    Would make playing turretless engineer more fun than just whacking people with a pick. You can place a couple teleporters down for a quick escape, or get behind an enemy to knock them off a cliff or something.

    Maybe make it that if the teleporters are within 15 blocks of one another, it's instant-teleport with a 3-second cooldown instead of a 3-second warmup?

    Also it'd be useful if you could remotely remove structures, maybe by right-clicking if the structure is already placed.

    What if its a second per 15 blocks or something like that? That'd mean to teleport across the whole map it'd take some time, but just to teleport a tiny bit it'd not take that long.

    Engineer could still do with more to fix it (such as making the turret do less damage, and fixing the really OP spots), but it'd be a good change.

    I suppose that could work too! Though there'd have to be cap on it somehow, maybe maximum of 5 seconds.

    I don't think a cap would be needed. If the wait time is long then it'd encourage Engineers not to build stuff on the other side of the map.

    Engineer is balanced but its annoying to deal with, especially when its on your side of the map. If the wait time was really high, less and less Engineers would build turrets on the enemy's half of the map.

    Would it though? I feel like engis would just set up there anyway and not care too much about others teleporting in: it bothers teammates, not the engi. It isn't like having teammates is a crucial part of playing engi, the turret can handle most things itself.

    This is way to op...If the engineer could teleport away immediately then he would never die

    Will it work if you have the flag?

    It's only in close proximity.

    @iMuffles , how about, engineer has a pair of short range teleporters, working the way you described, and a pair of normal teleporters, working the way they are now.

    It wouldn't make a massive difference. 15 blocks away isn't even headshotable, a distance classes like ninja, assassin, archer, and even mage can cover exceptionally well.

    It has a three second cool down, so an engineer can't spam it. 15 blocks isn't exactly a long ways away
