Extra IP for support in team builder

I think RIOT should award extra IP for support rolls in team builder as an incentive to play to decrease wait times.

Wait 8 hours for some group that wants a top lane support.

The point is, if someone plays a role listed as "in demand" (hint: not top lane support), they'd get an IP boost of some kind.

"In demand" is a much better way to phrase it, yes. If you just make it so that the "support" tag gets you extra ip, top/mid/jung can just queue as "support" and get the bonus, since those roles are usually left open as "any role."

I'm pretty sure a lot of people who builds a team never listed the top lane itself as specifically for "Fighter" or "Tank", they would rather just leave it as "Any Role", so yea, there's a chance a top lane "Support" is found.

I disagree with your proposal.

If Riot were to award more IP to players who play a certain class, it would be favoritism towards players who enjoy playing support and it would be unfair for players who enjoy playing other roles. Just because a role is more unpopular than others, does not merit giving a niche of people who play that role bigger rewards.

If supports get more IP for team builder, then other roles should also be given the same amount of additional IP.

It would only be for team builder and that would be fine. The point is it creates an incentive for people to roll support. Surely they would play to win for the extra IP, otherwise whats the point?
