I have been doing some solo test runs of 1-6 in the jungle and i'm coming up with some weird scaling numbers.

Xin Zhao
Levels 1 - 4
Wolves->Blue->Wraiths->Golems->Red->Wraiths 4:17 seconds
Level 4-6
Wolves->Golems->Wraiths
Wolves->Golems->Wraiths 6:58

Warwick
Levels 1-4
Wolves->Blue->Wraiths->Golems->Red->Wraiths 4:06 seconds
Level 4-6
Wolves->Golems->Wraiths
Wolves->Golems->Wraiths
Wolves->Golems 7:41

I'm uploading videos of each clear to Youtube now but each run is exactly the same and only off by a few seconds yet Warwick had to clear 2 extra camps to hit the same level.
Doesn't make sense. Even in the video when doing the Warwick run I hit B at the wraith camp thinking I would level just like Xin but I didn't.

Xin gained XP from mid minion wave.

Link fixed. Sorry had embedding disabled on youtube.

That is incredibly flawed - you shouldn't be able to level up faster by clearing camps more slowly. Just to confirm though, you weren't running XP masteries, runes, or had a Zilean in that game - right?

Did you account for the experience xin zhao gained from the minions in mid? Not sure how much of an impact that might have been, it happens around 5:20, you can see him getting exp without killing the wraiths and while he's walking to wolves

Yep, same masteries, similar runes.

Nope, I didn't see this. Was it a large amount? 3 camps worth? That would explain it though.

Just watched it the minion wave under tower in any season like that yielded an exp lead~ Lol

Well... WW gained some too (still a bit less), so maybe the early reward scaling really is too aggressive...

Xin gained a metric ****ton of experience from mid. He was even gaining some while still in the wraith camp before he actually tried to walk across mid. This is why xin lvld faster.
