Solo lane vs bot/jungle lane scaling divide in 4.2

Dagejr·Nov 20, 2014·1 votes·267 views

So ive played several games in the new patch, and with the new method of scaling it seems like the solo laners are a large amount stronger than bot/jungle lanes than previous. In close games i was getting just CHUNKED by single spells from laners. Jungle/bot has always been a few levels behind during most of the early/mid game but the new patch seems to have really exacerbated this, and if a laner gets ahead, it seems the game is almost over as they start one shotting others. Is this an issue that others are also having, any suggestions to counterplay this? Feedback is appreciated.

Interesting. With their move, being level 2 compared to level 1 is less important, but being level 14 compared to level 13 is a bigger stat gain than before.

On the one hand, you spend more time at level 13/14 so that is arguably a bigger difference than level 1/2. On the other hand, the stat gain at 13/14 should be a smaller percentage of your total because of items. However, that is only true for the stats you are building. An adc with no health items will get a larger health advantage by hitting level 14 compared to his enemy than pre-4.20.
