday, rarely sunday or wednesday, and they are as they say, simple champions, to the new champions you want to play. if anyone really has a complaint to their rotation not including certain champions, then you might want to count all of the champions, 81 and increasing, and a new champion about every two weeks. Riot is working hard for us and i hope they keep it up.

Now that i said that my other request is, could riot by chance include one or prehaps two more champions in the rotation? so it has 11 or 12 free champions to compensate the increasing supply of them? It's getting to the point where it would take two months for all champions to go through the rotation once, and with some champions being used more often that makes it close to three and a half months. Increasing the amount of free champions would atleast give more options for games. (might make choosing which champions to put up for each week alittle easier too, with public demand.)

Also on the topic of releasing new champions and making them free. people have stated that it would improve balancing but that's not intirely true, those people that bought them for the first week get to play them more often hince more info on them. if multiple people try to grab a free new champion no info can be clearly given since all will be going off of champion spotlight leaving no room for experienced play for balancing.

I'm thinking rotate schedule should start Thursday night/Friday morning. That way the new rotation starts on the high traffic time , at least I'd think, of Friday - Sunday. That way you get the champ feedback fresh for the next work week. Also, since patch/content drops can be Tuesday or Wednesday and you can use that for marketing purposes: " Purchase the new champ with IP or RP and access them before they're rotated in!". Theres my 2 cents :p

I agree with that. I also like to play a character before buying it so I know if I'm gonna like playing it or not so I don't just waste my money on a champion I'm not gonna play very much.

im so unlucky because when i buy a champion, next day he is free, at week 55 season one, all of the champions that where free where owned by me, and i think you put shen free A-lot, and zilean too, the problem now is when a new champion comes into the league, i always have hard luck, like last time i needed 1 RP to buy iriela, i had no other way, so i bought garen,and still i always have hard luck,like now, i just bought urgot, hes free next time, same as nidalee, just bought her, now shes free, i meant at this paragraph that please change the random characters of the week,i have one big question,how do you choose them, i did not understand it...


thanks,

Idea
 
How about you put free champs like this.
There are 10 free champions, 1 of them is newly made.

If you put 3, 6300 champs, 2 4800 champs, 2 3150, 1 1350 champ, 1 450 champ and the last 1 would be the new one, just like this weeks Skarner.

That would be cool huh?
