Has anyone tried this favor item with Da yet? I was wondering would it work or not. I like many of DA warping abilities, but I was disappointed he lacked any form of free movement warp like LE or OC. So I was wondering to make up for this has any==one tried this favor item with me or any other teleport items?
All the amulet of teleportation does for you is give you a free tp scroll every once in a while. Even if you use 10 scrolls in one game, you will only save 2500 gold, whereas an item like the staff of renewal is worth a lot more. (Even the magical coin purse would save you more with the new 15% discount.) The only reason I would use it is if you know you need to teleport often AND you need an extra consumable slot that the tp scroll would normally take (i.e. you want capture locks, a wand of speed, and a sigil)
well it is super-useful late game since it gives you an extra consumable slot... Wand of Speed or Orb of Defiance (+500 HP and Armor) makes it marginally better than Blood while also giving the 5 seconds of invulnerability (nice if you 1v1 and they sigil since you burn a quarter of a sigil's duration for 'free'). I dunno if you would "even if" use 10 scrolls. It's more like "when". I tend to buy 2 ports every second shop, 3 every one after that. And I'm /pretty sure/ I shop at least 4 times a game though not much more than that. Once at WS3 for Currency (no ports then), one time around level 8-9, once for catapults then defending portals or buying more sigils etc etc
It's nice if you are currency bitch since you are already gimped in terms of $ (though Blood is typically best for currency bitch).
That said, the only time I would seriously consider getting amulet is if there is a tower rook on my team. Having a port beginning with level 1 is nice. Also remember that it does help you maximize your levels since you only ever have to walk one way to base. Etc Etc.
That said, it is quite a weak favor item early game. Keep that in mind. Anyone with BotF will rape your face until the ganking/farming/teleporting manages to pay itself off.
The reason most people don't use it is that almost every game is decided before the amulet of teleportation reaches its true potential.
I also don't like how the cooldown is longer than that of a scroll. Lame.
It is not the best item... but you can make use of it well for dominate game mode and early teleganks.
You will be pushed out of your lane early... so you are hugging towers and capping unattended flags for XP.
Stack life so no early mana item, so play a low mana build.
You should still buy TP scrolls using this.
@ Orion - Why would you buy both TP scrolls and use Amulet? I'm not sure about in v1.2 (I haven't used it in a while), but prior to that using one or the other would set the cooldown timer going for both items. Seems pointless to buy the TP scrolls with Amulet.
Also, the only early game usefulness with Amulet I've seen is on QoT or Sedna in a minimum 3v3 game where they can bounce back and forth to easily support multiple lanes.
I've seen a beast use it to good effect on Lev. But just once. And a long time ago.
Oh, and you asked how well would it work on the demon assassin? Quite terribly I think. He's too squishy and mana dependent to worry about mobility. He should get something that corrects his problems like blood of the fallen or essence of magic. Or blood of the fallen. Oh hey, what about blood of the fallen. 
The only demigod that really could use it is the rook because he should need a lot of teleports so he doesn't have to walk around a lot. I still think it's a crappy favor item. It will save you about as much money as the coin purse with the benefit of an extra consumable slot, though it is on a longer cooldown.
I agree. I'd think it would be pretty difficult to pull off a good da with the amulet of TP. I typically play my tower rook with amulet of TP, but that's pretty much the only character I use it on.
What if you gave it a cloak of night style effect? Maybe deal 200 damage in a pretty big aura to enemies near the location you teleport to. (This would make it good for defending towers) They should reduce the cooldown as well.
Just tossing it out there:
What if it had half the range of snipe (or whatever range) and it was a warp to location. Still has a cast time and still leaves the teleport alert, but it would make it work differently then the scrolls and would be a hell of a lot more useful.
it would make it work differently then the scrolls and would be a hell of a lot more useful.
You can say that again. Imagine an oak starting with shield I, teleporting directly to your portal flag, shielding, and then locking it.
He could just walk up anyway. He's Oak. This just saves him some time.
No hes right, that would be OP. Just think about an UB suddenly surprise buttsexing you from 45 range. Oh god Rook...
Lol!
Ok, it's a little overboard. Would be a fun mod though. haha.
Because the timer is too high for a base trip.
eg: Use Amulet, than TP with scroll. It is 15 seconds difference. Also getting amulet interrupted sucks when you need to be somewhere.
Of course this is thinking of rook, 15 seconds is important to tend your tower farm.
i use amulet of TP when im oak on leviathan.
simply because oak is weak early game, this allows me to be the flag whore at first without wasting all that cash.
and teleporting in to pwn with penitence is just too good to pass up. im not down with all this hating on the tp ammy.

The gameplay is kind of unsatisfying in regards to favor. In the beginning of the game health is the only thing that really matters. mana is important too, but there are no decent mana items other than BotS, and even so 800 health and regen is just too good. The beginning of the game is so important too, generally whichever team backs up first loses because their towers take a beating or they can't recapture the all important health flag. I swear, when I see 2 of my teammates to the mana flag I just want to hit the concede button right off the bat.
Yeah. The BotF crutch. If it gets nerfed, so many people will suck at this game.
Mark my words. You think people suck and feed now? Wait to see what happens if BotF gets nerfed/removed
