Can we get a bit less of level difference in the game?

its actualy preety tiring that solo laners can get such a level advantage without doing anything significant on lane

i had a crapload of games where the only people who mattered in games were the midlaners or toplaners, one won the lane so he was lvl 15 the other lost so he was lvl 13. All of this while the rest of the game was running on levels 12 or lower

The most extreme case was a diana running with lvl 17 while the next highest lvl was 14 (and he was the only one was that close)

Such a level advantage is a game impacting infusion of sheer stats and it can completly invalidate any sort of strategy, tactics or even simply outplaying your enemy due to how insanely overloaded they are with sheer stats.

and in a lot of the cases that level advantge is obtained by simply farming the lane while others dont cause they are fighting for the objectives

doesnt seem like its a good gameplay to me

Sure never feels this way as the solo laner. Most solo laners will tell you that the only lane that matters is bot lane and most bot laners will tell you they can't do anything about these "overleveled solo laners".

I went 17/3/17 on Jhin the other day, Level 17 at 34 minutes 221 CS (18k Gold)

Meanwhile enemy Ryze 12/7/8, Level 16, 223 CS (17k Gold)

Get ready to get downvoted by solo laners telling you that bottom lane is the only lane that matters and can carry this game.

This is also including the fact I was on the map longer than Ryze as he died 4 more times than me but I was only able to accumulate a one level lead..

I guarantee any solo laner that was 17/3-17 would’ve been massively 4-5 levels ahead and one shot anyone, especially a Ryze.

The exp curve is ridiculous given the fact ADCs always have to share exp with their support even getting ahead you’re still behind cause solo exp is way more rewarding for doing nothing.

The exp curve really needs to be looked at.

ADC's are strong enough to fight at a level disadvantage, and fight on even terms. When an ADC is taken solo lane, they're automatically OP because they're balanced around the duo lane exp disadvantage. ADC being able to go solo lane and just stomp face because champions have been balanced for ARAM is a seriously problem that I see voiced again and again on the forums but continues to go unaddressed.

I really think riot balances mainly around ARAM where stuff like AP nasus was a nightmare, so as a result his E is nerfed to oblivion where an ADC can stand in the thing and heal up from passive regeneration and a doran's blade. I agree with the thread that got 20 downvotes yesterday that most top laners/tanks are incredibly weak due to the game being balanced around ARAM, where tanks can dominate. True damage exists, but not flat resistance, for one example.
