It's probably not going to be as strong, but yeah. Would not be surprised if more characters with kits broadly similar to existing characters, just tweaked to suit a different role, start showing up.

Start? It's been happening for ages. Cassidy's flashbang was basically a Tracer ult that auto-aimed.

Sandwolf posted:This feels pretty uninspired imo, an OW2 hater. The underground thing is ostensibly no different from Doomfist’s ult, no? Not in the least. You can be interrupted before you finish the animation to dive, it has a charge component when you come out, and its moderately slow (feels like walk speed).

Yeah, it's like a Reaper wraith form but with a windup and a damage at the end. Clearly meant to be an engage tool rather than an escape tool. Hot take: Reaper should have wall climb in wraith form.

Sounds like power creep to me I demand that they change Reaps so that when you TP in to a group of people. it creates an AOE smoke bomb effect that blinds nearby players until you fully materialize

Venture is fun. Left click kind of works like rammatra punch, very short range but very powerful, the right click is a combination escape/fatality kill chase job like doomfists punch.

I haven't tried the hero or watched much, but abilities like Rammatra punch are what most of us would probably like LESS of in the game. Clicking and auto dealing damage without having to aim or be touching the other person (actual melee range) are not good in FPS or pseudo-FPS games. But like I said, I might just be misinterpreting this as I haven't tried out the character yet. I don't see myself bothering until we are past the point where every game has someone on both teams that tries to insta-lock the hero.

Aus queues have been messed up for DPS and even support since Venture dropped. Had an 8 minute wait when queued as DPS/Support before. Eventually just queued Support and still had 5+ mins with priority! Tank was near instant but playing tank when all the children are on the first day of holidays just suuuuuuuucks. So yeah, no chance to actually evaluate how they will play in a "real" match.

I don't think it's reasonable to say ramms punch is just click and auto damage, it certainly is not the same as a long range projectile or hitscan in skill level but it is very easy to whiff ramm punches and venture left clicks and venture certainly rewards quick decisive engages which is a skillset in its own right

From the looks of high ranked players playing Venture, they basically seem like DPS Doom revived, except easier to play, with MAYBE slightly less damage potential. You can do some nice combos, but I don't think the character necessarily blows people up in the same way, though it might be close. Seems like a fun character, potentially problematic for the same reasons other problematic characters are problematic.

# ? Mar 30, 2024 10:45 |

Seems like they have a high burst three hit combo with the gun, dash, melee. Could also combo it with the jump out thing. Feels balanced because consistently hitting it won't be easy for most players.
|
# ? Mar 30, 2024 19:19 |
|
I can't figure out the hitbox or whatever for the jumping out of the ground move or the ult but once I realised the right click could be used for vertical mobility they just clicked for me and I'm going ham. I was never a doom player but it's a very similar play style for sure

This is like the 5th time they've done a variation on x-treme grimdark gloomy corruption. Season 11 should be wall to wall lighthearted 90s normcore skins.

Talon are about as grimdark as Cobra from GI-JOE, and I assume that mirror universe means that we'll see some good versions of the bad-guys as well. https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24057477/director-s-take-welcoming-venture-to-overwatch/ Aaron Keller posted:There are some great improvements to Wrecking Ball's Grappling Hook, including a reduced cooldown when not entering ramming speed and the ability to retract himself to where the Grapple is attached by holding down Primary Fire or Jump. There are also some changes to Adaptive Shields. Now after using Adaptive Shields, you can reactivate the ability to transfer up to 300 overhealth to nearby allies, capped at 75 overhealth per ally
