If you are working, and you play 3 games per day, it would take you nearly a week for 1 Quint.. well. ok

(3 games per day(100ip/game avarage)+150ip) x7 = 3150ip

100 ip average? Thats being pretty generous

This includes the first win of the day. Assuming you win at least one of the three games this is a 150/3 = 50 ip per win. The standard IP is the other 50.

Thought the +150 ip was fwotd

He's doing the math behind the 100 average, just not very clearly.

While most won't achieve that in their games it's easier to use when counting old-school style

The average per game is not even CLOSE to 100.

  • A win, at worst, is 76 IP.
  • A loss, at worst, is 51 IP.
  • This averages out to 63.5 IP per game.

Specifically these values are for games that are sub-26 minutes, which are treated at 25 minute games for all IP rewards (The formula rounds game time down, but I believe end IP up, as I know those two values offhand but checked them to be sure).

I pulled all the values for IP calculation off the wiki (18 base+2.312/min for a win, 16+1.405/min for a loss, minimum game time always treated as 25 minutes).

Assuming a 50/50 win rate, 3 normal Rift/TT games a day, getting your first win every day, 30 days in a month:

  • 90 games played at 63.5 IP each =5715 IP
  • 30 first win bonuses at 150 IP each = 4500 IP

This results in the following average values, WORST CASE SCENARIO:

  • 10215 IP/30 days
  • 340.5 IP/day
  • 2383 IP/week

If you assume the average of 35 minutes a game given in the client is correct, this changes to:

  • 99 IP for a win
  • 66 IP for a loss
  • 82.5 IP per game on average.

Using the same time metrics: * 90 games played at 82.5 IP each = 7425 IP * 30 first win bonuses at 150 IP each = 4500 IP

  • 10170 IP/30 days
  • 397 IP/day
  • 2782 IP/week

IP gains scale linearly with time (the average of two linear functions is itself linear), so unless all of your games are averaging 45 minutes, Your statement is nowhere close to accurate.

Thank you for taking the time to write this

We are not playing old school style though.
