Change first victory of the day to first game of the day.

Tittle says everything. Here is the reasoning.

I have been playing League for about 2 years. I'm a filthy casual which means I play one or two games everyday. I have accounts on many servers and since one of the main ways I enjoy League is by playing a different champion everygame I benefit a lot from the FWOTD bonus.

That's fine and all from a casual point of view but here is the problem. There are many players that only play a game a day, this game is that game for the FWOTD and that's in Bot games cause that way it is guaranteed. What happens when these players go to standard 5v5 pvp in SR? They tilt with so much ease. Their brains somewhere deep inside expect the game to go as smooth as the usual bot games but it will most likely not. Point is FWOTD promotes bot games, that's fine, what's not fine is no one thinks the negative effects that bot games have in players that attempt to eventually play competitive/ranked/normal games.

**tldr FWOTD promotes bot games, bot games give player a non-meta mentality, can we solve this pls? **

This isn't the worst idea, although not for that reason :P Sometimes the drive to win when its "my only game of the day" leads to some stuff like "F*** n00bz mi onli game st0p die". If it GAME then this wouldn't be such a stress point for some people. However, it would be incredibly hard to push this through, and there undoubtedly would be a huge amount of backlash from some people, so the effort --> result would make this unlikely to happen.

I understand your concern but I vote no simply because I feel that if it was changed to the first game you play every day gives you a bonus then it might discourage people from trying as hard as they would normally with the excuse "oh well it's just the first game so who cares?". This would also transfer over to Co-op Vs. AI where people would just goof off and not really be serious about contributing all that much to the actual game itself. That is why I voted no, as to me it would just discourage people from actually trying as hard as they can to actually win the game.
