So I'm looking for some feedback on this
rather extensive set of suggestions on adjusting the IP system
and adding what I believe will improve the lot of the game. You can feel free to skip to the tl;dr at the bottom if you want - it's long.

The IP pricing for champions has always kinda boggled me, mostly on the older spectrum of things. I think that there are conflicting criteria, and Riot should just stick to one of the options.
I mean, Lee Sin and Renekton have the same price point? Lee is among the most mechanically demaning champions, renekton has some pretty straightforward tools to dive into the fray and leave afterwards. They are both 2011 champions, so that isn't the point either.
I would prefer if they simply went with a gap model. 450 IP champions to introduce you to the game, and no champion could get here by IP reductions. 6300 on release after the first week, with a grace period of, say, a year. After that year, the champion would be reduced, not by one tier, but to it's rightful difficulty-to-IP price. So, we'd get 450 - test champions; 6300 - new champions; 1350, 3150, 4800 - tiers of mechanical difficulty.
Using both criteria simultaneously is just confusing to me. Right now, asking "Why is Miss Fortune 3150 IP right now?" seems like a question without a clear answer. I doubt it's Riot saying she's mechanically intensive for an AD Carry (she's absolutelly not; even Bullet Time aiming is regularly NOT Miss Fortune's job, without a layer of CC, Bullet Time will likely do less damage than straight auto attacks and will expose MF herself. Janna and TF have 9/10 difficulty according to Riot, yet are 1350IP - and it is not about date either, Karthus has 4/10 and is 3150IP, and all of them are from 2009. Poppy has 7 difficulty and was lowered to 450IP, and she is from 2010. I could keep pulling examples, but I think that should be enough...

Honestly I don't find champions AS problematic. I added a little tidbit explaining why I went after runes but not champions (or at least hinted at it). While we may have to come to that bridge sooner or later, Riot is actually doing something when it comes to champion pricing to at least dampen the ever-growing IP requirements to own all the champions.

It's the year 20XX and chanting "TSM" has replaced chanting "USA" in all facets of our culture.

So I was really happy that EG won with Soraka.
But now I need to find a new support when she gets nerfed into the ground.
