First 2 hours with Venture

So i decided at the beginning of this season that I would learn Venture in competitive because I am a monster of a person and I don't have much to lose that I can't gain back.

Venture is pretty sweet when the comp and the map supports them. I have noticed a few things initially about their playstyle and where i get the most value and where I get punished the most.

Pros: They get a lot of value in KOTH maps and maps that have tighter areas/chokes (King's Row, Havana 2nd, Shambali 2nd, BlizzardWorld, Circuit Royal 3rd to name a couple)

Extremely high burst potential!

Incredible mobility that can put you into some really good positions.

Ability usage also grants overhealth which can be great to give your supports enough reaction time to what you're doing.

Let's be honest... they have one of the most joyful mannerisms for a character in the game of overwatch (I literally smile when I am playing them because of all the random voice lines)

Can be a good tank buster at times but I feel like playing them like an assassin is a better use of their kit.

Cons: Very limited range which does not work as easily on certain maps with certain comps against certain comps. Anything with long sightlines with a more passive turtle type team will have you either feeding or waiting to engage with long bouts of downtime. (Havana 1st and 3rd, Circuit Royal 1st sort of, Dorado 2nd I felt some of the pain points on)

You can be put into some very punishing positions if your team doesn't follow up on your aggression. This goes without saying that mismanagement of their abilities will also punish you depending on what you are doing.

You can be countered pretty easily by Pharah and Echo. Long range DPS heroes can also be a problem if you can't close the gap or have someone else helping you with them. Securing a kill on a good Mercy is challenging and requires the use of most of your abilities (but has a great voice line if you do kill her out of the sky).

The animation delay for tunneling seems like an eternity in a team fight.

For tanks I have really liked playing Venture with Reinhardt, Doomfist, and Junker Queen the most. If they follow up on your targets it is extremely devastating. Also, you have the ability to follow up on theirs. For DPS I like playing with a Tracer, Ashe, Echo, Mei the most. For supports I like Lucio and Kiriko but don't mind a Moira although getting vanilla Nano'd by an Ana is kinda crazy how much dmg you can actually do.

Overall I think they are a great addition to the DPS lineup. Their skill expression is very engaging and challenging but they aren't so tough that you can't get value from playing them rather plainly. I have noticed how on maps that I have good flanking routes and can sneak behind the team get a negative response from the enemy team claiming how broken they are meanwhile the moments you have to play like Brigitte they feel extremely underpowered. I feel like this a healthy balance.

I just think they are hella neat.

Below the cut I will have some highlights and potg as Venture. Mostly it is comp but I played them in a 4 stack in quick play for a couple of games with other plat+ players despite my dps being silver.

Did The Last Crusade even play at the Cinerama? I didn't check.

Billy shouldn't be in his Quizboys outfit when he's hanging out off set; he needs a casual look.

Pete has a lot of wigs, not just his game show host hairstyle. This is his cool dude weekend spiked shag.

Billy doesn't know it's not White's real hair but what does Billy know about hair? I mean, look at him.

Quizboy vs. Pancakes

This is the pinnacle of "cool nerd"/"hipster doofus" fashion circa 1996

Wally: Unknown

Julie: Flower Monster

Barnaby: Water/Slime Creature

Frank: Pied Piper (only to insects... Yes, this includes Howdy...)

Sally: Star Being

Eddie: Shapeshifter

Poppy: Phoenix

Howdy: Humanoid Caterpillar (should be a butterfly in his age.... weird....)

Y/n: Human

If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to send them! I do have a rough planned out story for these guys, but mostly, idk what I'm doing- feel free to ask for suggestions as this is still in the beginning phase and not fully up in the air yet.
