I'm saving for a name change and I've just been playing random useless games left and right just to get IP. I get like 30-60 IP per match. Is this normal? I currently have 13580 IP and need just 320. At this rate, I would need to play up to 8 games to get this amount. This doesn't seem right to me.
If I wanted to buy a 6300 champ, I would have to play 210 games.
Yeah, IP gain depends largely on game mode, game time, and game outcome. But there's always the 150 bonus for first win of the day. So if you just win one game today and one tomorrow, you'll have enough for that name change, even without playing anything else in between.
30 IP seems low, like you're playing alternate game modes to summoners rift, or you're playing summoners rift and getting a defeat every match.
Your matches must be ending fast then, it depends on the length of the match
Playing Bot games/ARAM/RGM will award you with a much lower IP reward.
