One of the most important guides that will be on this Patreon! Make sure to watch this one all the way through. All you need to know about experience, soaking, and macro in this video! Feel free to drop any questions in the comments section of this video.

One thing I forgot to mention is the Minutes are lined up with what your hero level should be at that time in the game, so at Minute 0 you are around level 1. At Minute 5 you are usually around level 8(assuming a 3 lane map).

cool guide, thanks Fan

GREAT video! Is there a designated link for this excel spreadsheet, similar to your hero tier list? No worries either way, since a screenshot does the job easily too.

Good stuff, was wondering about the amount of xp you get from buildings? destroying a tower, forts, keeps and the passive xp they give?

fanhots

Yeah, I might update the sheet with buildings and share again sometime in the future. Towers are around 400exp I believe, with keep towers being more valuable. Forts and keeps give passive xp trickle after they die.

fanhots

I'll try to share either a link or an updated picture of the whole thing later on once I finish adding some stuff to the spreadsheet!

Another part to consider, but harder to put numbers on, is when you miss a wave of soak to take a Samurai and your opponent doesn't for example. They will take it at some point and if they manage to not miss a wave of soak for it (because they are higher level and clear faster or just team more aware), you'll lose back the exp advantage you got.

fanhots

Yep, same concept applies with lots of other stuff, such as cheesing a tower level 1 with sylvanas. Cheese tower for exp and die, your opponents can get the exp back eventually by killing your tower, but no guarentee you get the kill exp back.

Great guide! How do things change after reaching lvl20? Is there a shift towards 'a kill can end the game so deathball' or at least towards 'soak but make sure to always teamfight as 5' or is there more finess to this topic aswell? :)

fanhots

Yeah after level 20 soaking doesn't matter anymore. You definitely want to be grouped most of the time after level 20 because 1 pick can end the game. Occasionally some safe heroes can be split for other reasons (split pushing if its safe or just pushing out waves for more vision, after 20 its not for exp)

Love the vids - thank you! Following up, any update on an updated spreadsheet?

fanhots

Yeah should be coming up in the next week or so, not too much to add just values for towers, forts and keeps always just give trickle passive exp

Jason Fontaine

Dude you're an incredible educator

gloreau.art

Learned a lot, but we do have also to take account of objectives XP and structure dmgs right ? Like maybe I will get more XP soaking but the objectives gonna make more important structure dmgs ?

Do you have the numbers for Volskaya? Very instructive video, thx fan

fanhots

Volskaya turret and heal camp should be very similar or same to hanamura turret and samurai. The siege camp should be similar to giants. You can always make a volskaya custom game and clear the camps at 1 minute to double check the exact values as well!
