First win of the day suggestion

Right now the first win of the day bonus is pretty lackluster, you win a game every 18 hours and you get a small bonus to IP. I think there needs to be an additional quest of the day because right now you don't have to do anything special like carry your team through the game or improve upon your playstyle. I think it would be cool if we had something that gave a large IP bonus once a day which randomly selects from a pool of premade quests. Something like, "place 5 wards down in one game," or "have the least deaths of your team," or "upgrade your goddamn trinket," or "gain 200 CS in one game," could be beneficial to the community since it would provide a reward system for playing smart. You would get a sizable IP gain, like 500, and this promotes healthy playstyles.

First win of the day bonus would still exist so you could passively let the team carry you to victory if need be but once a day you would also have to actively try to improve your skillset. This would be a great for newbies who don't know a thing about the game and need some help gaining runes. I don't think it should provide a huge chunk of experience because right now people that hit level 30 don't know anything about the game still, so speeding the level gains won't help at all but at least they could have 2 full sets of rune pages and a few champions to start ranked with if we tune this correctly.

In the back of my mind, I've always found it difficult to stock up IP for champions. It could take me as long as 12-15 days of consistent gameplay to reach even 5000IP, which is pretty sad considering there's champions for more than that, and in abundance.

The ideology of being rewarded for smart decision making and achieving goals seems really cool, and would definitely take some tension off the game and give something for players to think about and strive for-- not something too hard that it becomes toxic, though.

Also, quests in-game like Kha'zix v Rengar or Battle of Freljord always seemed well designed and fun to include, and something similar daily would be even better!

I wouldn't say that this idea is necessarily original, but with preseason coming up, it's time to get Reds involved.

This is such a good idea.

The bonus is too small, which leads to about every single player not being as motivated to get their first win of the day as if the bonuses are bigger. I also love the IP bonus idea.

And just to add, I think as our** summoner lvls **grow then the objectives should get harder. For example: If you're Lvl 5 - Get 5000 gold If you're Lvl 15 - Get 10000 gold.

Or maybe either make it actually daily (AKA it resets at 12:00 AM) or make it First Match of the Day. Sometimes I can't play a full match in the hope that I get a win, so I play bots most of the time when I have little spare time.
