Die at the wrong moment and you can dump a chunk of gold to teleport back to life immediately rather than sitting dead for 60-plus seconds. Wins games when you buy back to defend the throne — loses them when you waste it early.

People Also Ask
Why not just always buy back?
It costs a lot of gold and puts your respawn timer and future buyback on a penalty. Burn it at the wrong time and you're broke and exposed.
