Discussion with my friend: He plays carry. We get the first blood mid near first bounty rune.
He leaves the fight on 100 hp and decides to suicide himself to the enemy tower or Pos 4/5 to get back to his lane quicker and regenerated.

Is this the correct play?

    Absolutely the correct play. That early in the game, the death gold bounty is about 150-200 gold, divided across all enemies if there’s no enemy hero who last hit. That’s approximately a creep’s worth of gold or less, which is negligible.

    By suiciding, you come back with full resources, you don’t play scared because you’re low on hp/mana, you don’t waste regen items needlessly, and you don’t flirt with dying and easily giving your enemy gold and exp.

    1 thing to keep in mind though that you want to make sure no one is close to get exp when you suicide. Otherwise, it’s hardly worth, just tango up to full and ferry out more

    Yes it’s definitely the right play, but people should have in mind that suiciding to neutrals is never worth it since the respawn timer is so much higher. Always suicide on towers when there are no enemy heroes in XP range, so in most cases the T2 tower.

    if you laning with low hp .thats make you cant last hit because you will scared of enemy. thats why carry should have a salve in the lane. its crazy till now carry rarely have salve and stay with tangos when only have 150 hp on lane . dont even dare walking to creep wave.

    It’s the correct play but try your best to not give anyone a kill. It’s way bettee to go the long way and suicide to tier 2 and spit bounty and less exp overall

    Yes

    First blood gives a fair amount of extra gold so a 1-1 score is a net benefit to whoever got the first blood.

    The regen the HP and MP that were spent for a first blood is likely to cost ~150g, which is basically a whole wave + a trip for a level1 courier that is easily sniped. By giving the enemy support the bounty and getting a free TP for getting killed, the enemy can at best get some extra regen but the carry does not need to pay the regen cost. The exp on level1 kill is negligible.

    The biggest issue of suiciding at level1 is that it worsens KDA and that depending on your skill bracket, your team will criticize you for doing so.
