Experience Bounties

  • For Reference: Whenever you score a kill on a champion, you gain a percentage of the total experience required for the slain champion to advanced to their next level. This is regardless of their current progress toward the level. As of V5.22, the base percentage is 60% and is modified by 7% per level difference, earning you less experience versus lower levelled champions with a minimum of 20%. When multiple champions are involved, the amount of experience you earn is modified so that you each gain a proportional share (e.g. 50% for a two-man takedown) - although the amount of experience each champion earns is based on their own level differences. For example, it requires 280 experience to go from level 1 to level 2 - scoring a kill one your own at level 1 versus a level 1 enemy would grant you 168 experience.
