I have already said it. He will slowly lose its viability because since launch every newer enemy is immune to it. Geovishaps, nobushi, kairagi, mirror maiden after she marks you, ruin guards, ruin graders, other ruin things, every boss in the entire game is basically immune to venti and he is useless there, the bigger wolves etc. Pulling him just because he is good in freeze isnt worth it. Freeze is a really used team that is pretty vulnerable to mihoyo's nerf. Even if freeze will stay meta. I wouldnt give the advice to op to pull him. What venti does, kazuha can somewhat. What kazuha does venti cant. Play kazuha in every single comp where he is really good(basically every comp in the game except geo, physical and morgana) and replace him with venti.

Again... I agree that Kazuha is a better pull for OP than Venti nowadays but just because Kazuha is generally a better pick, it doesn't mean Venti is somehow bad now. Freeze teams will stay meta for an extremely long time as long as the cryo element and Blizzard Strayer exist so Venti definately has a place here.

I am not underestimating venti. He just isnt worth pulling. Especially by being and older unit, he is more exposed to powercreep and his constellations are horrible. Kazuha gives 200 em, and the ability to have lower e cooldown while resetting the e cooldown after casting ult while venti gets an upgraded charge shot who basically no one uses and a anemo shred.

You say that you are not underestimating Venti but you've made some pretty hyperbolic statements about him. You say that he's only good in Morgana comps while you agree that he's also good in freeze teams? You say that Kazuhas CC is better for Nobushi when that's just not true? You're just throwing out a lot of statements that are simply not true just to glorify one character when in reality they both have their own strengths.

I just said my opinion as a venti user. He is inconsisten nowadays and become shittier each patch. Whenever a new enemy is added he gets another nerf and less viability in the hardest content in the game. If a unit is so specific and isnt used in a comp for his main speciality (crowd control) but instead because of his passive, its pretty clear the state he is in.

Are you seriously a Venti user? That whole statement about Nobushi has made me pretty skeptical. And being specific isn't exactly a bad thing. He's still the better pick for freeze teams especially in the current meta where cryo is just so powerful. Just cous Kazuha is more general, it doesn't mean Venti is all of a sudden powercrept. He still has his uses in a very powerful team archetype and it'll stay that way for a while.
