Experience Advantage in Lanes

You might have heard that having a jungler on your team is a huge advantage. But why is that? Well, there is a distinct advantage to this: extra experience earned for the team. Extra experience means stronger early champions, which means stronger spells, which means stronger fighting ability! Although you can win games without the extra experience, it certainly would not hurt to be two or three levels higher than your opponents!

Here's a scenario:

The enemy team has a jungler, and your team does not. Your team has two champions facing just one enemy champion at top lane. At the six minute mark, the enemy champion turns Level 6, while your two champions are both Level 4. The enemy champion can now use their ultimate on you, while you cannot use your ultimate on theirs! The enemy jungler roars out of the river, suppressing you in place while their top lane champion unleashes massive attacks on the both of you! And before you know it, the both of you have fallen, and your tower crumbles into a pile of rubble.

And this is just one scenario!

I would like to ask you this: do you know exactly how much experience is earned by each champion for each kill? Read on!


Experience Earning Ratios:

After patch 1.0.0.113, the new experience gains are as follows:

• One champion gains 100% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Two champions each gain 55% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Three champions each gain 36.7% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Four champions each gain 27.5% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Five champions each gain 22% experience points from minion or champion kills

Prior to the new patch, experience gains were as follows:

• One champion gains 100% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Two champions each gain 50% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Three champions each gain 33.3% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Four champions each gain 25% experience points from minion or champion kills
• Five champions each gain 20% experience points from minion or champion kills

My advice to you with this upcoming patch: the rebalancing of the experience ratio system reduces the effectiveness of jungling; jungling will be a less powerful tactic to use in order to win games! Take advantage of the experience gain increases, and push lanes in which your lane of two are facing a solo lane of one. Play hard, and win fast!
