I've been maining Venom for a week now and here are my tips to fully utilize his kit. 1. Know your role. You are not a dive assassin!!! You are gonna come across 2 healers most of the time and they are gonna be in the backline most of the time. You want to dive on them all the time. You won't necessarily kill them but you can keep both of them busy healing themselves and each other so the rest of the enemy team doesn't get heals. This means that the rest of your team can focus on killing the others. 2. Train your aim just like you showed in the video. I started off with 25% accuracy on average. I now get an average of 50% and consistently out dps my entire team. Btw Luna snow is the best target to practice on since she can run so fast. 3. Your ult does more damage to full health enemies. It takes away 50% health of the enemy + 40 damage. Also if you're up against a Mantis or Luna Snow, wait until they have used there ults otherwise you throw yours away. 4. Practice your climbing and try to be stealthy. You want to use it so you can engage on their backline and keep your swing for disengaging when you get low health. 5. This is personal preference but i find it better to keep easy swing on on Venom. I 've noticed that on some platforms that your swing will just pull you towards that wall instead of making you swing. Having easy swing on will force you to have the swing animation all the time. Make sure to just use hold to swing. If you need to pull yourself forward to grab a heal just use a short tap to get you there. Also it took me a while to figure this out but you don't move the direction of your swing with WASD. You move it with the camera. 6. Your best combo is Dive bomb -> Cellular Corrosion -> Ultimate and you can do all of that in a second to burst down a lot of enemies. Try to communicate with your team to synchronize ultimates together to one shot the entire enemy team. 7. Melee enemies who are standing next to you instead of primary fire. You'll only hit one or two tentacles if they stand so close to you and you do more damage with your melee attack at that point. 8. Use your body to block people from running. It's funny but you can kinda push heroes around with his body. I've had a few encounters now where i just pushed a healer into a corner and they couldn't move anymore. 9. The best tip i can give is just learn what all the other heroes do and learn to counter. I've found that the best team up for Venom is having a Storm on your team. combining their ults makes quick work of the enemy team and Storm can boost your damage so instead of needing 4 primary attacks to kill a 250 HP hero you''ll just need 3. Also her activated wind mode combined with your Cellular Corrosion can slow the enemies movement by a lot so it makes it easy for the rest of your team to get hits in.( A little tip for playing Storm is just stick to the ground and don't fly. You'll thank me later!) 10. The actual website gives you better overview of what each hero does. It's kinda weird the devs didn't put all the information in the hero overview. www.marvelrivals.com/heroes/index.html?heroId=0
I agree with all of this but Hulk makes venom seem way less desirable. My venom also consistently does top damage but it feels like nobody actually dies often. At least hulk has arguably more overall mobility (no cooldown on jump but less distance), a ranged nuke and ranged stun. Like I jump supports on venom and do a lot of damage but nothing dies, on Hulk they do die though , even with 2 supports you can kill usually if you stun one and kill the other. The stun is 3 seconds that's a lot of time lol.
@@gaffgarion I think Venom just needs a bigger hitbox so you can make those headshots a little more consistent. But as i said you're not there to get kills. You're more like a bully that wastes the enemies time.
Oh bonus tip, been playing Venom for 20 hours and hit diamond 1 with him. When you do the cellular corrosion ult combo on a full hp squishy. If you know the enemy has no escape tool and you want to guarantee a kill, you pop your cellular corrosion, go into your ult, and when the circle timer pops up wait until right before it gets halfway and then do the attack at the same time as the corrosion pops and it’ll leave any non-vanguard at a one shot. (Now here’s to me praying Venom gets a micro-buff that makes cellular corrosion do 85/90 damage instead of 80 so this combo becomes a true one-shot)
Being so honest right now, you have helped a lot in my venom gameplay. After viewing your content and how you play I noticed my skills with venom is improving too. Even though I play controller and my aim is not really there unfortunately, you showing me these positions and small combos (that I hope I can pull off) is even much appreciated. And also because of you, you motivate me to continue to practice with venom and getting better with him. please keep it up brother, don’t stop!
I'm Brazilian and I'm here to say. I was Platinum and today I'm a Master playing only Venom (of course, when he's not banned). I got here because of your videos. Thank you very much.
The tech at 1:58 is crazy, you can also do it if you are near a wall, you just climb and run on it and can quickly dive again on the ground. it's a little bit slower but you save the swing cooldown.
Sick combo 1:27. For standard engagements I always take a shot before slamming down. I've watched a few guides and none have mentioned that or the fact that his ultimate does more damage to full health opponents, appreciate the rollouts as well.
Yo i appreciate the guide a lot, I’ve honestly been struggling in ranked and need a new character to stick with this gives me some confidence to commit to Venom and really learn him. Hoping to take this information and the new skin into action 🙏
@@XhinjOfficial thank you so much brother! I’ve seen your spider-man videos i knew i recognized your name dude your thumbnails are super clean love the 3d models i bet it makes it so much easier for you to get creative with your thumbnails!🔥👊🏼
I’ve been playing Thor for a bit and I wanted to expand to other characters that i would like to play and , honestly these are some good tips and tricks I could use instead of just rushing in and getting myself killed
hey brah, appreciate the part 2. was just wondering, would you recommend a higher sens if you dont have as much mouse space? i dont have as much room for a full mat
@@axpo7803 yes higher sense but not too fast to the point you start missing and can’t hit anything, Gradually work your way up until you feel a sense right for you!😁👍🏻
You are an actual hero, I got my first wins off ur last video. Preciate u fr, if my name goes big ur defo getting a shout out. One question tho, do you have any settings or keybind advice for controller?
All of your venom videos have been helping me so much to the point where i even got a silver maining venom and managed to go 34-0 twice😃. Also the new christmas venom skin is about and it looks so cool but it cost so much of the blue tickets, i was wondering if you could make a vid on how to get enough blue tickets for the skin/bundle?
@@MrZoro111 damn 34-0 twice is crazy good stuff my guy!🤯 glad my videos has helped improve your Venom! I’ll see what i can do about the blue tickets!👍🏻😁
@ I figured but you guys have so much info to pack in that I like to throw out some nuggets to get info out. I just got smoked in a 5 dps QM playing him and then rocked with just one healer in the next. Looking for a good tank to learn on offensive maps since I Peni on def ones and I think I’m gonna put some time in on him.
Brother i think you should stream, i see no one using venom and im always looking for someone using him in thumbnails. Would be very insightful as not every situation gets covered in terms of decision making.
On Venoms my sensitivity I use 300 (to do some tech), with an exponential curve so that it is not too messy when I want to aim, but still need to update my settings.
Fellow venom main here and I also found myself practicing with the luna snow bots for aim training haha. Its real tricky while jumping around. Trying to make that final push to grandmaster but ive hit a slight wall. If anyone has tips for high elo venom gameplay please let me know! If you are more interested in more macro learning, consider taking inspiration from ball gameplay from overwatch. I think venom has a very similar role to hamster and think the overall idea is applicable. Ofc exact execution details and mechanics will differ, I'm just looking at the big picture here.
I must be playing with wall hack people because they always know where I'm hiding even if I'm there first before everyone sees, and when I look at kill cam they're already aiming at certain spots where I'm hiding, it doesn't happen every game but enough to be suspicious.
@AresMarveL it's not always, just enough times to be suspicious. I had an enemy black widow already aiming at a door in Asgard before I even stepped on it, and I was far away so no footsteps. It's.ore obvious when you have the whole team already looking in your direction from across the map when flanking.
Nice. Now i just need to get out of bronze 1, so hopefully I stop getting teams who expect me to solo tank, have 4 dps, and one strategist while ignoring all strategy and call outs.
venom is my most favourite marvel character so i want to play him but i find it so hard to land his tentacles on controller, in game my accuracy is 35%
As far as we can see currently on public stats / profiles, venom is one of the lowest performing overall heroes in the game in both quick and comp, and the lowest overall tank. As for viability - Hes "useable" for sure, but youre definitely going to have to work harder than other tanks to get value.
When i get mvp with venom, you are going to be the reason I get it 🫡🗣🐐💯
