Experience differences

Hi all,

I have an issue with how experience is gained, I play mostly top lane now, being by myself with my bff from the other side of the rift made me notice something. The exact example I'll use was when I was vs .

I was not exactly stomping Mundo, but I was 3/0/1 and he was 0/2/0. I had almost double his CS (This was like, maybe 20 minutes into the game) but he ended up with a higher level than I because he would rub himself against his failed CSing and I would stand back, cs with my shield, go in when he used his abilities, repeat.

I find it weird that you would get the same amount of experience from just standing around a dying minion then you would from actually killing it. Maybe I've been playing too many RPGs, but shouldn't you get less experience if you didn't actually deal the killing blow? Similar to how in bot lane, the ADC would end up with a higher level because he's focusing on CSing while the support is busy doing his own thing.

It feels weird that my opponent is getting rewarded for failing and I get punished for doing well.
