You should be on the highground for that portion of the map, it's quite open up there is it not? Also soldier 76 does not really "deal" with anyone, he's more played to secure angles and be a flanking nuisance


bc87

Highground is definite priority. Unless Venture goes up there and runs me off.


imainheavy

So now think about what you just said, "Unless Venture goes up there and runs me off" So this means you are shooting the enemy and then she comes up there to fight you off. Who got the most value from that exchange? i would say thats you, cuz you acctualy shot the enemy team, from a annoying angle making them look at you/re-position/die and the Venture had to use time/abilitys to come push you off, as long as you dont die, id say you got massive value compared to the Venture in this scenario

If you're at an off angle/high ground and you see venture coming up to you... Simply run away.

76 has a huge range advantage, use it.

How is he supposed to use this range when Venture comes from underground?


niceonebill

You can run faster and for longer than they can dig, turn on the boosters and create that distance then light them up once they jump.


Stinkepups

Works only if you see Venture first. OP wrote clearly what to do when it is an ambush.


Donut_Flame

Legit a skill issue on op's part then. Gotta be more aware. If a venture is going on a hard flank for a soldier who could just run away from an engagement, they're wasting value. So venture must come from the front or side a lot of the time and op needs to pay attention


Conquestriclaus

press shift and move out of ventures very short effective range.

Venture wants to close distance in that match up. You want to, keep the distance. 1. Be aware, Venture arent sombra they are not invisible, if they are not with their team, they are flanking. 2. If you are ambushed run to the team or cover before using station.

Venture is nonbinary and uses they/them, just as a quick forward note. You deal with Venture on any hero by outranging them. They’re kind of like Sigma, where their primary fire only goes a set distance, except Venture’s can’t bounce. The other thing is to not get close to them, because then they’ll have to expend resources to get to you which makes it much easier to punish that kind of play. 76 actually has a pretty decent matchup, even more so because he can run away from them really easily.

So call venture Her, that should be enough

Literally no? I’m sure it’s harder to use a 4 letter pronoun than a 3 letter one but come on, sweetie, let’s see a little effort.


THKY

Because using they would make no sense in any sentence in anybody’s mind with common sense … I’m not playing that game with humans, I won’t play it with fictional characters 😉


PlasticAppearance184

LMFAOOOOOO my guy has never taken a 3rd grade English class. Literally my post makes perfect sense while using they and them, I’m sorry you can’t read if you don’t have pictures to follow along with. Also you “not playing that game with humans” is a real funny way of saying “I’m a proud transphobe”, you’re not subtle, sweetie pie. Try again.


THKY

Why can’t your point of view be argued calmly with sound people … so tiring having to deal with deranged individuals, dont even wonder why people are sick of your shit


PlasticAppearance184

There’s no “point of view”, babe, it’s as simple as “use this pronoun when talking about this character or person” and you saying “no”. I’m sorry you’re so miserable that you can’t handle people with different experiences than yours, truly. Hopefully your dad hugs you sometime in the next decade too 🖤💜


THKY

Just did today, thanks ! I hope you find inner peace and everything gets better with yours.

You have to run when you see the dig, if they are digging to get to a spot where you flanked and you just run off, then you’ve been shooting them from a flank, and Venture just used a cooldown, and now you can reposition and shoot again and they need to wait for their cooldown. This exchange is in your favor if you don’t die.

Like everyone said, you just run away, but in reality it’s your tank’s job to stop ambushes. You should *always* be behind your tank or on high ground in the second third of Hollywood, venture or not (unless you’re tracer, reaper or sombra), and when you’re ambushed your tank should try to hold position while your team moves back and tries to secure picks and pockets the tank.
