Dont make new heroes free the first week.. i say this simply because of "nidalee shutdown week" if anyone can remember when nidalee was new. every person chose to do a solo practice game to check her out which resulted in:
no server slots for real games for the first 2 days on the european server atleast...

besides the dread of that happening again... people wanting the new heroes free thier first week are properbly the same guys who havent payed a single dime to play the game nor bought any riot points/combat points thus not contributing to paying the saleries of the hard working people at riot and goa... and imho if you havent payed for any content you dont have any reason to whine about anything...

there is my two cents

Please provide more hard to play champions, I'd like to test them out if it's actually worth it. I don't want to buy Anivia and then see that's she's too hard for me and that I'm going to play someone else anyways, 6300 IP lost...

So... Anivia next week rotation? It's been 5 weeks already

We listen to player feedback on Champions to make free, and we introduce new Champions on a regular basis. Those two factors make it hard to have a set rotation that repeats every 8 weeks or so (which is I assume what you're implying about a pattern).

- RiotChris
There is an easy solution to this problem.
A. Add all Types of characters to their MAIN prospective lists (e.g. Tank Tag, Ranged DPS, Assassin)
B. Use either a psuedorandom generator for each list.
C. Add the new champions to this list in their respective area.
D. To prevent repeats make a command that states something to the effect of:
week x != x-1;

I would like to see blitzcrank as a free champ again. I would like to see how he measures up to all these new champions and as much as I would like to buy him and try it out myself, he is a bit expensive. I was actually saving up for him but then mordekaiser came along and stole my heart. anywho, with all the new changes and champions i would like to see some older champs in the mix to ensure that they are still up to par, blitzcranck is just a personal request and i havent seen him in the rotation since like week 2 or 3

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
This is a very good idea that also considers both sides, the players and the business.

if you bought the game you were givin several free champions but thats just an option they gave you. as well you can spend RP / IP to keep them forever.

I think that you guys should let new champions be free for like 3-5 games for just a taste...
