youre right. an average tri can leave the offlaner with 0 xp if hes really bad. also they can get kills
a good offlaner will get xp at least from denies against a good tri.
If the trilane does it work then yes the carry should have more xp. Supports in a trilane should try to leech as little as possible from the carry (for solo xp) and keep the offlaner zoned out.
Supports should not always pull though. A carry should be able to control his lane too by damaging both enemy and allied creeps so the lane stays close to his own tower, but not close enough for the tower to attack the creeps.
But if the same level of lane control can be achieved by either early denying by your carry or by pulling by the supports, why not let them pull almost constantly? It gives good experience and gold to the ever underfarmed and underleveled supports.
If the trilane is good, offlaner get 0 xp (unless brood, lich, enigma ofc)

I was in a game the other day and put forth the idea that, if both teams are good, the hard carry in the trilane would get more experience than that team's offlaner. I was immediately ridiculed and muted by my team, since they didn't want "stupid people" talking. However, this seems right. If the opposing trilane is good, at best your offlaner will get half of the experience per wave (denies) and probably less since he will be zoned out and they will be pulling. In your trilane, one of the supports shouldn't be in lane for the most part, jungling if possible, stacking and pulling, putting pressure on the other team's mid, etc, and the other should be zoning out the offlaner, sometimes to far away from the creeps to get xp. Thus it would seem like the hard carry gets more xp and gold than the offlaner. Is this true? I haven't been able to tell one way or the other definitively from my games alone.
Thanks.
