The Sorceress has always been one of the most popular classes in the Diablo series, thanks to her fast movement and powerful elemental skills. But for console players, one core ability, 
Teleport, just does not feel right.
Across Reddit and forums, players continue to voice their concerns about Teleport being too clunky on controller, especially compared to how it works on PC. One recent Reddit post lays out the issue clearly:
What Is the Issue with Teleport on Console?
On PC, Teleport lets you choose exactly where to go by clicking anywhere on the screen. You can instantly blink across the battlefield, either to escape danger or close the gap on a boss.
On console, you do not have a mouse cursor. Instead, Teleport sends you in a set direction with a fixed, shorter distance, which often feels unpredictable. Sometimes you end up right in the middle of an enemy pack instead of behind them, or worse, you try to dodge an attack and still land inside the hit zone. It makes positioning much harder, and players say it limits one of the class’s most important tools.
Player Suggestions for Fixing Teleport
Several players have come up with ideas to make Teleport feel better on console, especially for controller users:
- Analog Stick Distance Scaling: The farther you push the stick, the farther you teleport. This would allow players to control both direction and distance naturally, without needing a cursor.
- Hold to Teleport Further: Tap to teleport normally, or hold the button to go the maximum distance. This would make it easier to escape quickly without overshooting when you do not need to.
- Smarter Targeting Past Enemies: One idea is to let Teleport automatically place the Sorceress beyond enemy packs when the button is held, which would reduce the risk of blinking into danger.
Will Blizzard Change It?
Right now, there is no official word from Blizzard regarding the question if console Teleport will be updated. But with more players speaking up about it, especially on Reddit, it is becoming a common discussion point for the class.
Until then, console Sorceress mains will have to work around the current version, but there is hope that future updates will bring some much-needed improvements to make the skill feel just as good as it does on PC.
