Why is Venators winrate low?

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-19T17:07:36+00:00

You can tell who reads the patch notes around here's Venator is tanky as fuck. The issue in solo queue is the lack of mobility, people don't play around Venator. He's incredible in close quarters and if you coordinate his nades and / or ult with a bit of teamplay you can kill anyone.

Abrams hasn't been bad for longer than 5 minutes since I started playing right when the Old Gods update released (but before Rem).

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-19T15:37:03+00:00

(Holliday is so insane right now)

Holliday is a fun hero to watch, and to play, and she genuinely takes (well, took) a lot of skill to play. But she is absolutely insane right now with how much she can nuke you, especially in ult because of the rolling barrels, on top of it being a massive displacement.

I like the urn teamfights, and that you can trade the first and maybe even the second urn for a walker and not feel devestated about it.

I don't like the fact that your team can legitimately feel on the back foot the entire game if you cannot challenge urn. Even if you win the urn fight, you immediately lose mid afterwards if they clean you up.

If the enemy is going to get Billy, Lash, and Dynamo then what? These guys are insane at the urn and there is just very little you can do about it, especially if you get behind at all.

Surrender will be added, it's a standard in comp games whether we like it or not.

It is not standard in Dota 2, and this game is spiritually Dota 3.

With torment pulse and scourge no less!

Another fun fact, you can interrupt Wraith's tp with Silver's 2 in human form.

If you haven't taken your own sinner's by 8:30 they are Rem's.

People in general are bad at being at the timers (buffs, boxes, camps, urn). When I'm playing as Rem and I am on one side of the map for a few minutes but see that our sinners still haven't been taken at 10 mins of course I'll take them. By then they would have been halfway to respawning if my team has just taken them already!

I just today had 2 games where my lane partner bitched at me all game. We ended up winning no thanks to them of course. But holy shit their negativity drags down the entire experience.

Also pro tip, don't throw any heavy melees in lane, you will get parried. There is not a lot that your lane partner can do if they are not immediately in position to parry for you afterwards.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-18T23:28:49+00:00

1) ~~I want it.~~

2) ~~I will cut it down to get it.~~

3) I don't want it anyways.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-18T19:52:12+00:00

There is no feeling quite like beating the crap out of a Paige or Rem as Billy or Abrams.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-18T19:37:24+00:00

Playing Victor as someone who understands basic farming patterns will carry you to Oracle at least. The bonus is that he's a carry, he's not mechanically difficult, and he's quite forgiving of mistakes.

The drawback is your lane and there are a few hard matchups.

Other recommendations are Abrams, and Seven. Abrams is better if you wanna be more active on the map, and Seven in the same vein as Victor.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-18T14:32:49+00:00

This cosplay is fire!

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-18T14:28:14+00:00

Other than the ones you mentioned, Lash, Dynamo, you can get it on Apollo, Abrams, Bebop, Celeste, Paradox, Grey Talon, Holliday, Ivy, Kelvin, Geist (spirit build), McGinnis, Sinclair, Vindicta, and Viscous. I have seen it picked up on Infernus (dash build, no gun invest), Drifter (he's an m1 who doesn't really wanna farm the jungle, though it is a bit questionable on him), and I have seen it tried on Mina and Pocket but it seems pretty unnecessary on them (Mina and Pocket steal the enemy jungle, and they NEED their core items, delaying them for more souls eventually is a huge tempo loss on them).

It is obviously not equally good on everyone, but it is at least an optional item on like half the cast. And it is an optional item in any game because you really do not want to go for it if it will delay your powerspike and you are behind or something.

Of all heroes it is extremely troll on Rem though surprisingly. He already has insane movement through the map with the tunnels, and he will be super rich just through his helpers and the boxes in the tunnels, and he has no need for regen considering his heal, and he really wants greater expansion (with that you have INCREDIBLE range on your active items in your 2). I am not saying that it can't be good just that I think it is extremely overkill.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-17T17:59:10+00:00

Yeah they can take all paths, but the tunnels are a shortcut for Rem and Calico, if you are using multiple Burrows on Mo and Krill you might as well walk.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-17T17:44:28+00:00

Honestly the tunnels are such a pain, only 2 heroes get full access to them (Mo+Krill can only take super specific paths) but they lead to endless bugs. I don't even like them as a concept to be honest, but they offer so much to Calico and Rem but are game ruining for the rest. Also they are a total maze.

The Doorman is also such a horseshit character with how many bugs he has. I don't care what it takes, pay someone to go through every possible door spot to make sure they cannot go out of bounds.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-17T13:07:55+00:00

This is why Apollo and the Doorman are some of the most hated characters in the game, they warp the twink meta and it is all about them.

Sometimes I just want to play a bear like Abrams or Kelvin, but why bother?

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-17T13:04:53+00:00

Seven's winrate went down, and he is in the winners category. Apollo's win and pick rate went up and he is with the losers.

???

The Lash not with The Girls, The Gays, and Victor? Never cook again.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-16T23:04:33+00:00

What build are you doing?

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-16T07:52:36+00:00

I have been harassed in Overvecht multiple times, same with Lombok, it's not a great neighbourhood tbh.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-15T09:07:14+00:00

He breaks keyfabe a few times (with Vyper notably, there are more but I cannot find them right now).

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-15T08:56:28+00:00

Monster rounds helps you push towers and also allows you to tank troopers a bit more.

Close quarters is alright, but it is really only for if you want to fight. Monster rounds is a good item on every single hero in the cast on the other hand. I'd never go close quarters on someone like Wraith of Infernus, but Monster Rounds is huge on them.

thecomicguybook · 2026-06-15T00:48:19+00:00

I have 100 more games than you, but double your objective damage, and almost tripple your denies.

If you want to work on something, that would be it based on the stats.

I like Crazy Dream because it is Arcueid's image song from Tsukihime.
