Jungle XP question

IP Masquerena··2 votes·1,068 views

So I'll skip the pleasantries, as I'm a bit tilted from that match.

So, I played Shyvana vs Nasus jungle, not that interesting, I cleared my Red, then went to steal his Raptors and Red, stole a bunch of his Krugs as well, then a bit later we both die to each other (bad damage math on my side and a bit of greed).

Anyway, I proceed to steal his Raptors again, haven't encountered him again yet, but after I see him again a bit later, he is level 6 to my level 5. He didn't gank lanes nor was he visiting lanes to soak XP from there, as he didn't appear on the map between when we killed each other and when he showed up as level 6 while having almost half my CS, and he was not invading either, which after the jungle XP changes, he shouldn't be able to have that level lead on me.

So my question is, is there anyway for him to legitely get a level lead over me when he wasn't ganking nor being able to farm very much?

Yes, we lost and I ended 3-10 while he got big, but that's the thing, he got too big too fast and I just can't understand where his XP came from as no matter how I spin it, almost half my CS + no ganks + no invades =/= him having a level lead.

Watch your replay... seriously the easiest way to see it.

It's possible he soaked lane XP from outside of vision. It's a good strategy if your mid lane backs and a wave dies to tower to soak the xp while clearing raptors, for example. You also never mentioned scuttles - those are pretty big still right? Perhaps he got several of them while you were busy stealing his camps?

All the questions will be answered when you watch your replay though. Just watch where his XP came from.

He couldn't clear Raptors since they weren't there to be cleared.

As for Scuttlers, out of the first 3, I got them all and the 4th didn't spawn yet when I saw him with the level lead.

So... did you watch your replay? Interested to hear the result then. He must have been soaking lane xp.

Yes, I did. All he took was:

2 Gromps, 2 Wolves, 2 Blue, 1 Red and 1.5 Krug camp.

No lane ganks, no soaking.

He did try an invasion, but my blue side was empty, so that was even more lost time for him.

Tho there's this thing when I asked him wtf is that level lead on less camps, he told me that "I got nerfed for tryharding in normals and stealing his camps".

When he tried to invade my blue side, I was chased off of my camps by Wukong a little, but he took none, so when he left I just went back to farm them, making it so that for a short period, neither of us got XP.

I guess report a bug... Sounds weird.
