First win of the day? Thoughts...

Zyorhist·Jun 12, 2014·3 votes·435 views

So we have all had those days where no matter what we cant seem to win one. I know we have the option of getting the free win from bot matches but there is no fun in that. My thought was that you take the 150 ip buff from the first WIN of the day and break it into 2 75 bonuses. 1 would still be for first WIN, but make the other for first GAME of the day. This would allow those who manage to have a day with no luck to feel as though it was still worth the match. This also gives you all 150 if you get the win... Thoughts plz.

Imo, first win should be a increase in ip on next win. but it can stack, if you play a game, but lose, the win bonus is added to your next win.

with it requiring a loss to stack, leaving the game for weeks is not incentivising.

the only problem I could see with this is that it promotes more losing in order to get more ip for wins. I don't disagree with this thought, I just know that if it can be perceived as a way to promote throwing in order to hurry and get more ip.

Basically, you gain an ip boost per day you play a game, to be redeemed on next win, but with a cap to prevent trolling a game a day on several accounts and then going for a bot game to win

Eh, I have a feeling most people just play Bot games to get their first win bonus anyway, even if they've lost a bunch of normal games. The amount of bot games I play (I play a lot of bot games), there are so many people just racing through to get their bonus that I very rarely even get 2/3 of my build completed. Especially annoying when I'm trying to practice last hits and an impatient support or fellow top laner pushes past, takes every single kill, gets executed several times because they're rushing, ends up 30/3/1 then whinges at you for not finishing faster when you're working on your creep score.

Perhaps if you lose your first 3 or 5 games, you automatically get a bonus on your next game even if you lose, that might mitigate it, but otherwise I thing the first win bonus is fine.

I say having the time it resets as a fixed time would be a great thing. then when ever you get on within a 24 hour period you get your first win because lets face it people can't always get on at the exact same time ever day.
