As-designed vs as-is.
Big problem with implimenting something like this now
there are well over 2 dozen heroes who are designed with the idea that someone else will have more Xp contribution then them, there are MAPS designed with the idea that one person should have well over half the XP contribution of the entire flipping team.
Shared XP is built into this game period full stop.
all you’d accomplish by introducing this would be making a ton of heroes worse and a handful better while simoltainiously absolutely infuriating the people who play this game.

Vikings level 30 any% speedrun better be on speedrun.com if they ever did this, cuz holy crap if vikings xp gathering rate was 2.5x its normal amount that would be crazy.
Yes, and this is what makes HotS unique. It being Team-based is both a joy and a curse.
Joy because it encourages teamplay to win rather than 1 “good” player destroying everyone.
Curse because when Joy of teamplay is not there, there’s the other side…
So because of this design HotS has a coin-flip gameplay. Flip it and you get either side… Sometimes it lands standing and those are the matches that will require the most out of you. Those matches will put your skill to the test the most.
Soak. And make friends.
Only if they died for less xp than you soaked though.

Personally I didn’t know that games rewarded skill until now.
no really since when does being good at a game means getting better things? Damn these new age games.
</ sarcasm>
Experience gain has nothing to do with individual skill. Instead it is all about greed and selfishness. For example in DotA Allstars it is about focusing on letting your allies die while you last hit minions and preventing anyone in your lane from last hitting their own minions.
In HotS this will translate to ignoring objectives and focusing on laning 24/7 until you are so insanely over leveled you can solo the enemy team.

Yes, it is selfish, but it’s a proxy thought.
For example, earlier today I started a match with a pentakill. Great. I’m going to win this, streak is over. Also got a pretty XP advantage. Let’s hope my team keeps it together.
… They didn’t. They fed obsessively and failed every objective by engaging wrong, also Blaze tank roflmao. Blaze! Now that I review it I understand everything.
Anyway, my advantage was redistributed in communist fashion and just like the peasants fail to use wealth, so do noobs fail to capitalize on takedowns or xp. They get confident, engage, fail as they do, and all the xp advantage is gone.
It’s a repeating pattern, doing major work for the team that cannot deliver. Personal XP rewards said major work, something like Nazeebo is supposed to. Otherwise the win conditions are utterly hazy.
That’s why Orphea is my #1 hero by a margin of 200 Heroes Profile rank points. Soaking is for noobs. Sorry.
Also, Zagara players should be suspended. They are all exploiters. Also Blizzard is a troll by not hotfixing her for months. Virtually everyone is 70% winrate with her even over 50+ matches.
Ironically Orphea has a pretty good wave clear. 
Help me, Minky! Aphandra wants to ban me, because I like to win in ranked (I don’t play her in QM).

Then play other games. In HotS, no.
Some heroes are designed deliberately to be bad early on, those heroes would never get picked anymore. Varian used to be useless until level 10, they finally changed it to only being useless until level 4. Nazeebo is about useless until level 20. Butcher is a hindrance until he stacks 200 meat. The list goes on, split XP doesn’t work in HotS.

I agree with you and have always hated Storm League, but you can request solo queue for ranked in every thread but I don’t fancy your chances in getting this changed. You must know Blizz announced they have put Hots in full maintenance mode, so outside of maintaining the game client (which has had a bug for months) and the “occasional balance patch” big changes like a change to ranked isn’t likely to happen.
