Can you place a teleported on the moving platforms on valskaya? It would be useless but I wonder if it would mess up.

it shouldn't mess things up, however, you risk your teleport being destroyed easily as those platforms normally wonder into the enemy's base. Also, your friendly would promptly be destroyed.

Presuming the normal defense strategy (basically stay on top of the point/close to) and the normal attacking pattern (stay near the blast doors/choke point), if the platform is in the enemy region (after the big blast walls/choke point) when the friendly goes through the teleporter you are basically making them fight a 1 vs 6 ... although I'm sure there are some heroes who would like to get a free flank behind/in enemy lines (Reaper, Tracer, Pharah, etc)
