How Do People Level So Quick In-Game

The Aggressor·Mar 8, 2016·1 votes·818 views

While playing this game, ive always noticed that there is always that one player that is two levels above me. Sometime well have around the same cs score, kills and assists, yet hes 2 levels above me. How are people leveling so quickly? Are there items that give extra xp that im unsure of? Such as the jungling items that give bonus xp upon killing a monster.

My next question is how people are getting so much cs? We will be 30 minutes into the game with our jax going 11/0/7 with 280 cs. How can you manage to get 280 cs when you attacked 18 people, along with recalling now and then? Unless theyre split lane pushing nonstop

Play Shyvana and clear jungle camps in like 2 seconds. You can hit 6 before mid lane, and can be 6 while bot lane is lvl 4.

What about top laning (I ask this because its usually where the player that is 2 lvls ahead of me is)? I main Nocturne and Olaf so should i just farm minions and take monsters a few times?

It sounds like you are playing against active top laners. By this, I mean they are never just going to push their lane into your turret and sit and wait for you to push it back so they can farm and force you under turret. They are most likely pushing waves to your turret, going to kill Gromp, your rock camp, scuttle, wolves, etc, then coming back to farm out their lane. This way, the are always gaining xp and always staying active and are back in top lane before their waves hit their turret, allowing them to full farm a large wave(s) back to your turret. Rinse and repeat.

If you're top lane focus on last hitting every minion. Try aiming for 10 cs per minute

It's not all dependent on CS and Kills, just being near minions grants exp so spending more time in lane can also affect your level. However it sounds like you may be playing in bot lane where the rest of the lanes are 2 levels ahead of you because that is pretty regular because the ADC and Support have to share some of the Exp making them level slightly slower until they start snowballing or splitting. As for the 280 CS at 30min it is not difficult especially on a champion like Jax who can gank but leaping on them, murdering them and disappearing in 15sec, and on top of that building a Guinsoos Rageblade on him allows him to clear lanes incredibly fast, in 30min there are about 360 available minions that spawn in just one lane not including jungle camps and other lanes.

I do mainly everything, but no matter where i am, im always behind by 2 levels whether it be mid, top, or jungle (never adc/support though). I think my probelm is i recall too much, so ill try staying in my lane longer.

That's definitely a good start, early game in lane you want to focus on out CSing your opponent while still harassing them and not allowing them to CS as much as you do yourself, like firing off an ability if they go into to take a minion stuff like that just to make them scared of you, this way you can protect yourself, and in most cases punish aggressive moves made by your opponent. It is better to play on the safer side early game and try and hit that power spike with your champion before they can, this will allow you to Recall less and usually back for the first time with 1500 gold or so, and hopefully have forced them to back already before that. I'm not saying to play completely passively and focus only on the minions but you need to find the balance between CSing and harassment, and try to avoid going all in unless you know you can kill them or at least force them to recall without dying or even losing too much health. I guarantee you if you use this method you'll find yourself out leveling your opponent and likely some other team mates. Keep in mind that this is for lanes when you are in the jungle farm until at least 3 depending on the champion and then gank when you see good opportunities, like the enemy laner is pushed almost to tower and your laner is still there and has enough health/mana/energy to help you out and make sure they know you're coming, nothing is worse than continuing to feed an already fed lane (in which case think about your gank very carefully before you even do it) or feeding kills to a laner just because of a badly timed gank.

As a jungler, when a lane is empty, you gotta know when to hold'em. Know when to farm em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run.

You get XP from being around minions that die, or killing them yourself. The champions that out-level you probably stayed in lane more and/or didn't die as much, and focused on farming. I've played ganking junglers (Pantheon, etc.), and even if i had success ganking, i would fall behind in XP to the other jungler who spent the time farming.

There's a specific Jungle route that'll get you level 6 at 6 min

Because they farm WAY quicker than you. He is fighting (and killing) everyone while spit pushing, farming like crazy, recalling and TPing back to the lane to keep pushing.
