How I feel when trying to click bard glitchy portal entrance

Hey guys, bard player here (he is very good but only if your teammates know how to work with him). I originally had the same problem, but I noticed it was always because I tried clicking on the "entrance ring" of the portal. DONT DO THIS. You can right click ANYWHERE on the length of the portal, and you will take it. This is a GOOD thing, because it allows you to walk along the wall near the portal entrance without taking it if you do not want to. It is pretty simple. Here is a screenshot, you can click anywhere in between the red lines to take the portal.

"Is this the Bard portal?"

That pretty much sums it up.

I ganked for bard yesterday.. He threw the portal and I went to click on it.... I spent a good 3-4 seconds failing and by the time I got in, it was too late.

+1

Experienced with a Bard on the enemy team. It took me about 2 seconds to get through the Portal, but of course Bard was gone by then. I really hope Riot works out the kinks.

I've been playing a ton of bard and haven't seen a problem yet.. then again I've never tried to click ON it, I click in it, like I'm moving into the wall

Portal should actually be clickable, like a tower, to send you through. Not just click randomly on the ground under it somewhere and hope you got the right spot.

Just got killed at the enemy nexus in a bot game of all things because I used the magical journey on the enemy nexus and fumbled around for 5 seconds trying to get through the dang thing.

I mean it's one thing if you're playing another champion and you aren't expecting it. It's another kind of incompetence altogether when you can't even use the doorway you made.

portal acts like a hallway, not a doorway

walk INTO it like it was an open space

stop clicking on edges that aren't there

remember, be the wall

I just click a little bit into the tunnel, near the entrance, like I am walking through it. Works fine with me. I make my friend play support a bunch for the troll tunnels and the free

There's also a bug where if you die right before you entered the portal, you'd be in his running animation while dead.

My first game I was having horrible difficulty as Bard going through his portal. I died no less than three times attempting to click on the entrance. The next game, on a whim, I clicked on the tunnel itself. Clicking anywhere on the massive tunnel should move your champion to it's entrance(I believe) and port you through without hassle. Since learning said "click-on-the-tunnel" trick, I'm rarely caught if I have the ability off cooldown. I implore everybody to use this method from now on for more enjoyable experiences with you and your Snuggle Tree.

The portal isn't so much "glitchy" more that it's control scheme isn't very intuitive.

You need to click near the END of the portal to go through it with ease, not the entrance to the portal.

This made me lol, its needs a indicator like Thresh's lantern it is painful cause sometimes it works and other time it fails badly.

you don't click on it you walk through it...

Agreed, it's hard to click, I wanted to use a prtal in a dire situation, died because it only worked after the 3rd click... when I had ignite over my head.

Guess im the only one who DOES NOT have a problem with the portals :P

AS BARD I laid down the portal and I had a hard time taking it, an enemy darius took the portal to a gank I wanted to go to, and still I couldn't take it

it would be so much better ya

This is a very accurate representation, Patrick saves the day again

I feel there needs to be more clarity on where to click to go through the portal. There's been a few times when there was one set up and I think "Oh the entire enemy team is on the other side I'll take the next train." Then somehow I end up going through it...the ride is just long enough to think about of a name for where you're going. I go with Bad Touch Town a lot.

I've had similar experiences. Even accidentally went through a portal I didn't want to use because I happened to click near to the entrance. Another time I clicked about 20 times on the damn thing and it wouldn't work. It eventually despawned and I was left out of a team fight. Portals are glitchy as hell.

If you click anywhere on the portal except for the ring, you will enter. Its strange, but thats how it is.
