If a champion is against two enemys in lane, he gains 120% of the xp, instead of 100%. I don't know how exactly how to do this, but it is just a though. You guys have any ideas? It is pretty boring and denies counterpick
DrCyanide4 votesAs is, they gain 100% XP instead of the 50% of the other team's champions.
Besides, having more experience wouldn't deter the 2v1 from happening.

And what you think would be a good solution? This prevents a lot of champions to be played on competitive
DrCyanide1 votesI don't think it prevents champions from being played in competitive, I think it enables champions to be played in competitive.
To the best of my knowledge, lane swaps are done when one team's bot lane would have a terrible time at early levels against the other team's bot lane. Rather than write off certain champions all together, they swap with the top to get the early levels and farm they need to be able to be viable later in the game. To the best of my knowledge, this hasn't crowded out any top lane picks, since if it's unfavorable for the top laner to go into a 2v1, then they hang out with the jungler to get the experience and gold for the first few levels.
Really, I don't see this as a competitive problem. You can argue it's a spectator problem, but not really a gameplay problem.

Try to pick Fiora, or Darius, or Garen, or , you know, lane bullies and then suddenly the enemy bot lane is at your lane. Gl HF, because you will be unable to do anything
DrCyanide1 votesAnd the competitive teams would prioritize placing deep wards so they could spot the lane swap and swap accordingly. We've seen this happen, so if teams are choosing not to pick Fiora, or Darius, or Garen, it's for other reasons.

Makes a LOT of champions unviable top ( melee lane bullies ). Makes 1v1 interaction nearly non-existent. Makes games extremely boring. Kills counterpicking.

It's interesting that lane variety works just fine in Dota.
Godhri3 voteshe already has an xp gain advantage when its 2v1. There's no point in giving another one.
Poorly Dressed2 votesIt is becoming a problem when only a few top laners are viable in 1v2 situations. For example Maokai with crazy sustain and long range farming ability or Rumble who is extremely efficient without a lot of nicome. I agree it might enable bot lane combinations that would lose in 2v2 situations, but it really limits top lane picks. Not to mention it's super boring to watch. And the xp distribution is not 50% when in duo lane, it's 55%.

KidSpectre1 votesShoot, i'd love to be that solo laner. Get ahead in levels earlier to snowball faster.
