Following growing frusttion within the League of Legends community regarding the prices of champions in the in-client shop, Riot has released details surrounding a complete overhaul of the way champions will be priced moving forward.
In the near future, almost every champion in the game will have their blue essence and RP prices reduced, with only five champions set to stay at the now-popular 6,300 BE price point. Currently, all champions are priced based on their relative release date. Moving forward, though, League champions will have their RP and BE prices set relative to their friendliness toward new players.
