It is not the support's fault for being so behind.

I'm a little tired of people saying that you are a bad support if you are more then 1 level lower then your ADC. This is just blatant ignorance of the role. If a support is 2-4 levels lower then their ADC the question is not how bad are they, but rather who have they been helping? If you don't believe me then look at the latest LCS games. The best supports in the world are constantly 3-8 levels behind the highest level champion and 2-5 levels behind their ADC. This is a much larger gap then last season. This imbalance is most prominent when players are starting to hit levels 11-15 (which is probably the most important time in the game). The Gap closes from levels 16-18. If anyone was wondering why we don't see much variation in the LCS for supports you need look no further then the EXP gap. The only player that seems to be immune to this problem is Immortal's Adrian. Honestly, I have been trying to learn from him and have been trying to figure out how he does it. I wish I could catch him on Twitch more.

I am starting to feel like a broken record here but supports need their EXP back.
