Dane stands on his teleporters regularly because he's the type of guy who likes to live life on the edge.

[@UncleDane]

It's entirely because it's WAY more likely that you'll get back-stabbed than it is to get randomly telefragged. I'd rather stand on top of a teleporter exit with my back facing a wall than stand facing the teleporter exit with my back exposed. Also I'm a thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie, yep.

[@guscox9651]

Build the teleporter an engi's distance away from the wall. Then you can upgrade with your back against the wall and you won't get telefragged. Poggerdogger'd

[@ScwJGX]

@@guscox9651 but then the tele is easier for spies to backstab camp

[@ThePootisPower24]

Gus Cox further away from a wall = easier to spot by someone rounding a corner and is easier to shoot at. Think of it as “if it’s exactly next to the wall, you have to get around/past the wall or cornerpeek the wall, if it’s a bit away from the wall you can shoot around the wall from a position behind the wall without corner peeking/hugging the wall.

[@LucanVaris]

@@notanexpert3967 I got a couple weapon ideas as well: Death Dealer (Throwable Ace of Spades. Knife Replacement): Throwable, rechargeable. Target hit is Marked for Death. Cannot backstab. . Dead Drop (Silver Pocket Watch. Sapper Replacement): Throwable, rechargeable, cannot sap. On contact with environment, plays Dead Ringer noise. Can be thrown while cloaked.

Good points have been raised, but i also maybe a bit of... i dont think confirmation bias is the term, but like whenever you play an esoteric and usually unviable playstyle, you might assume that youll do poorly, or at least poorer compared to what your class is capable of?

[@bread5020]

What we can learn: 1. When playing gunslinger focus on other buildings such as teles and dispensers. 2. In KOTH you have 2 gameplay style which is Team Play (guarding flanks with sentry, provide dispenser and teleporters. The other being Ninjaneer putting teles in random spots behind the enemy flank and could either be a game changer or a waste of time. 3. Always pay attention to the kill board. Know when to move your buildings since the number of people alive decides the wave of battle. 4. Keep eyes on your surroundings, that cheeky spy could strike at any time.
