Let's see some Karma (Who?) action. Leblanc was fun so I bet we can see some epic Karma play this week.

Hopefully we can get some Lee Sin action. Lee Sin has only been on free week, like what, three times? He hasn't been on free week at all in Season Two.

only a small portion of the community would have been able to give feed back on him...

cause i mean lets face it only reason udyr was even brought up was because he was free the week he was released and a ton of players played him and gave the feedback on him,


just my 2 cents on the subject =p
You aren't giving credit to how many people actually buy new champions when they release, which is to say a lot.

Lee sin being a high skill cap champion is not a very fun free week. Not enough good ones as is let alone if he were on a free week.

It seems to that often champions are free shortly before undergoing changes (buff/nerf). A perfect example would be this week where Shen, Orianna, and LeBlanc were all free, and will be undergoing major changes in the next patch. Although I could see this potentially helping riot gather large amounts of data on champions that are not used as often, I feel like it would benefit the players more to be able to use these champions after they are changed as opposed to before. In the case of major changes to a champion if one cannot play the champion it is difficult for them to understand how to counter said champion. Do you take things like recent buffs/nerfs or plans to buff/nerf into account when selecting free champions?
