With All Due Respect Jonathan I Completely Disagree With Your 1 Portal Decision

I don't usually post on the forums. But when I do, it's to complain about the 1 portal mechanic...

Jokes aside. I spent my evening tonight trying to do citadels. Hours of prep time to path to the towers, juice up the region etc. etc. Cleared all the trash, and Jamanra one shot me within the first 5 seconds through my 18k ES. Maybe it was a lucky autoattack crit, maybe it was a special ability, maybe it was some modifier he had on. Who knows? Not me, because 1 portal. Preptime down the drain.
Had a Doriyani citadel nearby, pathed quickly, ignored towers, was frustrated just wanted to get something out of my gaming session. Played pretty good, did some mechanics, but apparently I had forgotten his telegraph for the spinning robot red lightning and bam, hit me right in the face and I died. Hey at least I learned something! Too bad I'll probably forget it by the time I get to attempt that fight again...

1 portal on generic maps is more tolerable. Sure it sucks when you get one shot, body blocked or god forbid break your 100% focus for 1 sec, but the loss is bearable.

tl;dr

I'm a floppy softcore player that dies and if I had the option I'd choose having 6 portals.

I am ok with 1 portal. It hurts sometimes but just once in a few days.

If I want 6 portals I just login poe1. I actually did that a couple of times this month.
