tells us that Riot has the code necessary to tell the difference between nearby Minions killed by you, or some other cause.
So how about including an experience bonus, on all three Support item upgrade lines, on nearby Minions killed by another Champion?
It would start out relatively minor (up to around level 5-6 the Support will level equally to their ADC partner, but from there on the ADC usually starts getting ahead) and ramp up as the item is upgraded.
Final Spark Lux1 votesUh, the exp is split. If you stay in range of minions and dont roam, youll level exactly as fast as the ADC does. Kinda makes this pointless, since you already do equal their exp

The Support's "duties" doesn't allow them to hug the ADC 24/7.
Warding, roaming and all that makes them the second most "map active" role in the game, but without delicious jungle creeps to make up for all that wandering about.
That is why the Support inevitably will fall behind the rest of the team.
