IP Incentives for support positions

Nokadii··1 votes·549 views

Has anybody addressed the idea of providing IP incentives for the less popular positions?

Maybe a second win of the day bonus? One for the first win, and another for the first support win? Or possibly +50% Ip while playing support?

Even though this idea is always shot down by those that like to play support and don't need an incentive (such as myself), they are already thinking of giving small incentives for choosing high priority and Fill positions for the Team Builder Draft later on.

why would you need an incentive to play support.

I'm not sure which braket you are in, but support is the hardest position to fill from my experience. Team builder can wait up to 15-20 minutes for a support during low traffic times, and drafts usually end with the bottom person shoe horned in as support. I'm all for the occasional mix up for people who don't normally play a role, but when every game has an un-experienced member shoved into a role it can be rather irritating.

I don't really need any incentive to go Support, nor I see why there should be any special benefits for doing so.

If you already play support, than of course you don't need any incentives to do so. However, it is the least represented role in the rank and file player base. Incentives to playing support might increase the amount of players willing to give it a try more often. If more people put some time into the role, then I would hope the population disparity would decrease.
