For ppl who feel like not seeing that many Telestos: Don't know where you are and whether you have played PvP recently or not, but from what I've been getting, every match starts with at least one Telesto on both sides, especially when in comp and playing against stacked teams (thanks Bungie) more Telestos would pop out. It's turning into Graviton 2.0 atm. For ppl who thinks shotgun is worse and Telesto is a help in hand: I kind of agree with you? I definitely want to see some shotgun changes to bring more varieties but, Telesto aping is worse than shotgun aping. Shotgun mostly forces a close range combat, which would alert you not going into corners without checking radar and be cautious while aiming down sight, resulting as many ways to counter them. But a few can be effective to go against Telesto. It's a regular range rifle that can be fired at any occasion. You expected a gunfight that test your skills, but instead you got killed by someone who aim at your feet plus nearly 0 explosion Latency. You eithet have Luna's Howl / Not forgotten & you shot first & you landed 3 precision perfectly, or you switch to Telesto as well, which I see a lot ppl do in the middle of the match. For ppl who get angry for some reason: [spoiler]This is just an opinion.[/spoiler] Before Edit: Crucible is full of Wardcliff and Telesto right now, even if I can deal with Wardcliff users since heavy ammo is a objective that can be controlled, I can't beat Telesto. Even if you did beat Telesto they just respawns with 2 more rounds to screw you then pick 2-3 more that you just dropped, there's not a proper counter-measure except to take out another Telesto and turn into the evil you never wanted to be. But making Telesto a power weapon will change that, it's already a alt version of 1000 Voices if you'd say, why not keep it in the same slot that 1000 Voices stays? And by doing so, nobody will suffer the struggle with every match starts with Telestos' rain of hell. And players will have to choose either Telesto or Wardcliff to be their power slot, leaving energy slot for other weapons or fusions that requires actual skill in pace. It's not the best solution I guess, but it's better than just nerfing Telesto into garbage. Give it some buffs even (damage / charge time & range) if it's gonna be a heavy.
