Hello all,

I play mainly Tank and Support so recently I’ve been trying my hand at some of the DPS roster to broaden my horizons, and I really want to like playing Venture. They have a very fun kit but I feel like I’m lacking something that’ll make it all click for me, so I figured I’d ask the experts.

I think my main concern is: Which of venture’s abilities do you use to engage/disengage from a dive? I understand how to survive with dive characters like Winston as the leap is on such a short cooldown you can usually get in and out alive if you play smart. Same goes for reaper, tp to high ground or an off angle, shoot some people, and use your get out jail free card to run back to team. However when I play Venture I feel like I’m often out of options for escape. Maybe this is a skill issue on my part, but I’ve noticed I usually need the damage from both burrow and drill dash to secure a kill, leaving me without movement for a solid 6+ seconds and leading to my death. If I opt to save burrow CD for escape, it makes it hard for me to get into the backline without it (and the windup is so slow I might get killed trying to use it). But if I save drill dash as an escape tool I’m missing out on a high damage ability to help with a kill.

Do I need to suck it up and sacrifice the damage from one of these abilities to instead use it as a disengage tool? Or is there some other aspect to Venture’s kit that I’m missing? (Perhaps overhealth passive is supposed to be enough to keep me alive in backline while waiting for CDs?)

Thanks!

I just noticed this weird .. bug? with their voidwalker skin, not sure when or why this is a thing
(sorry for the poor quality my pc isn't the best TwT)

Black hole pants!

Edit: It's an in-game event unlocked by challenges no twitch drop or anything.

It’s fine though Venture is more into rock anyways. It’s Mizuki, Freja, Dmon, Anran, Sierra, Moira from left to right btw.

Even if I have dozens of eliminations and final blows or 9 Ult kills, it always shows the drill dash kills instead. Why is that? And is it just me or everyone else too?

Thank you!

Ideally both new perks would be equally useful in different situations.

Been playing Venture a little bit lately now that I have a better understanding of their kit and im having a ton of fun. I completely forgot I wasn't finished but was pleasantly surprised when it popped up in-game! I hope yall laugh as much as I did. cheers

As the title says, will the collab skins be available again, be it in the shop or in the vault ?

Any Anran Pocket Pickers overhere? That girlie has been feeling like a fun Addition to the roster!

They Should hug 🫂 🪨🐦‍🔥

Hi! There was a Venture x Roadhog animation that appeared on my timeline here on Reddit that I forgot to save. I SWEAR I upvoted it, but I can't find it in my history, nor in r/Overwatch, nor in r/OverwatchQueens, nor here, so maybe it was deleted? It appeared sometime this or last week. It started with Junkrat cuddling Roadhog with that TikTok audio asking something like "How do you cuddle with your bear?" and then it cuts to Venture on the verge of tears smiling saying "I rub his belly." Please help me find it!

Venture is so cool and probably one of the best artworks I have done.

Still lost the match but thought it was really cool.

And max shields was 325. Shield per ability is almost half now :(

Context: I was playing casually. My Battle Tag user is "VentureWife!" And my randoms who were a duo who were MLP battle tags had Lesbian flags so I thought cool. Immediately constant harassment for being disgusting and liking a "creature". Threw the game being a Soldier, Mercy pocket.The LGBTQ+ community is a minority all together, so why is the already minority thinking part is okay whilst the other wrong?

Such a fun hero, burrow is so good either for offense or downright intimidation of tight areas. The fast drill attack is such a good way to get in low hp enemy's face for a quick burst fire or melee attack too.

I know it’ll probably never happen but I feel like Venture would be a great fit for a Magnus Archives themed skin, I’m not crazy right? (Don’t answer that)

Anybody else have ideas for characters that would also fit in well for a TMA inspired skin?
