You should always get level 2 if you are a jungler, though you HAVE to have the jungle item first, Either Hunter's Machete item 1041 , or Hunter's Talisman item 1039 , if you take any item other then those you do not get full XP from the jungle camps.

its because your team-mate is soaking up some of the EXP from the death of the camp.

There is no AoE experience sharing in the jungle like there is with lane minions.

Exactly. That was removed when LCS started to constantly double jungle back in the days.

That was removed almost two years ago.

All that's needed for level 2 is Hunter's Machete/Hunter's Talisman now.

Like the other guy said, you HAVE to take machete or talisman first item in order to get the full XP.

All jungle camps spawn as level 2, and give a flat ammount of XP. This flat ammount isn't enough to hit level 2 on its own, however the jungle item adds a bonus and thats "catch-up experience", so for every level difference (since you're level 1 and the camp is level 2) you'll get more XP, just enough to level up.
