@Riot EXP rewards will only reinforce 4-men gank botlane

Why would they gank Top, since they will not earn any bonus EXP. Why would they gank Mid, since it's only one kill and if they have mobility or flash up is almost impossible to score a kill.

Ganking botlane now will be the only viable strategy, since you'll be boosting 2 champions, you the jungler + your support. That will be a mess, because if you don't gank there even when your Bot is winning, you'll know for sure the enemy gank will camp Bot.

I think Riot should add a nerf to kill share EXP pass 2 champions to make more viable ganking Mid or Top

It's for people who are behind in levels. If the mid or top is behind it'll work for them too. If they're ahead or neutral it wouldn't do much (since they get solo exp).

The thing is, ganking botlane it's already more effective when we have a even ground. Because it's twice the exp and twice the gold, adc and supports are usually squishy and don't have much mobility, plus your ADC can deal a lot of damage if you pin the enemy, and I'm not even putting the dragon in consideration.

As you see, the TOP and MID don't offer anything for the jungler that beat the bonus he get by ganking BOT.

That's not due to the bonus exp though. This only applies if you're a full level behind. That doesn't happen until lvl5/6 unless something terrible happened 1-3 mins in.

They do need to add a point on being behind the enemy team though, basing it off of one's own team level average instead of the difference between the two teams is an oversight for sure.
