Well it consumed me....I'm slowly turning into them and I hate it.
The telesto was one of my favorite weapons in d1.. .I loved to use it to trap and fool players into oblivion. Players back then were smart and had common sense to use it right!!!! I miss those days.....i miss it.....now in d2 it all going bat shit. People over abusing this smart weapon in comp...it hurts...it hurts like a needle....where is the planning? Where is the trapping? Instead...all I see are idiots who use it bare like a primary. Its doesnt even have good range!!! And yet people are still using it.....they ain't smart....they ain't good...all they are is scrubs....and newbs and terrible players. U be surprised those who use the telesto wrongly and foolishly are losing and failing at winning while those who use it right (bless them souls) are winning fair with genius and planning.... I swore I would never turn into a complaining wimp....but I feel like I'm becoming close....close to them.....and I hate it...I hate it.

Play chess lol it's a game that goes pew pew pew

3 RepliesI think the spread of projectiles is to close down range. That’s pretty much it. Don’t nerf it.

3 RepliesI must respectfully disagree if you can keep distance from telesto it’s really not a problem. The gun doesn’t have a lot of range so if can close the gap on someone and not get shotgunned while charging it, it seems fine to be able to one shot[spoiler]just my opinion would love to hear feedback on it[/spoiler]

2 RepliesI'd rather deal with a telesto than a high-ranged shotgun. Being honest, fusion rifles suck in PVP right now and this is the reason everyone is running telesto.

1 ReplyBreathe. Cheap play will usually infuriate anyone. I judge thee not for venting lol.

2 RepliesEdited by ELRaSun: 11/4/2018 10:19:09 PMI was using Telesto since the beginning, when people were saying it sucked. Telesto or Crimson. Destiny 2 has 3 problems that will always make “some” gun rise into the slot of hatred. 1) Most Guns do not actually perform to their stats. Most Shotguns overperform in range. Antiope class SMGs do too. While Most scouts underperform in impact, esp high impact slow firing. Most fusions underperform in range due to unreliable spread. Etc etc. Crimson, for example, underperforms for its stats. It’s about 1 burst weaker than it should be. 2) Most of the maps are godawful when applied to 6v6. 3) Hit Registration is extremely RNG. There are others but these are the main. To make it worse, Bungie PURPOSELY leaned into the Shotgun metta. They created perks specifically to reward Shotgun aping — and those perks purposely further break the range stat. People out here One Hit Killing supers with Chaperone — Bungie did that on purpose. And it really kills it for Scouts, Snipers, etc. Think about all the weapons people have hated up until now... Graviton - Zero Damage Dropoff. Sleeper - Zero Damage Dropoff, huge hit box size, extreme aim assist. Queensbreaker - Zero Damage Dropoff, even bigger hit box, even more aim assist, PLUS Blinding. Just to name a few. These all ultimately come down to RANGE. Range + Map Design grossly disadvantage scouts, fusion rifles, and snipers. Pulses are happy medium. But not everybody wants to run Inaugural Address. Sidearms are a counter. But only if you have the play-style for them. Telesto on the other hand is right in the middle. What “Truth” was to rocket launchers, Telesto is to fusion rifles. It fixes the problem that holds back Fusions by allowing you to use TIMING and intelligently pre-fire. This is significantly more difficult when an Ape is already running you down. Charge time is too slow, and it’s too late to switch to a primary unless they’re dumb enough to commit from way far away. If Destiny stats actually meant something, AND there was actually a Build and Loadout mini-game where you could spec for dealing with Apes, this wouldn’t even be a problem. But, there isn’t. And unless you’re a titan, you are roll-limited to how high you can spec for resilience — which only helps a Little bit. In short, Telesto isn’t the problem. The shallow nature of the ecosystem it’s in, is the problem.

1 ReplyYeah, you're a real hero.
-
1 ReplyNobody would ever use the gun for any activity ever again unless they also gave it some 1k Voices level stupid damage.
-
1 ReplyYou also cant spawn without being shotgun blasted...and shotgun are more of a problem.
-
2 RepliesIt is powerful but instead of nerfing immediately, buff autos, smgs, and scouts. I feel that would make things better than a nerf
-
1 ReplyHow about a change that doesn't affect pve?
-
7 RepliesNope, don’t agree with you.
-
3 RepliesI don't like you opinion and I believe you're wrong about Telesto's power. You have summoned me.
-
1 ReplyLet me get this straight... You are saying that for competitive pvps sake, that a fusion rifle should be moved to the power slot? Thats seriously the best solution you can think of? Hmm. I think to fix the situation, they should just remove the competitive playlist.

1 ReplyEdited by Ceryncross: 11/3/2018 10:59:31 PM[quote]ITS MY MY OPINION!!! DONT LIKE? DONT RESPOND.[/quote] It's called debate, friend. If you don't like a response, ignore it. Either way, just learn how to counter a Telesto, or avoid the shots. I haven't used Telesto in a long time, but it does seem fun.

1 ReplyWhile we are at it why not move shotguns and snipers back to the heavy slot.
-
3 RepliesI agree about Telesto being molesto, but I don’t think bungie should nerf it. I’ve gotten spawn killed many a time by the molesto and I feel like bungie needs to fix spawn locations rather than Telesto. On a side note was testing out crooked fang and my first game using Telesto/ one eyed mask and I got double bagged by 2 blade barrage hunters running Luna’s so I guess it’s not just you who wants a nerf
-
2 Replieshow about you learn how to play instead wanting hand outs from the dev
-
1 ReplyI agree completely, it’s a good weapon and they definitely DO NOT need to nerf it, just move it to the heavy slot. We were playing comp last night and we’re on a six game win streak and guess what...... We ran into that team that were all rocking the Telesto and they won. I’m not hating on the other team, I mean it’s a game and they were using all the tools they had to win but damn, LoL. Moving it to the heavy slot keeps it strong while reducing the frequency of frustration. If the other team is good and controls heavy then that’s on me and my team to do a better job of map control.

1 ReplyShotguns and telesto with basically unlimited Ammo suck
-
1 Reply"It's my opinion! Dont like? Dont respond." --- How hypocritical. I dont like your opinion. You shouldn't have posted this topic. Remove it.
-
3 RepliesThe problem OP, is that competitive isn't the only place Telesto is used and you are suggesting that what makes it easier for competitive supercedes everything else. Reducing the special ammo it receives in [b]competitive[/b] only is one option.
-
2 RepliesIdk your stats but I can confirm its the same at around 2500 glory and above as well. People will just use telesto and its super frustrating to play against
-
2 RepliesIts pretty much the only way to counter lunas
-
4 RepliesTelesto definitely needs to be in the heavy spot. And probably also get as much ammo as a rocket launcher. It's just stupid in Comp. So skilless its not even funny. I went to Blade Barrage two people to win in Survival when I was the last person left on my team and just as the animation started I spun into leftover Telesto goo and died. That goo had been there for at least 2 years. Why should anyone get a kill for missing with one of the weapons that its hardest to miss with.
