Discussion: Zone Plugging

[VanEyck]

I have zone plugged on exactly 2 occasions on red99, both times to escape a gank situation. I used to be very much against it, preferring to eat a death and coin loss instead of being a pussy. But now I'm not so sure and here's why.

1. Experience loss. As a casual hybrid experience is more precious than anything.

2. Ample oppurtuniies for pure casters to channel gate while under attack. If they can leave a fight, so can I.

3. Why should I die to a gank squad, wasting experience time and coin, when they could easily root me before I hit the ZL?

I no longer feel as though plugging is a cheap tactic for these reasons. Remove experience loss and nerf channelling and I probably wont resort to plugging.
