Hunter's machete Xp bug?

Hi folks,

I did some research for the passive "Monster hunter" on the hunter's machete... and i feel like it doesn't apply xp correctly.

So to confirm the passive. UNIQUE - Monster Hunter: Killing large or epic monsters grants +50 bonus experience, and gain +50 bonus experience for each level the monster is higher than you. The first large monster killed grants +120 bonus experience. Minion gold earned is reduced by 10 per minion if their owner's gold from minions is greater than half their gold from monsters.

If i understand correctly, if i start red, this should give me 285 xp (165 + 120, which it does) Boom lvl 2.

Here's the problem. When you converge to blue, kill blue, theoretically it should give me 165+50 right? No where i can see if there is a cooldown on the passive there. Then i go for either Big wolf or grump (both give 165 + 50? or at least grump as he is for sure a large monster) But it still doesnt. So clearing 3 camps, still lvl 2. Same thing with scuttler.

I remember couple patch away, or last season, we would do blue + red then scuttler and you would reach lvl 3. But not anymore?

Is it a bug or i just don't understand the passive?

The part that you're confused on is that the +50 and +120 stacks. Red buff, at base, gives 115 exp+50 base bonus exp+120 for first large monster=285. Also, different monsters grant different amounts of gold. Both the buffs and gromp give 115 at lvl 1, but the other large monsters grant less since there are more monsters you kill. And yes, currently you have to kill 4 camps total for lvl 3 (unless you do krugs, red>krugs>raptors will give 3).
