There have been many discussions about bluepill, and it always seems to be coming from the newer members of the community. After a while, you realise that you can't avoid most ganks with bluepill, and it isn't an instant teleport back to base. It is a very good ability, which speeds up the game and actually promotes ganking. How you ask? It's simple! It allows you to heal up, and get your items faster so you are stronger faster so you can go kill apposing champions sooner!

I actually really enjoy the blue pill coming from being a dota player it saves the trouble of running back but its a long enough cast to not make it super amazing you can't really escape danger with it as any thing stops it vs something like boots of travel where only stun stopped it

blue pill is amazing, imo it still takes too long to move around the map and buy items. one thing dota has is the chicken. it allows you to stay in the field and get items... so you can go from lane to lane ganking.

in LoL you generally HAVE to go back to base if the gank didn't go perfectly (they rarely do), which means you also HAVE to run back to a lane... it takes a bit too long. Really, one thing DotA has on LoL is map control with shops / runes. I know the runes are being implemented... but the 1/2 shops REALLY needs to be put in to speed up / create some fun group battles for shopping privileges.

Agreed Froho. I actually hated your threads so much, but once you switched over man I knew blue pill was something that had to stay the same.
