The Possibilities - The Town Portal Scroll

We all know about the item, and many of the beginners in Dota 2 find it a waste of 135 gold that could be spent on another 2 Iron Branches. But, this is most definitely not the case. One of the best items in the game is the Town Portal Scroll.

When in a fight, its always a good idea to have mobility. When you consider the size of the map, its a large liability to not be able to help your carry that's getting ganked top, or to assist your offlaner on an aggressive push against your tower. To solve this problem, we buy a TP scroll. The scroll is a once-off use item that teleports you to any friendly structure. You can use it to TP back to your base, or more importantly, to aide your allies near a tower.

Now, I know that it uses up a valuable item slot, and you might ask yourself, why buy this 135 gold item that I might use, while I could keep it, and be nearer to my 1100 gold Vitality Booster.

Take a car tracking system. Its purpose is to provide you with the ability to track your vehicle if it is stolen. This system costs extra money, money which you could have used on a better radio for your car. Yes, you probably won't need the tracker often. Yes, it might feel like a waste of money if your car doesn't get stolen for years.

BUT. If the car gets stolen, then you'll be glad to have it won't you?

I feel its the same with a TP scroll. You don't need it THAT often (though I think you'll use it more often than a tracker in a car lol). But, when you need it, you're glad that you had it so that your team could counter gank the enemy effectively.

That's all I'll say about TP scrolls in my post. If you want more info, please check out my guide, here, to find out more detailed info on using the Town Portal Scroll.
