The first 5 minutes aren ' t always the most importantBut they are . That ' s math . Any event that influences the game , the sooner it takes place , the greater its influence . 10 v 9 is a 10 % difference . If that takes place at the last second of game , it has almost no effect whatsoever . If it takes place at the very first second AFK then you are at a 10 % disadvantage for every move that comes after . Capping . Fighting . Maneuvering . Communicating . Think of it like soccerfootball . If you get a red card the first minute that has a tremendous effect vs . getting a red card in the last 10 seconds . You ' re playing the entire game with a man down vs . 10 seconds . If you score a goal in the first minute , the other team is instantly playing catchup just to return to parity . 1 goal isn ' t 1 goal no matter when it takes place . it will increase the xp gain too muchIt can be any amount . You haven ' t a clue how much it will increase because the metrics aren ' t in place . It may increase 0 % because no one does it . I used 2 X as an example . It can be 1 . 2 . It can be 1 . 0002 . It can be whatever it is that facilitates more exciting gameplay by rewarding it .
