The number of free champions they rotate is fine. The problem is that a rotation should mean that we get a set of champions that are different the week before and after, not a prema-free rotation for some champions like *cough* Ashe and Veigar *cough*. Newer champions should not be free on the week of release because Riot would find that unprofitable. Think about it. If everyone tried out the champion and most didn't like it, we Summoners wouldn't buy the bundle. Also consider that they now spend 2 weeks now to make a champion instead of a week. So that means more work to keep the game balance and fun for all of us so Riot deserves a little respect. Finally, the game is free, how else are they going to make a living if we diss the work?

It should be like this.

2 450IP champs
2 1350IP champs
2 3150IP champs
2 4800IP champs
2 6300IP champs

I was seeing if they did that this past week, but they had 3 450IP champs.

i think you need to open up more heros due to the fact that we have more heros in the leag and also the more expensive heros opend more often because most of the cheaper heros are bought right away thuse no need for them to be free that often.

I personally would love to see the free week champions to link to the current meta, having at least one for each position and maybe a guildeline on where to play them. Though this may alter the screen on the champion selection in normal games I feel that if you were to categorise champions to lanes or the jungle newer summoners (or summoners that don't know the champion) can play these champions knowing a little more than whether they are ranged or melee.

honestly, i think a good idea would be to take a basic team of 5's (support, carry, etc.) and put 2 or 3 each of those in the rotation as to make balnced and complimenting teams
