yeah you teleport faster with a bow out, but you also lose 35% dr and 75% block and get insta-whooped. but yeah it was more useful when people didn't teleport
but one thing you can derive from it is the usefulness in chainlocking.
I'm probably the only person whos ever done it, but chainlocking guided arrows (garrow->tele->garrow) is even faster than charged strike, due to the bps
you land on them 3 frames faster, and a chain of garrows will knockback them, and most importantly, nobody ever ever ever expects it
extremely risky but a brilliant way to end a duel, for better or worse
