The problem with 1 portal is that it's contrary of what POE 2 was supposed to be: A game that rewards you for not doing 1 hit clear screen builds. 1 portal means that you NEED to play DPS builds in order to succeed. The same can be said with honour points.

That's a weird argument. Firstly, you don't need screen-wide super DPS builds to fully clear the entire game AND secondly, if your build cannot succeed it cannot succeed, period. With or without 6 portals it doesn't really matter. The only thing that would be enabled then is "corpse running".

Ok, so explain to me how a Thorn build is viable with ANY of the mechanics the game have right now,

I really hate the idea of 1-portal being an "option" via atlas passives or other means.

I think its crucial to what makes PoE 2 the game that it is. Even adding a single additional portal completely removes the, what I like to call, "One portal effect" that has PoE 2 endgame in its clutches.

Here's how I might describe what I'm talking about using familiar mechanics: imagine you have a boss fight like Sirus. He creates his black whirlpools of death. BUT....you can either spec into a passive point to remove them, or by default the black whirlpools don't exist and you can ADD them for additional rewards. This would completely and irreparably damage the core of the Sirus fight for the GAME. Doesn't really even matter if SOME like it or not.

This is how I feel about making something so important as 1-portal an opt-in choice. It fundamentally changes how the game operates from a base state, and that's NOT what we want. PoE 2, despite the overlap, is NOT PoE 1. Having only a single portal is a major part of that new identity.
