No, they couldnt. You can only keep up with solo lanes till level 4, and only if you do nothing but afk farm a speed clearer. Anyone else will be behind a level starting at the point solo lanes hit 4. And where do you pull the exp FROM. You can only get 1 level on either side of the jungle. If you reduce that further, you make it so that you need to clear your entire jungle to hit level 2 and a half. You would need a second full clear to hit level 3. By that time every other lane will be level 4-5. It would be too late at that point, even if exp scaled. You wouldnt be able to catch up. They already deflated exp once. They cannot do it again. | ||

I don't see how, if ad is truely bad, someone could ever take something like Irelia in a competitive scene. Won't they just take an AD and shut you down 100%? I mean... no matchup is 0/9 bad unless you make it that bad by forcing the issue when you know you're at a disadvantage. I don't see why it would be such an awful matchup though. | ||

No matter how hard something "counters" you. I don't play much Irelia but I know that lots of AD carries, including Graves, can solo top or mid just fine. People don't run those counter lanes because of a lot of reasons. They'd rather keep their AD carry safe bottom and get the guaranteed CS that comes with a support, top lane is real scary especially if the enemy jungler camps the lane. And AD carries are pretty damn squishy. You also want your AD carry bottom for dragon fights and for helping the team push lanes down, while your solo top is usually some bigfuck bruiser who can split push npnp. There are straight up counters to AD carry/support bottom too but no one ever runs them. It's probably because people haven't played around with team comps enough to find one that's better than what we currently have and while you could just straight up run counter lanes you'd still need a team that can build into late game especially when you consider that the enemy team can just lane swap if the lanes are super unfavorable. edit: I'm not saying Graves is Irelia counter btw. I don't play Irelia, so I really don't know. I just know that lots of AD carries can beat a lot (but not all) bruisers in solo lanes. | ||

You just open something like boots 5 and stay away until you can lasthit at tower and heal up etc. after tabi and wriggles the graves is screwed, irelia's one of the best champions to have vs ranged because she has a great gapcloser | ||

They both work at Riot, therefore you being a friend with a Rioter automatically means that you are a 'friend's friend' of all of them...? | ||

If they did scale exp enough that you'd get the same total at, say, 7 minutes you'd end up drastically empowering farming junglers because thereafter the jungle would grant at least 75% more exp than it does currently. I don't think "fixing" level 2 ganking is worth the consequences of nearly doubling the exp value of the jungle past 8 minutes. | ||

Make it so that, while you can still leash, you will be at a disadvantage in lane/levels if you leash, offset by the faster/safer jungle. Right now there's no penalty for leashing. Solves bot lane taking camps too. This along with the first three small camps giving slightly more exp could be quite good actually | ||

Bad matchups are never an excuse for dying. Bad matchups means you lose farm, and have to bluepill. If you stay and die, it's because you misplayed.

How do you adjust the XP scaling in such away that it affects all junglers in a uniform manner? On March 16 2012 01:39 Sandster wrote: Honestly they need to just change when jungle camp spawn.

That just fucks over junglers in solo queue. No laner will ever make a sacrifice like that for their jungler if it means they start off worse in lane even if it's the "right" thing to do. That said, pushing up small camps to spawn at the same time as buff camps (so that you can't finish both with help) might work. | ||

The problem is that camp scaling isn't static--it happens when the camp gets cleared. Which means that scaling mechanics either punish slower junglers even harder than they already do, or you have to start convoluting the banking mechanics really hard adjusting the bank rate/cap as the game progresses--which makes the mechanic in turn more inaccessible for newer players. | ||
