I'm really frustrated with how xp works in the game

Great Muta··1 votes·365 views

I'm 8-6-2 with 110 cs with Vayne at level 10. Enemy Quinn is level 13 with 6-6-2 and 92 CS.

This isn't fair to me. Earlier today, I was 70 cs up on another player and we still had the same level. Isn't playing ADC and having to deal with being constantly squishy enough?

Why should I be punished for playing the better game because he was near more dead minions? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Quinn was the enemy jungler while you were the ADC.

Even ignoring the fact that you were sharing experience with your support, jungle monsters give more gold and experience even at lower CS counts.

Also, junglers often soak a significant amount of experience from lanes when holding them or pushing to tower after a successful gank. They weren't just getting experience from the jungle.

Also, weren't you complaining about getting a two week suspension earlier?

Was that on a different account or something?

Big jungle mobs give more xp.

I just don't think it's fair at all. What's the point of even trying if you can just near stand near things and do significantly better and 3 levels up is significantly better.

What are you on about? Jungle xp requires you to kill the mobs now.

I've also had experiences in top where somehow, the guy hugging the turret ended up ahead of me despite me being even or ahead in kills and CS, due to the way XP works.

He was in range of xp while you weren't. Look up how xp works. Its pretty straight forward

I just don't agree with it. I think the player with the most cs, gold, kills and buffs together should be the one who is most ahead(though something needs done for supports).

well you see if he hugs turret and does not go back eventually he will out level you because you back to get items but its your fault for not freezing the wave when you are stronger at your turret and then zoneing him off xp and gold.

Indeed, wave control is, from what I've seen, an incredibly useful mechanic in either of the side lanes especially. It can affect how much cs and XP each laner gets.
