Gifting Champions with ip

So I've never posted on the forums but I do browse it occasionally. I was thinking about this idea on the way home just now because I thought of how cool it would be to be able to gift a friend whose just getting into league a champ they are interested in learning. Obviously I don't know the reasons this would be a bad idea aside from Greed. I would love to be able to help a few friends of mine get into the game as it would be easier for me to help them get into certain champions if I was able to gift them that champ with IP instead of RP. Love me or hate me I think this would be really cool and perhaps in the future runes could be gifted as well with IP. Let me know what you guys think?

So ideally I think it would be a good idea but you run into one huge problem. You'd have people create bots purely for the purpose of grinding ip in order to gift champions/sell them for money.

This is a bad idea because any time you create an incentive for players to make in-game currency, the greed comes out.

The Diablo 3 Auction House; we all know what happened there...

In case you didn't, the Auction House was a way to get in-game gold and real-life money by selling loot you found in the game. One patch there was a glitch that got exploited to get free gold. One player supposedly grinded over 3 trillion gold (3,000,000,000). Imagine if he'd tried to sell that in-game gold for real-world money? They shut the Auction House down.
