What if we removed the EXP penalty for duo lanes?

Think about it for a sec, the main reason why mages go solo is because is because they scale better with level. What if we removed that hindrance? Would we start seeing shit like assassins or maybe bruisers bot? Annie support was ridiculous, what if SHE was the one getting supported lol.

Then why don't more ADCs go mid and top if giving them more exp is so crazy? Everyone wants to forget how morde was just running over ADCs

they don't because they rely on their support. if they suddenly can rely on their support without having the tradeoff of reduced xp they will brake the game.

oh great idea. let's buff the most overpowered lane in the game.

Wouldn't this type of thing ruin JG? Because now we wont need 2 JG's on the team, just Supports with Smite. Since top is a majority of time Tanks it would be even worse. So at worse it would be JG's take top JG or more realistically Both buffs and then top JG and then sit in lane and wait for respawns and repeat this. Even then if only 1 team has this Top will be punished the most, because it will be 2v1 constantly while either your JG or the enemy JG doesn't go to lane. The enemy JG could get ahead unless caught, but then agian the 2v1 lane could get the Top laner with 2 far enough lead that it wouldn't matter if the enemy JG was farmed.

Lololol WOW. Lets use that scenario then.

Riot made it more difficult for duo laners to go top
There are plenty of top laners who can 2v1 pretty decenty
If jungler is just gonna be sitting top then thats an advantage for 4 of your allies
If this is gonna be such an issue then remove the penalty for JUST bottom lane

You really DIDN'T think this through before posting this, huh...

The reason Morde adc works is because of just that. If he wasn't out of meta and riddled with bugs, he never would have left the position except for the occasional main.

Botlanes are too snowbally already. It wouldn't be good for this meta, and it may be fundamentally contrary to basic balance principles of MOBAs.

You're supposed to get a smaller amount of lane exp if you share it with someone, it's not really a "penalty", just the consequence of a limited amount of CS experience shared between two players.
