Quoted from Spike Himself

[…]

Actually, last night on a pub someone managed to build a dispenser as well as a mini sentry!

Anyway, as Perm said, this is allowed. The buildings wouldn’t be hidden, so it’s not completely impossible for the opposing team to destroy them (as opposed to the gpit bug), therefore it’s not a big deal :)

My mistake, 2 things if gunslinger is used for the left gate then :p
I guess it’s a matter of space
And yes, Crouton. I definitely listed the possibilities for each spot, so that people would know if they didn’t. That I was wrong and Spike corrected me, is another thing
Anyway, I think everybody got the point.

it’s worth noting that building here is even worse than in the past (when it was also allowed)

for one, dispensers do not maintain overheals anymore, so you can’t use it to leave spawn with your team with the definite maximum amount of buff given to every team member

Also, sentrys can no longer be picked up from the inside of spawn, so you can’t pick it up and run deeper into spawn with it to avoid spam

with this in mind, when it was allowed in the past when you could do these things with no gamechanging effects, I don’t see a reason to ban it now

God damnit, didn’t know that.
Either way, the result is the same.
Near-useless spawn building

It can be used/abused(?) to build a level 3 SG when attacking, but then only idiots do that right?? ;)

If you put a teleporter entrance there can it be sapped? I’ve never used it for a tele spot (too busy building lvl3 SGs).

A level 3 sg in the tunnel while attacking is quite useful. It can rack up quite a number of kills or force the other team’s uber. You can also avoid the initial door spam by being smart and equiping the Short Circuit ;).

or you could just wrangle it and tank all the shots, repairing any damage

I might make a compilation of these jumps. They fail 99% of the time and every time they’re hillarious

well, the alternative is to build a sentry at the end of tunnel, which usually, at best gets 1-2 kills then dies. Doing this is enough of a distraction to allow other ‘real’ bombing classes to pop a medic in most cases
