Bard additional effect idea - Wall pins throw enemy through portal.

While I'm glad to see the buffs for Bard on the PBE currently, I would like to see more interaction between his abilities.

Simple idea is for Wall Pins (knockback/stuns on wall; Vayne/Poppy/Gnar, and Bard's Q as well even though its not a wall pin itself.). If Bard or an ally Wall Pins an enemy to a wall that has a portal on it, that enemy is forced through the portal to the other side.

*And while I'm here, a tip for using Bard's portal. Don't click on the portal, click behind it as if the path it created was passable terrain. *

I believe there was a discussion of this on the PBE, and the sentiment was:

"Being able to push a guy two whole screens away felt a bit too strong."

If you'll give me a second, I'll see if I can't find the ~~conversation~~ comment on the PBE Forums.

It's more of a comment, but the idea was brought up, and Bard's designer did consider it at one point.

[...] I like the style of the Binding/Journey combo idea. A long time ago, I considered having Q pull the two targets towards each other, which would have made that an even more obvious combo. On the other hand, sending someone two screens away through a wall is pretty strong CC... [...]

As long as it also permits shoving someone through the portal backward (i.e. push enemies back through portal when they follow you through) I am all for this.
