First win of the Day for all game modes?

Please? It seems absolutely silly that you have to wait 24 hours to earn just 150 IP, something you could earn in 2 games anyway. I really feel like there should be more ways to earn IP anyway, considering how much of a grind it is to make a Runepage library (been playing for almost 4 years, still only have 12 rune pages)

Let's just say we did give a First win of the day bonus to each game mode, first of all, you'll boost the popularity of Twisted Treeline, and maybe people will actually start to like it more (It really is a nice looking map when you look at it). On top of that, if we also include the rotating game mode queue, (I'm assuming that the featured game modes are only available during the weekend?) That's 450 available bonus IP every weekday, and 600 bonus IP on both weekend days. If we do the math, that's 1200 IP from the weekends, and 2250 from the week days, for a total of 3450 a week. Holy cow! Building a champion roster and rune page library actually seems realistic for new players WITHOUT IP boosts with those numbers! It's a lot better than 1050 IP every week...

So, 13800 a month versus 4200 every month. That's not seriously too much, is it?

This has been brought up a number of times in the past. Various concerns that I remember being raised before:

  1. Higher IP means less encouragement to buy boosts/RP means lower profit margins for Riot.
  2. Increased feeling of "needing to grind wins daily" compared to League's more laid-back current approach.
  3. Lower quality games, particularly for non-SR modes, due to people only showing up for FWotD bonuses.
