Why does losing a PvP game give you less XP than winning a Bot game?!?

Seriously? Should the point be to push players leveling accounts to play less bots and move PvP? Why is the new player experience in this game so shitty!?!

Why would losing give more then winning?

Do you want to spend all your time playing bots? Also for new players, is it better for them to play bots and learn nothing about how the game is actually played? Reward folks for playing the actual game...

It is better to play bots are first, and then it wants you to transition, as you can see as you start getting lower and lower returns in Bots. One second, doing the math.

I think that's intentional. If you're new to mobas then you'll probably need a ton of bot games before you're ready for pvp. If you're already skilled you'll win most of your pvp games at that level anyway.

I think winning faster should grant more points than winning slowly and losing faster should grant far less than losing slowly. Losing slowly should more closely resemble winning slowly as far as experience gain goes than it does currently. That's my issue with the experience gain system and why people that want to surrender have a bad reputation, they are just perceived as people that want a win and don't care about anything else, when sometimes they don't like their team and that's why they are voting in favor of surrendering.

It's true, losing slowly, a lot of terrible players would get more experience than they deserve when they were the ones that some responsible players were trying to carry, but I doubt the games would get particularly long on a regular basis for such players and they would very rarely if at all be able to win quickly.

Ok, so let's say that you are playing perfectly 30 minute games, just to make things easier. A loss of 30 minutes in PvP gets us 167 XP. At levels 1 to 9, a win in bots gets us 155.1.

Oh, you are just wrong, hm, thought it might have been you get more or the same XP, but no never, you just get more XP through pvp outright, seems I was wrong too.
