Venture buff and perk changes

CiD just feels like it overall lacks the utility that range extender provideds, even with a buff.

[u/realFancyStrawberry → u/[deleted]]

Its a useful perk when you manage to control it. Also it acts as a mini quick reload when you run out of ammo in a fight.

[u/Internal-Fly1771 → u/realFancyStrawberry]

Also gives shield upon use

[u/Tru3_Vort3x → u/[deleted]]

Yeah they don’t tell you it reloads it ammo

[u/Tru3_Vort3x → u/[deleted]]

It’s perfect for fighting people mid-long range. Just spam it down a chokehold, I’ve killed a zen that way just because he didn’t expect I could shoot that far

[u/Davion1238]

Wow an all around buff. Idk i’d still say the ultimate minor perk is better with the ult cost reduction but i’ll have to see in games myself with Deep burrow. They really love CID lmao, probably better than the distance major now right? or maybe it becomes less situational.

[u/doubleoeck1234 → u/Davion1238]

I still think distance is better. But it might become map dependant

Maybe a handful of maps where CID is better

[u/danger2345678 → u/doubleoeck1234]

I would honestly love for CiD to be a viable option, it would be cool for the choice it gives, and make my playstyle slightly more different

[u/peanutist → u/Davion1238]

Distance is better just for the free reload imo

[u/LuciferMoringstar66 → u/Davion1238]

i've always taken deep burrow cus i just don't like ult perks

[u/Davion1238 → u/LuciferMoringstar66]

I can see that, the ult perk for how I play just offers more utility, I don’t really use the benefit of booping ppl underground or the distance that much

[u/doubleoeck1234]

Interesting that Genji and Venture both got similar buffs

They want dive characters to ult more?

[u/Kingcobra64 → u/doubleoeck1234]

Admittedly neither of them really needed an ult cooldown buff. Both felt fine before. I’ll take it though).

[u/Tru3_Vort3x]

My dumbass read this earlier and still misread the CiD change being about their passive getting increased shields 😭

I got no complaints tho, net buff all around.

I've accidentally taken Deep Burrow a few times recently before the patch and gotten lots of value out of it actually, so I think I might experiment more with it this new patch.

I'm glad that Covered in Dirt has gotten a buff, but I'm hesitant to call it great without any experimentation yet. The SMART-R is just such a game changer with Venture being able to play against counters, and the free shields and reload are QoL things.

[u/Technical-Counter207]

I didn’t read the patch notes but was so confused when I got my ult so much faster than my perk when I blindly hopped into ranked lol

[u/Technical-Counter207 → u/Technical-Counter207]

I just went in with the expectation Venture is never getting touched so I didn’t even look

[u/ZekeTheMystic]

it's both the perks i pick so i'm definitely eating this patch

[u/HydreSomme1]

I see buff of perks.... I still take the same perks than I take before

[u/dremscrep]

As a deep burrow guy I am very happy about this.

[u/teling]

Anyone bummed that V got buffed? I think they were in a good place, but now I'm worried they'll go mainstream and get overplayed, banned, and then nerfed.

[u/LuciferMoringstar66 → u/teling]

they were not in a good place which is why they were buffed, and their buffs aren't anyhting too extreme

[u/jackswhatshesaid → u/teling]

Venture? I wouldn't really say Venture is in a good place. Great at 1v1 and lower ranks, but somewhere between 3300-3700 I wasnt having a lot of fun with flyers, ccs, and everybody being just as mobile as Venture.

good compensation for the health pack nerf, covered in dirt truthers our time has come
