portal cool down

[Lets Go Brandon]

love the game but wish there was a cool down on the portal use. 5 sec between portal use sounds about right.

Sure, want the enemy to freeze for 5-10 seconds for every shot they miss while we are at it?

you seriously think thats in any way a appropriate response? how is that in anyway comparable to a cool down on the portal gun? by adding a cool down you add a need to plan your portal perk use. adding more of a strategy to your game play.

honestly i like this idea because i was just sitting in one corner of the map and just portal camping and sniping people across the map and whn they disabled the portal another went up immediately and back to portal camping

Why not make the grenades disable portal usage for a short time if you hit a player with it
Then make it so if you're right next to a portal that gets EMP'd you take the effects.

Boom, camping eliminated and grenades get more usage.

Why not just ignore the game the devs made, remove the portals and make generic halo shooter #44

dumbest post ive read all day

Get good

Do people even know about grenades? Seems to make portal camping rather invalid, since they have to move somewhat out of their hidey hole to put their portal back up.

No. You can't nerf the main unique mechanic of the game.
5 secs is a LONG TIME. I know it doesn't sound like it, but it is.
Portal time is fine.
What they actually need to do is design better levels as most of them aren't very good.
There's like 3-4 good maps. Hopefully they can get some intense QA going on for level design as the Devs and game grow (hopefully).

You can't suggest anything portal related, or else all the campers and ♥♥♥♥ aimers will complain that its the main mechanic, even tho its almost entirely unskilled based and more so just used for cheese rather than actually playing. You're either gonna run into the its the intended mechanic type argument which u can counter by saying obviously its not since you have grenades, and then you'll have the grenade argument, which doesn't really play out because the grenade cooldowns are significantly higher than portals since portals have no cooldowns. Games pretty much full of campers and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at this point.

That would honestly be a better game

[Ghostvenger92]

ummm No? that would take away the purpose of this game, its not a ability or a power up, its part of the gameplay..... cant believe theres Karens in the gaming community especially on a F2P game

at that point just go ahead and play outriders or one of them MOBA shooter generic games like valorant
