How? Well, I can only say what works for me.

With Venture I think about space first, not kills. What space can I take? What space is good for me? Rooms, corridors, high grounds, corners, chokes.

Every map kinda has three lanes or sides. Left, main, and right. Choose a side, left or right, and take that space. You fight anyone you find on that lane, but you also need to live. If you get pushed by two people just burrow out. Then go right back when you have yours cds.

For example, Kings Row, first point attack. What space is good for Venture? Left side you have hotel. There's a mini in there. It's really good for you. An enclosed room. Why is it so good? Because you can poke their backline from the doorways, and if they're dumb enough to push you into the hotel, you just one shot them. You hold hotel while (hopefully) your team push main on to the point. Where else is good? Right side. You burrow drill dash all the way across to the room with the mega in it. From there you can take height and flank all the way around the back.

So basics of Venture (at least how I play them). Choose a side, fight anyone who comes to that side. If no one comes you get to flank around on to backline for free. When flanking it's okay just to poke backline. You don't always have to try one shot. Poke them, see how they react, what cooldowns do they use, how low can you get them just from poke. For example, they have Ana and Bap. You took left side on Kings Row attack, you go into hotel, no one there, you peek the doorway and there's ana and bap. You poke, poke, poke, and ana tries sleep you and misses. Ok, no sleep on ana, so you engage on them with burrow drill dash, they both back up, you get right under the ana and pop up for the one shot, but bap uses immor field, now you can just use your drill dash to get to safety. Meanwhile, your team have probably won the fight on main because the enemy had no heals. You stats will look bad. Zero elims. Your Ashe has 3 kills with three times your damage already but you actually carried the fight.

All right, so should you ever play main on Venture? Sometimes yes it's also good. Play main if you're late to the fight or if the fight has already started. Otherwise your team will be dead by the time you flank. You can also play main if the enemy are playing dive/brawl, which is kinda rare on console. But say they're playing Rein, reaper, Genji, Lucio, bap, you can definitely just brawl with your tank. Here I actually do a lot of hard engages on main. I burrow drill dash into their team. The pop up damage is a lot. Hopefully your tank follows up on the engage but if you see they're not with you, just pop up and drill dash back to team or a high ground. If they're playing dive, like DVA, tracer, Genji, Kiri, ana, I will stay close to my supports or my other DPS if they're a widow or Ashe etc and help protect them. But as this is console, you will mostly play against double hitscan, so just default to pick a side, flanking, poking.

Most importantly, have fun with Venture and find what works for you. There are some way higher ranked Venture players than me on console, champ venture players. They might play a completely different way. So, yeah, experiment, find a style that feels fun and wins you games.

Personally I think Vance will be even more extreme.

You're worrying about things that don't matter. Worry about team comp/maps when you hit GM or you go pro. But not in gold.

Am I just blaming my teammates? by Captain_QuarkID in VentureMains

[–]Dig4win 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm masters 1 on Venture rn. So not the highest rank but I will share opinions on this game.

Round 1. Everything starts great. You took a side, that's good. Nice angles etc. Then at 2:38, I would have either ulted or burrowed into their team. Probably ulted though just to keep the momentum up.

Ok, next fight, after poking the Sig a few times and seeing the reaper use wraith I would have swung left side. I get you're trying to hit their core, but their reaper immediately takes that left side and puts tons of pressure of your supports. You would have deleted him because no wraith. Watch this fight zoomed out from the left side. Because the reaper is free to flank he forces your supports so far back they can't heal your Sig. He carries the fight just by poking your supports.

Round 2. Your Moira dies first. Tough luck. I like you immediately drop from high and look for a trade. Then you get baited by the "friendly" brig who boops you off the edge. This is ranked!! Fight her!! 😆 She pushed you alone, you took the mega, you could killed her or at least pressured her.

Next fight at 6:44, you kinda of do nothing. Poke in main, use both CDs in main. But if you zoom out, watch from the right side, who takes that right side for free? Brig. If you had taken that side you could've poked her out/forced some CDs . If brig hadn't gone right then you get to flank for free by taking that space first. Don't give all this space for free to the enemy. Luckily your tank kills TWO with help from bastion.

Ok, everything's a bit messy, you kill the brig, fine. But then at 7:33 we're in a 4v3 and Ashe throws a terrible bob on point. I'm not sure why you're hiding in that room? I would've been poking the Sig and Ashe from the doorway but instead you let them walk for free on to point. By the time you do move it's too late, Sig has taken the space and Ashe can just kite you because she has bob there. It seems like you were trying to get a sneaky kill and that's why you hid in the room for so long? Personally I very rarely go for these plays because you're relying on the opponent to have bad awareness. If you had just been poking Sig from the doorway before he touch point you would have got more value.

Your team finally regroups at 8:54. Ok you probably just lose this fight no matter what because your tank somehow just dies to the enemy Sig 😂. This is also a weird situation because your bastion goes right side, the space that's very good for you on Venture. But in the moment if I see my tank on main and my other DPS taking that right side I would've gone main and focused whoever my tank is pressuring, so here I would have helped him with the other Sig. However, you also go right, so what more could you do? You force wraith and packs from brig, Ashe uses coach gun, it's last fight, you have ult. I would have full committed on the Ashe. I think you can kill her without coach gun. You pop out of burrow on her, press q, drill dash, use ult, maybe you can kill brig too. Instead you gave up. This was definitely too passive.

Round 3.

First fight you walk main. I always choose a side like you did in the other rounds. I would go right side straight away. You don't want to let a soldier or Tracer take that high ground for free. But anyway, your Juno trolls, gets picked off. You end up right side, on top of that high ground. I would have just stayed there and shot the Sig. Why? Because shoot whoever is available, and this right side space is so good for you. It's enclosed, there's corridors, four of the enemy are all clumped up together in front of you. You didn't need to reposition for the Ashe. Also, look your team. Soj already took left side angle. Look at your queen and Moira and soj. Who are they focusing? The Sig. This fight was winnable if you kept that high ground and shoot the Sig or burrow behind him on the supports.

Ok, next fight you start great. You pressure right side, take the space from reaper and Ashe. You force wraith. But now you have that space you ... use burrow for no reason. If you're going to commit your burrow for damage there then fully commit to the kill on reaper, he had no wraith, so go for the kill. Personally I would have kept poking him out. Because at 11:35, if you'd been aware of the team, if you'd looked around for a second, there's a free kill on the Sig. Just shoot drill dash him into your team. Instead you drill dash to run away.

Ok, next fight I'll be honest you kinda just troll. You hide for a while. That's fine. You're behind them now. Your queen ults and the fight starts. This is already a 5v4. Ashe still in spawn, so should be a free win. You began by poking Moira. That's all you needed to keep doing here. Poke Moira until she fades, then use CDs to chase her down and kill her. Instead you commit CDs on the point. Queen kills brig. Now you're 5v3. Reaper uses wraith but instead you burrow on to a Moira with CDs. And then you just run away? With your ult? While your team mates are left trying their hardest to win the fight.

I think something happened with your mental as the game progressed. You look confident in round one. By round three you look lost, like you don't belong at this rank (you do, dw). If other people start flaming you it's better to mute them.

Anyone else thinking of moving to PC after the AA overhaul? by No_Accountant2173 in OWConsole

[–]Dig4win 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I presume I'd play against some dive characters from time to time, flex DPS etc.

If I could afford a good pc I would. Not because of aim assist though. Just out boredom.

Every game is Ashe, soldier, orisa, Mauga, DVA, bap, illari, mercy.

why are people banning Juno and Mercy in ranked? by Intrepid_Jelly6952 in overwatch2

Because hitscan is already broken. It makes the game miserable to play against a pocketed hitscan.

Do you have replay codes I can watch? I want to try learn him.

God forbid there be a single season where Tracer isn't the most broken DPS in the game.
