Borderlands (Secure) - Mid Camping

So the light teleporters that take you to mid.
I didn't know those could be camped.
Kept getting graped by one of the other teams killing everyone landing in mid.
Animation lock prevents you from being able to do anything about it.
Seems to be unfair to give the other team free kills like that.

You have 5s of invulnerability after taking teleporters. Run to the middle toward where your team supposedly is and ignore whoever is camping. If for some reason all of your team is coming from the porter, then your team suddenly has a huge advantage against campers due to the invuln timer and will overwhelm them to death. If for some reason your team isn't mid when you port up, then that's a situational awareness issue.

I got a really dumb question... is it possible for me to use that 5s to jump off and survive. I feel like I will most likely be dead but doesn't hurt asking.

I haven't tried but if it's anything like class invuln skills then no, it wouldn't prevent you to die from fall damage (true damage, green star damage type icon).

You need to pay attention to his words, he mentioned "animation lock"
It’s not camping, he just got outplayed by a smart Monk.
He probably chased a low HP Monk into a teleport, then got hit by Meteodrive followed by Wind’s Reply straight off the cliff.
No team would be dumb enough to camp another team at the teleporter knowing they would have a 5 seconds invulnerability window.

You have quite the imaginative presumptions.

No, I landed through the teleporter (not chasing anyone) and group of about 20 people were standing there. I didn't even get to step off the pad before I was jumped. I didn't get knocked off the cliff, I got splattered where I was standing.
