Get rid of xp sharing!

AirT·Dec 31, 2016·1 votes·1,178 views

Being an adc has gotten harder and ganks, roams from mid or top lane teleports have a high chance of working out. A reason for that is because solo lanes get more xp so they are higher level than bot lane . If xp sharing is removed we would all be around the same level and the game would become quicker. For some adc having ur ult could turn around the gank from the jungler or just being the same level could possibly bring up a counterplay. I think xp sharing should be removed, it makes the game quicker and will make adc a less shitty role.

(Edit: After some comments I saw I realized that this would change the game a lot because there could be 3 top or even 2 top 1 mid 2 bot without a jungle and it would still work out because of not having to share xp. Ty for comments.)

Why on earth do you want games to be quicker?

This would turn the meta on its head utterly: a few things i can think of off-hand: mage supports would become terrifying and the entire ADC class would need their stats retuned over multiple patches of OPness. In the long term, it would probably mean the adc/support botlane would cease to exist, the entire meta would become less stable, and you would start seeing unholy terrors like janna and duo yasuo top.

This would drastically alter the entire way the game is played. The meta was originally formed based on exp sharing. As mids and tops scale better with levels and thus cannot have a support. While ADCs only need items.

And you are acting like this woudl be a bad thing.

We might even see marksmen become optional if this kind of thing were to happen.

The meta should not be set in stone with one top, one mid, marksmen with support bot and a jungler.

It kinda is set in stone. At this point the entire game is balanced around it, and we have role select. Otherwise it will just become a wasteland of random bullshit until another meta is found and set in stone. It is like anarchy societies, it doesn't work because something always becomes predominant eventually.

considering riot has had no issue with adding things like keystones or first turret gold I think the game would survive and be fine after a few patches.

Yes... and then just cycle into a different 'set in stone' meta. It would be change for the sake of change.

It's an interesting thought but support would need compensation as well. Only problem is though I want this bittch Caitlyn to be weak af early because those traps are cancer/poor game design.

RIP supports. no gold or xp for you.

Irelia BotDec 31, 20161 votes

this is not a call for no way of supports getting EXP but simply making camping a lane without success as well as being a duo lane vs a solo has more drastic down sides.

FYI not all MOBA have exp that when shared gets boosted by 30.4%. Dota 2 does not have it and in turn duo lanes are an option but not mandatory.

I didnt mean that support dont get xp lol. If they are close to a dying minion they would get xp as if he killed that minion. Everyone gets the full xp if they are close to a creep instead of sharing that creeps xp.

Irelia BotDec 31, 20161 votes

So you are saying the one closest to the minion gets the exp?

AirTDec 31, 20161 votes

No you get same xp if you were to kill the minion alone. If a minon gives 100 xp and you kill the minion with your support nearby, you will get 100 xp and your support will get 100 xp . Just like solo lanes bot lane would be the same level.

that would kill jungling.
