This character is extremely overpowered. A dps should not have this many abilities and this much control over every single situation in the game. It is beyond ridiculous the amount of things this character can do. Besides that, the damage this character can do is way too high. Its like having 2 extra players on the team when venture is used. This character needs balance changes.
I honestly feel like the devs of this game are completely tone deaf to their players. OW used to come out with great characters who were actually fun to play against. Now it just seems like they throw the most overpowered and unbalanced abilities possible on them and think they made a fun character. Every time I play this game since OW 2 came out it feels less and less fun to play. Mauga and Kiriko were great additions, but everything else has been a massive failure in my opinion. There needs to be some serious changes with OW’s development going forward.

In my experience, Venture’s dropped off the face of the earth since the last set of nerfs. Your mileage may vary.
I’ll admit that I’m not too sad about it. I didn’t like getting booped all over the shop.

I’m getting venture on the enemy team every other match it seems. The character is still overpowered and the nerfs did little to nothing to change that. This character shouldn’t have mobility and immunity that makes team fights greatly favor the enemy team.

Burrow is a dumb ability, but so is invis. Closing 50m on you underground.
Venture is the 2nd worst designed dps next to Sombra. It’s sad to see with how cool Sojourn is. Makes me miss Goodman low key ( Screw Sigma)

Venture’s thing is strong upclose, non-existent at range. With a big hitbox at that - to the point that whenever they ult, it becomes a “hey, shoot me” signal where they almost never get to finish ulting.

I for real hate the character, like actual hate. Simply because it puts way too much pressure on the entire team. Having Venture dive your backline is pretty much impossible to deal with cause they outta here in a jiffy.

She’s annoying when she gets away with a little HP using burrow. I think magnetic grenade should be able to attach much later in the animation and stop her.
But I’d rather play against enemy team with 2 Ventures than a single Sombra. Super annoying, low skill hero. Like TF2 we should have a flame thrower hero to spy check for her. I end up spending a quarter of the game fanning the hammer behind me and in random hallways.

I haven’t even seen a Venture in three or four days, and I play 10+ games a day.
Like yeah… I am thinking HARD and I don’t remember seeing a single Venture at all yesterday or the day before, at the very least. And I main Pharah, so I’d remember, because I’d be griefing a Venture all game.
Weird, because she was in every game for a while.
I rather play vs Venture than Sojourn anyday
Venture has some of the most telegraphed abilities in the game. You see them burrowing towards you and just kind of…step out of the way to avoid them.

Agreed. Makes zero sense for them to have shield when using their abilities!
Love getting these moles in the enemy team, they are so transparent in their intentions most of the time, and when they are not - they stay afk waiting for perfect engagement, while you farm their team.
This just tell us how you have a very poor understanding of overwatch and what’s healthy for the game. Mauga and Kiriko are 2 of the most problematic unhealthy heroes they’ve ever added to the game. Venture is the best addition since ball. A strong flanker but vulnerable to cc like all flankers. Bigger hitbox too. If you can’t land a sleep on venture you should die.

Any Ventures I see absolutely don’t do anything and instantly provide value by switching to Symmetra. Don’t read this a car insurance thing

Why would you swap off Venture, a character that can add damage, get picks and distract the enemy team for Symmetra, who doesn’t really add much of anything to any team, almost ever?
Venture was a great addition to this game, they nerf’d them a little too much even. They still have problems when they go into burrow even when a venture wants to make a play or do an escape, etc they die even though they are in the ground on their screen but it still gives the enemy time to hit you. It’s been a bug since “release”.

You suck at overwatch. Just here to let you know, in case you didn’t understand that by now from complaining about a bad hero.

I haven’t seen many Ventures in comp at all. The ones I have, aren’t dominating the lobbies. They’re just doing a decent job. And like Junkrat, you can counter a good Venture with Pharah or Echo. Or even Junkrat! hah.
If you’re talking about QP, remember. The number 1 thing to remember, is the matchmaking in QP often puts silvers against diamonds, even masters. So you cannot in good faith talk about balance if you’re a QP bandit.
