Daily Reward System

l Helios l··2 votes·416 views

So I've been noticing that several other games have a system of this sort that rewards players for consecutive logins. Many different phone and Facebook oriented games have this, as do a few other MOBA's. Say, for instance, a person logs in for 3 days straight. That person gains a set amount of bonus IP, maybe 300 IP or something, for that consecutive behavior. This positively reinforces the players to continue to log in more frequently, which causes the game to gain popularity. Now, say for a 7th day login, the player receives a set amount of RP, like 250 RP or something like that. Now, some may feel this would hurt sales and profit, but I don't think so. Most people with the intent of spending money in a game aren't going to be persuaded to be patient and wait to gain the RP needed, should such a system be introduced; they will simply pay the $5 or $10 for X skin or Y champion. Most people who want something will naturally just go and buy it rather than wait, primarily because people are naturally impatient. This also allows players who don't want to spend money on the game and have no intention of doing so get some of the same rewards as those who choose to invest money in the game, while having to be more dedicated than those who spend money (the non-spenders have to login more than the spenders in order to gain the same rewards). This offers a decent balance between not hurting those spending money and rewarding those who don't spend money for just being dedicated players. Just a thought from observations of other games. Let me know what you guys think! P.S. None of the amounts and when they are distributed were meant to be taken as being set in stone; the company can play with those as they see fit.

The daily reward thing is already in place with the first win of the day bonus. A daily login reward is silly, that is what mobile pay2win games do.

That's a valid point. I don't think the concept is silly though, since other games similar to League do this as well (Smite jumps to mind immediately). There is no actual need to pay money in Smite for anything: skins, gods, anything. In League, in order to receive skins (victorious skins and yearly rewards removed), someone MUST pay money for them to get them. Whether it's your friend or yourself, someone has to. My point in saying this is to give players an alternative to getting skins that they want without having to pay for them. The daily win bonus is fine as it is, I'm just proposing an alternative for those who don't want to spend money in the game.

They do have several different things being implemented for next season that will allow you to earn skins and unlock champions and some sort of crafting feature. I believe that would cover those issues. Smite does that system to try and maintain their player base, where league has established a massive community and player base already.

League may not have to be concerned with a player base like Smite may need to, but it doesn't hurt to show some love to the rest of the fan-base that doesn't want to pay money for something when the concept of the game is "free-to-play". Well yes it is free, but some things are restricted to paying players. I don't know the extent to the additions within the preseason updates concerning skins and stuff, but I'll look into that to see what I can find. Either way, it's just a proposal to offer some love to those who don't want to dump tons of money into the game but still want some of the stuff that those who do have.
