Easy fix/nerf for the gold funneling strategy

Abarn·7/5/2018, 3:06:13 PM·1 votes·1,535 views

I saw a great idea from another user on how to fix the gold funneling strategy - unique passive on JG items "Killing a lane minion awards full experience to this champion". i.e. Junglers can no longer share exp with their funneling support, killing the funnel strat.

The problem - this would introduce a big issue with junglers taxing lanes on a regular basis, and would open up to trolling/etc.

The solution - Tie it in directly with support items. When a jungler kills a lane minion, the experience is not shared with any nearby champions holding support items. This would kill funneling with a support carrying around a support item, but would still share exp with your other laners if a JG chooses to tax lanes.

This actually makes funneling worse, the idea of funneling is to get one person miles ahead of the game pace, if they don't have to share exp anymore they'll be even more levels ahead of the game Meanwhile the support who gets levels behind still has a baseline level of effectiveness while getting catchup exp on whatever minions they do get, and on the champ takedowns they'll get from their hyperfed funneled carry

Do it the other way around : if you buy a jungler item, you only get half xp from a lane until a certain point in the game (so you wouldn't get fucked if you're behind while not abusing it)

Do you even know what the point of funneling is?
