It's a worthless item that nobody should ever buy and it's completely irrelevant that they removed it.

It promoted an incredibly frustrating playstyle (for both teams none the less), I for one am glad to see *****zilla's Blessing removed and I hope it finds a nice place to DIE IN A TIRE FIRE.

Having Priscillas makes the difference in neutralizing and not neutralizing the cap. You can't get the entire cap, but you can neutralize it and run away and they'll be forced to come deal with you and recap the point. If you stay there for capping the entire tower and you know they're coming for you (example: Teemo's/Rammus) then you end up feeding their team.

The item promoted a terrible playstyle though which forced your teammates into a 4v5 and with bad team comps in randoms, it usually makes it very bad, especially when they don't have a BD and have all 5 members available to them. With an average of about 10.5k in gold, BD's never had the items to actually be viable in a fight.

i say good riddance. people who backdoor on my team never took it. the opposite was true for the opposing team.

;_;

I wouldnt say it was game breaking but it was rather poor for the stats and promoted bad gameplay. Good riddance.

Priscilla's Blessing was a bad item.

The stats it gave were bad except for the capture bonus so it was basically only used for BD'ing. In fact, once you bought it you were down 1600 gold compared to anyone you were fighting so at that point all you could do was backdoor.

Not only did this make it a n00b trap but it promoted a style of play that was unfun to play against and backfired more often than it succeeded (in my experience).

Priscilla's encouraged BDing. You put that on a Rammus, Eve, Twitch, or Shaco, and you've got someone who can cap (or at least neutralize) almost any point that isn't being actively guarded. Backdooring is a playstyle that encourages people to do exactly the sort of thing you DON'T want to see in this sort of game-- either sit on points and never, ever leave because you know someone will fly along and neutralize the thing literally before anyone can get there, OR every game has a Shaco and Heimer on both teams so that backdooring is impossible. Priscilla's encourages a brute force approach-- there's no personal skill at all required to execute a backdoor with it (there wasn't to begin with, but at least without priscilla's BDing was less likely to succeed).
