Change Win of The Day IP Bonus (Or the problem with Bots)

This is a thought. I do expect people to be against this.

Recently, I bought Yasuo. I thought that I should practice him in bots, just so I am not a total derp in a normal game and start feeding. I attempted to pick yasuo 3 times and got out picked, because i wanted to be nice and let others know i wanted mid. I had to play a different lane, which was okay, because i wanted to see how well adc Kog with cull worked. The time i actually got Yasuo, a guy flamed because he wanted yasuo so he could get his win of the day.

I thought Why is it so difficult to get one champ for practice?

Here is the problem A lot of people that play bots only play for the quick win of the day bonus, and those people play curb-stompers, such as yasuo, and win the game early. (2 of the games we even played with sub-level 20 players)

This is a problem. People that want to practice can't simply because others want a quick game.

I suggest that the Win of the Day IP Bonus be increased to 200 IP, but in return, cannot be gained by a Bot game. It can only be won by a PvP game mode. (Dominion, ARAM, or Rift.)

Thoughts, Opinions?

You can make a custom game with an appropriate number of bots to practice versus if you want to just practice the mechanics of the champion without the whole dynamics of people.

If you actually want the team dynamics, you can either bring in friends to the custom game, or (probably better) play actual normals. The manner in which people play versus bots is rarely representitive of how they play in the 'real world' of normals/ranked, since bots are unrealistic. Facing real people is scary, but practice landing stuff on a bot isn't much help in landing things on actual humans who are somewhat more reactive (and generally have different movement patterns in the first place).

Leave it as is. I like bot games for both learning new stuff and getting first win out of the way
