The shooter player Turner “Tfue” Tenney is the Twitch streamer with the most followers. He started in 2015 with Crota runs in Destiny 1, and his rise came with Fortnite. Now he has returned to Destiny 2 and criticizes the PvP. He considers it to be much worse than in Destiny 1.
What does Tfue have to do with Destiny? Quite a lot. Tfue started on YouTube with videos showing how he defeated Crota in Destiny 1.
In 2015, it was a hobby for content creators to find increasingly absurd methods to kill and humiliate Crota with the strongest handicaps possible: Crota was even danced to death once, defeated with a dance mat.
Tfue also used the mighty Crota, Oryx’s son, as a punching bag and crash-test dummy to entertain his then few viewers. But he was also active in PvP and quite successful.
From 2015 and 2016, there are many speedrun and handicap videos of Tfue that showed how his career slowly picked up pace.
Destiny was also the main game for Tfue on Twitch for over two years when he was still a small player with only a few thousand followers on Twitch. At that time, he was known primarily as the “little brother” of a YouTube star:
- In 2015, he played Destiny for 511 hours, on average in front of 379 viewers.
- In 2016, he played 312 hours in front of 240 viewers – that was when his Twitch career slowly started drifting towards battle royale with H1Z1.
- By 2017, Tfue was already away from Destiny and completely caught up in the battle royale craze. First H1Z1, then PUBG, ultimately Fortnite. Here he broke through in 2018 as “Ninja’s rival,” making him the biggest streamer on Twitch.
- In 2019, an average of 44,500 people watched when Tfue streamed Fortnite.
Tfue on Destiny 2: People here can’t aim
This is what Tfue says today about Destiny 2: Tfue spent some hours in Destiny 2 on Monday to take a break from his constant Fortnite gaming.
The streamer tested the PvP and apparently has a low opinion of his opponents there: “It’s so easy to take people down here. The guys are so bad at aiming.”
In Destiny 2 it’s possible to succeed without good aiming. Especially shotgun players are “so cringeworthy.”
Destiny 1 was so “lit,” Destiny 2 is now too easy, it is “fucking Dogshit,” Tfue’s standard word for everything he currently doesn’t like.
This could improve Destiny 2: Tfue believes that to make Destiny 2 better in PvP, it needs open maps with long sightlines. That way, players can’t just slide around a corner and blast someone with a shotgun.
The spawns are also bad – whoever designed the maps seems to be stupid.
Relentless outside perspective on Destiny 2’s PvP
What’s behind it: After Destiny 1, the idea circulated to push Destiny 2 more towards “eSport” and develop a PvP scene.
However, this never really succeeded. It was criticized strongly by Destiny 1 veterans that Destiny 2 had become “too slow.” A single player no longer had the influence they had in the first game. Now a “team shot meta” dominated.
The other criticism of Destiny 2 as an “eSport shooter” is evident from Tfue’s words. He longs for a shooter where classic shooter skills, like quick aiming, are at the forefront. This does not fit with the many different abilities and weapon classes in Destiny.
Because in Destiny 2, there are weapons like the Grenade Launcher Mountaintop (The Summit), which prove to be Tfue’s downfall:
Tfue delivers his critique pointedly and harshly: The PvP of Destiny 2 has been criticized for similar reasons for years, even by more moderate people.
For various reasons, PvP in Destiny 2 apparently no longer plays the role it did in Destiny 1.
Bungie wants to change this with Season 10.
- Bungie apparently intends to attract and bind Twitch streamers again with Season 10 and the return of the Trials of Osiris. However, this could be difficult, as seen in the case of Tfue.
- Tfue has claimed that he never really attended school.
