First Victory of the Day IP Bonus should be in all maps.

We all know that the most maps played are: Howling Abyss Summoner's Rift Twisted Treeline

An idea to boost games on all modes, is to expand the bonus IP for the first victory of the day, to all 3 maps. Every 20 hours, i guess, we have a bonus IP for a victory, in any map. Mostly 100 IP, i guess. So, if you change that to 50 IP, and put it on the 3 maps, that would get people to play at least one match in every map. In the end people woulnt be getting too much IP out of it, because it will not be the same amount that it is today and would be a good incentive for people to play all maps.

This is actually a terrible idea.

IP boosts shouldn't be used to "force" people, but instead reward them. The actual system rewards you for winning every day, no matter the map.

Your system will also invite trolls and toxic players to aram and tt (remember all those aram events?), not to mention the 5-6 min long queue because people keep leaving the lobby if they don't like the team.

Force people to play? So, you feel forced to play every day, to win IP? I dont get your line of thinking?

And about the toxic players, well, too late for that.

The current system gives 150 IP for the first win in each 22-hour period. Your proposed system gives the same amount of IP, yet requires two additional wins. For the majority of players, that's likely to reduce IP gains, since most people aren't equally interested in every map.

If map-specific FWotD bonuses were introduced, it'd be more reasonable to retain the current 150 IP bonus for first win and give reduced amounts, possibly 50 or so, for wins on other maps. This way the change doesn't negatively impact casual players while more dedicated players are rewarded for extra effort.
