New Players trying to learn League

New players trying to play Bot games really have a hard time trying to learn their champ(s) When I started playing , I had this issue also and still do when trying to learn a champ in a Bot game. In my case , it comes from trying to teach and also trying to learn a champ equally. This issue is the fact that more experienced players are joining beginner and intermediate Bot games just to get a easy Win of the day reward.

Question, if a player has this much experience playing the champs they own or in the game in general , then why do they really need to do a bot game just for bonus IP and not a regular game ? Should they not really earn it ?

So for the issue at hand of not being able to teach / learn a very new , to the player , champ because of this occurrence. Is there a way to prevent Seasoned players from joining the two game types so that newer players can learn how to play? If a seasoned player is teaching , then can there be an option to select [ teach ] that will remove all extras that the newer player they are teaching would not have? Even if it is the complete removal of all masteries and runes. After all , they are Season players and should not need them.

Maybe this teach option would give a bonus ip or special ability to get a set type of icons to show how they have helped the community by teaching new players.

As for just the out right playing a game they are over skilled for, well , I hope there is a way Riot can come up with a way to prevent this abuse of the bonus First Win of the Day Ip and let the players that are trying to learn , learn to last hit and go against the bot champs without having to only play bot games until lvl 30 just to learn 1-3 champs well enough to feel comfortable/confident enough to try to verse real players. { I basically had to do this }

Post your thoughts on this possible ways that could help us all out. " New players / first through tenth time played new champ as a lvl 30 player."

TLDR Best way to solve the abuse of 1st win of the day by using bot games and ruining it for those of us that use it for what it should be used for. AKA New players / Teaching / 1st-10th time playing a new champ in a group match with others in order to learn team play.

Thank you for your time and my reading my thoughts, Thee Ace Heimerdinger

I mean, IP seems hard to gather lately, at least for me. Having the first win of the day really helps, but having to play multiple games to achieve it isn't always possible. The sure win vs bots which only takes like 25 minutes is a good insurance.

Newb players can always play vs intro / beginner bots, and even if experienced people join them, they can just play in custom games. After all, bot games are not good practice, because they follow certain commands, that are not applied to normal games. I think the real problem is that so many people make smurf accounts, so when you play PvP games while not level 30 yet, you are a newb vs an experienced player, and THAT is a bad thing.

New players normally do not know about custom games and intro , ofc , is not a good practice arena after understanding the mechanics of the game. As for beginner bots, Nope see ranked silver up to diamond in there all the time while trying to teach friends. Lvl 30 is bad enough , but Ranked Skilled players...really ?

If it is just insurance to always get that IP , then Riot might as well just hand it out , since it really means nothing to get it ...just saying .

Thanks for your comment, Thee Ace Heimerdinger

Yeah, to be honest, just logging in should automatically just hand out the 150 IP.

I do think that once you hit level 30 that you should only be able to get the bonus IP for a normal game of rift or even aram.
