    The goal of the 'Match Overview' page is to provide a quick and readable summary of statistics to the user.
    The 'basic, non-plus' overview includes various stats such as K/D/A, Networth, XMP/GPM and so on, and it is obvious that some information will end up being more valuable (or desirable) to the users.

    The reason for including the 'difference in experience gained / minute' graph in the match overview is to give the stats some depth (time) allowing the user see how the match progressed and supposingly show who had the advantage.

    And while it is definitely a solid indicator for early game (first 15 mins), there is always a time where "DIFFERENCE IN EXP EARNED PER MINUTE' isn't as valuable in showing the advantage as opposed to "% DIFFERENCE IN NETWORTH PER MINUTE", because EXPERIENCE starts losing value after level 15-16 and becomes pretty much irrelevant @20-25.
    On the other hand NETWORTH becomes more important at later stages of the game AND is more meaningful in showing which team had the advantege; it's not the experience that decides the fights 40 minutes into the game (it's the items...cough.. networth), neither does experience fluctuate when towers/rax are pushed.

    Did that make sense?
    I saw this today @trackdota and thought that it's important enough to be a part of the current match overview page; it's surely more useful than the single current graph you guys have.

        experience doesnt decide the fights, but it perfectly reflects fights' results and map control, so it should be fine
