XP balance is unreal this patch

I genuinely do not understand the logic behind the new xp. Solo laners level SOOOO much faster than bot lane, it just makes bot lane an unfun lane to play. Just played a game where me and my ADC were level 11 and 12 when the solo laners and our jungler were level 17 and 18. It made us bot laners literally scrounge up any gold and any xp we could find on the map. It makes the game feel like a survival PVE game rather than a PVP, team based game. Being so far behind in xp and gold just takes you out of the game. Just feels awful to play. Please reconsider the XP changes.

i've been saying this today as well... if your team is behind, the entire enemy team is going to come botlane first because it's easy pickins. A smooth doublekill on two underleveled players, conveniently right by drake! plus the added bonus of the alcove making these plays even easier to execute. seriously what the hell. bot lane is not fun to play. top lane doesn't seem fun either. seems like 'if you are not a roaming assassin/mage then screw your experience' to me. being support is the real struggle though. enchanter supps are a dying class. they can't cs or defend themselves. they can't roam because they have no dashes or whatever to get out safely. the power creep with all these new champs is thinning the roster and diversity heavily. Every game feels the same because it's always the same champs getting locked in.

XP changes pan out as follows: As a duo laner, once every 6 minutes presuming you never miss XP you lose 1 caster minion of XP As a solo laner once every 3 minutes presuming you never miss XP you gain 1 caster minion of XP

With the way that different minion XP goes, you are losing 1 wave of XP per 24 minutes relative to your solo laners. You're not a whole wave behind - it's mostly in them having more XP.

It's... not much different to before unless you're jungle.

Now imagine being a jungler who levels at the same rate as bot lane but has no support to peel for you or turret to run your ass to when solo lanes come take your camps because they can.

Your match history says otherwise.

In all your games your adc is the same level as your top or higher, at worst, one level down

The xp change was minuscule. You are like just noticing differences more cause you expect them and are looking for them. The real cause of any abnormal level diffs is quite likely kill xp,especially solo kill xp.

gold never changed, if you're still behind that means you just arent farming well or are just flat out outplayed.

xp nerfs were likely due to the drake changes, so you dont get them too early.

Oh it's pretty crazy. Played a Custom match with 9 friends in a little skirmish when the Patch launched (played ASol mid) and when I roamed bot I realized that when I was Lv.11 (Rank 2 Ult) the enemy bot lane and my bot lane were 6/7.

Junglers were Lv.9. Lol
