How is it fair that midlaners are always going to be minimum 2 levels ahead of ADC's, regardless of how well the ADC plays? In the last game I played, the mid laner was already 4 levels ahead of me by the time I got a few items.

I get that I'm supposed to wait for some fantasyland trade-off at 45 mins in when I have all items, but most of my games end a little after 30 minutes, so what exactly am I trading off for here?

If you really did play perfectly, then the only difference is 1, they have more kills/assists, or 2, the solo lane thing (EXP is shared with nearby allies).

Also, ADCs don't scale with levels in the first place. They scale with items. Which comes with gold. Midlaners scale off levels harder relatively speaking.

What do you expect?

Hint, it's most likely you not playing anywhere as near as perfect as you think you did.

You get a support. Literally an entire champion dedicated to craddling your balls.

The midlaner doesn't share exp with their babysitter.

I don't see where your problem is. Looking through my recent match history, there isn't a single game where mid was 2 or more levels ahead of my ADC. In fact, about half of the games the ADC is ahead of mid by 1 level.

Take your adc to a solo lane if you care about exp so much, I'm sure the enemy laner and jungler will appreciate an adc without a support to peel.

Um, it's because you're sharing XP with your support. Midlaner gets solo Exp.

You can't argue about simte nunus if you're goint to b*tch about sharing exp with your supp.

Why calling something fair or unfair if it is the origin of the role you're playing.

Why do think Mid APC, Bot ADC-Supp exists? APC scales best with Level and lacks susatin - that's why he get a SoloLane the short one. ADC scales best with gold, has sustain and is weak early. That's why he can be send to a long lane gets a Supp to compensate his early and make use of the 'unnecessary' teamslot who further increases Sustain ->Time on Lane -> GoldIncome.

Ok 'Fix' this problem: And watch every Krit scaling ADC being outclassed by the likes of Ezreal, Ziggs, Lucian... or basicly any long range caster (AD or AP).

How is it fair that bot is always going to have 1 more person than other lanes?

That's literally the point of them going midlane - it's the shortest lane so they get xp faster. You stick the champions who get the biggest benefit from levels mid, which are mages and assassins.
