Portal Timing/Placements and Teammates
Sup yall. This is my first post here and I joined cause I’m curious about how teammates react to your portals.
So yesterday I was playing a comp match on the spider islands map and it was our turn to attack. We couldn’t get past the flight of stairs before you turn the corner and we were down to 40 seconds left. I had just died so I was back in spawn, I looked around and saw two other teammates also respawning so I figured I should portal. It would take about 5ish seconds to walk to cart and if I did die again, it would take 10 seconds to respawn. So i assumed it would be to much of a risk to think I would have another shot to portal. Better be safe than sorry. One of my teammates proceeds to unmute and says “Why are we wasting our portal?” Surprisingly I’m able to bite my tongue and not say anything. Then we are able to capture the first point almost immediately after the portal.
So I guess my question is how often do yall get small comments like that questioning your portals? I usually like placing my portals low to the ground and facing away from the enemy so we can jump in and not be shot at. I understand that not every single one of my portals will be perfect and I will in fact mess some up but I am curious on your guys input on the situation above. Also I feel like a lot of times some teammates believe that a portal equals a fight win. Sometimes the enemy team does a great job defending the portal.
I play on PS5 and my current rank is D1. Maybe that matters when it comes to interactions lmao. I’m also a lord strange and I just got the warrior badge.
Also feel free to comment any portal tips or even explain why portal might’ve not been the best decision. I’m very open to learning. Thanks I’m advance!
