Overwatch 2 |OT2| Venture on Champions
- Thread starter Solidsnakejej
- Start date
- OT
From my time playing this season, no one is instalocking Venture, and I haven't seen the character all that much in the games that I'm playing. They are a blast to play, and I'm doing well with their kit, but it's odd I haven't seen the character much so far.
Venture is an absolute menace in Plat 1, I'm 11 and 3 with them because most people don't protect their support.
Unless they're OP, that's what I usually see. Instalocked for a weekend, and we already had that weekend.
Yeah, as a Support, if I hear "Excavation initiation!" I know I'm about to die.
XIM crackdown is coming! Praise be.

yea, gonna hope i get the sprays in QP. Arcade is rough when there's like 3 tanks mitigating the damage with support.
hell yea, the race has begun
hell yea, the race has begun
I hope detection is strong for new accounts when its implemented. Those clearly ximming default skin, endorsement level 1, soldier 76 players in QP are damn annoying.
The announcement that Blizzard is exploring official M&K support for console players... (yes, please)
🗣️ Input-based matchmaking over platform-based
🗣️ Put Steam Deck players in the "console pool"
Quick play only or whatever, I don't mind if there are still limitations for competitive.
Seems like a mixed bag. Perm bans except once season 11 hits you won't get perm banned even though they're still unsupported but one day MKB may become officially supported... It makes sense they'd ban because MKB+AA shouldn't ever be a thing though.
I just think it falls short of an ideal scenario. But I'm sure people will be happy that they're handling cheaters at least.

A XIM player in PC pool is gonna have a wake up call. I doubt they can even remove acceleration and without aim assist they're probably gonna be super bad.
RIP
How else do you learn how to swim other than being thrown in the ocean?
I wanted to ask this for some time because i am not really experiencing it with any other game i play or played. Maybe it's just me or maybe it's the game. Is anyone else experiencing sensory overload when playing the game? Especially more than few matches in a row. Both visual and audio side it feels like quite often there is just too much going on and i don't remember OW being this bad. I would sometimes get eye strain from OW, but in OW2 it's definitely more than that. I am not sure what can i do but try totally lowering the brightness of my monitor and in-game audio because i am having these issue where the game is literally giving me headache even when not playing more than few games daily.

i only have this problem if i play for too long and don't take breaks. adjusting your brightness and volume will def help if it's just the usual eye strain/noise. but a headache? not sure if you're susceptible to epilepsy.
hell yea, closer to getting the new Sombra/Widow skins.
Not just you. It is definitely heavy on the audio visual clutter. I play with my headphones volume quieter for sure.
It's especially bad if you're playing something brawl comp related as a tank and in the middle of it all when ults start flying.
Try giving yourself a 5 min break every few games. Get up walk around, grab some water. Take your headphones off between rounds.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I will definitely try lowering the visual effects too.

Just a general PSA, don't chat until the dev time provides an update on what is being moderated.

Overwatch 2 Known Issues - April 17, 2024
To the heroes of Overwatch, We want to keep you up to date on some of the bugs and issues we’re aware of that are affecting the game. This is not a complete list of all currently tracked issues affecting Overwatch 2, rather, this is a targeted list of some known specific issues with this...

This is the number one reason I'm fine they went from 6v6 to 5v5. Any time I'm overwhelmed I'm like well at least there's not 2 more people here causing chaos, lol.
Is this a problem in quickplay as well? My brother and I felt our games tonight had larger skillgaps than usual, some on our team and some on the other (2 minute win on Hanamura gave nightmare flashbacks to 2CP).
Hopefully the Ximming and console M/KB stuff means we eventually get input-based matchmaking and we can get M/KB only lobbies in QP again. I cant remember the last time I played QP for more than like an hour and didnt get at least 1 console player who was totally out of their element. Isnt fun for us and definitely isnt fun for them lol
OW is way more taxing than anything else I play so I get this but it also usually compounds with IRL stuff(like not sleeping well or having a particularly taxing day at work). I play on low settings and have audio on night mode too which helps though. May want to play around with the team/enemy colors too and see if there is any combo that is easier for you than your current settings
Take legal actions. Make 3rd party peripherals requires licensing and EULA. If XIM want to make devices they can license them and it turns off autoaim on detection instead of trying to appear to be a controller. Take them to court and bankrupt them, you have MS legal behind you and they won't be able to fight it. Cheaters need to suffer.
Isn't it best to use these after you finish the BP because they don't apply to the title levels and carry over next season?
It's very odd to me that no other Blizzard community seems to have said much about this. You'd think this would effect WoW players as much as OW players, no?
Howling at the multiple thanks a lifeweaver gave me on well/ilios when I backfilled as tank and spent mauga's cage fight entirely to trap a Lucio that was eternally cycling the map with wall rides and being a bother as opposed to a threat.
Sometimes you just know it's the right call,it's good to be appreciated for such an expenditure.
Having played many more games as them, Venture is the one, they're without a doubt my fave damage character, they feel like a revisit of the DPS Doomfist concept, with smarter design that stops people getting peeved that they walked into the full charge rocket punch from a man grunting loudly for three full stationary seconds like it was a truly unavoidable moment /shoot
At first I was waaaay too unga with them, because I've still been getting used to the new health pools I'd forget they were still fairly squishy, with the shield passive being pretty minor all things considered, so I'd overcommit to a kill under a foolish assumption of being more durable and pay the price.
Getting more into the hit and run/early retreat and picking spots more carefully,
I feel like the ult is gonna get nerfed because it just seems really good while being easy to use, having four shots which two tap most characters with that range seems pretty ridonk, but then again maybe that's on par with a lot of damage character ults, I can see them maybe knocking one of the waves out the clip.
Fun movement, pseudo melee mixed with getting equipped with Drill Bomb from MM4, and tunneling away to avoid ults that would usually have me fooked is just the best.
On the other side of my damage faves spectrum
Sym has been done dirty by the new HP pools, doesn't feel like they did anything to any of her kit to help her remain effective in the new meta, feels absolutely mad how even with DPS passive in play, I have to do SO much work to secure kills, the orb need what like three full charges to end a 250 hp hero, assuming they don't get healed.
And while a support who is in a much better spot, Brig's mace to the face could use a boost for similar reasons, it feels left behind right now and it's not like she was a damage monster before.
FUCKIN SUCK IT WIDOW AND ASHE NERDS, GET WRECKED BY THE REAL ARSE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE UNITS

I don't think I get how to play Venture "correctly", but jumping out of the ground and then using the drill dash to run away, just being a nuisance rather than actually try to kill, it's definitely fun and seemingly effective.

About time! Some players will be in for a rude awakening next season.

The delay on Ventures burrow ability keeps getting me killed. My reflexes are used to things like fade or ice block that are instant. The animation delay on the dig is really messing with my head when I play them.
I'm not sure there is another hero who punishes you for being out of position as viscerally as Venture does lol. DPS doomfist kinda did but sometimes he just flew out of the sky so what could you do. But getting shoved into a corner while being drilled to death just hits a certain way that hurts your soul because you know deep down you shoulda seen it coming
Same same same. It's killed me more than once and I've said more than once wtf I was out of that. I'm too used to moira, reaper, etc.
Similarly the directional lock on his drill charge. I keep getting overexcited and right click just too early before acquiring my target and drill nothing but concrete.
I'm so happy they're finally doing something about XIM. Been a looooong time since Jeff Kaplan mentioned it lol.
Tho i wonder how it'll actually go. I hear the companies constant update these devices to bypass detection, so is this going to be a cat and mouse game?

Hog is kinda a goofy character again ngl.
They're just never gonna get Tank right in this game. My second favorite role is legit dead lol.
Ram just doesn't seem like a real character sometimes. It's like I like the character but that kit is crazy compared to say... Rein and some of the day 1 Tanks.
You also can't lock what you want and climb anymore. No matter how good you are. It's really up to your team sometimes not to lose you the game when you actually do pop off on Tank. I won't even mention candy ass Orisa swappers.

I almost only play tank, but I don't play comp and I'm not at a high level so it's usually a good time.
From the dev blog, they've been secretly analyzing the devices for several seasons and how they are used in their games. Seems they are pretty confident about it. Wouldn't surprise me if they actually bought some to test and see how they work. But it's nice they are gonna do perma on the top offenders. Good bye to all those accounts. I hope they spent a lot of money for cosmetics with them too.
If they ever get there, then it will be a few seasons down. A few of these implementations have had false-positives and flagged people that were using a controller, so they need to really dial this in.
I was so sad yesterday that I got into a tank match, tried out like 3 different tanks against an Orisa and we just kept getting slammed, so I swapped to the mirror and we finally did well and were competitive. I need to find a fun pick who can counter Orisa without just pulling out the mirror since it's not really a fun mirror.
I'm really looking forward to DPS queues dying down a little bit so I can give Venture a go. They seem so fun, but I don't want to play the instalock game against people.
Ram is weird for me where I feel like some matches I'm incredibly useful, others i'm tissue paper and just get obliterated as soon as i'm on screen. I always just chalked it up to me not playing a lot of tank, but yeah his kit is pretty complex. I like it though, he's fun to play. Hitting a big Ram ulti feels amazing, makes me want to cackle like him.
