exploit or legit tactic on crucible map

I just finished playing a pantheon game on the map, crucible. I had an opponent whom was porting into our base, locking down our flag for the only respawns. I was wondering if this was an exploit in the map design or a legit tactic.

 

Apparantly the the ports were done with an item that cost around 5000gp (not sure what) and then the locking was done with an item that prevents flags from being captured.

 

cheers

no it was warpstone and flag lock most likely, a tactic that is quite smart imo, but easily counterable, wait for him and bash him, or put your own flag lock on that flag(45sec locked)

oh yeah i had never seen it before. was quite niffty. The conclusion to our match was epic. Both teams maxed with giants. Me and my teammate making a push to his base when we lost our reinforcements. We started smashing on his base just after him. Think we won with like 1200hps left on ours.

This was mentioned in the beta and I think the overall decision was that it was okay to do.  The towers near it have been changed from arrow towers to ToL's IIRC and it is preventable enough (plus you can do it to the opposing team anyway).
