super glad you are covering this game.. i can rest assured youll find andf showcase the best playstyles, just like you do in all games much love from california brotha
My favorite part of playing venom is getting 30k damage blocked and still losing 4 out of every 5 matches in both ranked and quick match, it's the best.
@@reee9904 yeah I’ll say I’ve had a jump in skill lately and have gone from bronze 3 to silver 3. Once you get a general idea of how the game works and how venom plays quick play becomes trivial and you aren’t really learning much anymore
It's fun with vemon cause you can actually be sneaky Initiate the first fight of the match without the opposition knowing where you are about to sky dive from lol use your wall run a lot! I dive DPS and support like it's no ones business it's fun having them rage lol..then go heal..sneak to the side do it all over again..once you hear the critical health sound you better press your tactical lol
i dont understand why venom would have a short-range burst rifle for his main attack, why wouldnt he be melee focused or have a big tentacle whip to swing around like magik's sword
Thoughts after playing as him & Adam since day one: - Change your manual swing control for him and Spider-Man; its beautiful. - Spidey/Peni team-up ability is highly effective. - As Adam, soul bond with Venom offers shared damage / healing. - Use walls/platforms to dive off instead of swinging immediately to save that.
Also you can spam quick melee in between each tentacle volley for close range enemies to output more dps. Don’t know how many times I’ve been attacking someone behind with my tentacles, while punching someone else that’s right in my face with quick melee for a double kill.
@@randallb2179 I was always just interested in Venom as a character, didn't know much of the story aside from "Bad guy Eddie doesn't like Peter" - learning more about the Symbiotes is pretty neat. Plus Venom has ALWAYS looked like the coolest Villain to me. Ultimate Spider-Man Purple-liquidy Venom? Sick.
Maybe its just me, but I think the Venom primary attack radius is too small, hitting consistent shots that actual hurt the enemies is like a chore, and because the lack of variety in close range attacks it makes it way too easy to just get REALLY CLOSE to Venom to kill him since being hit by him isn't likely. Slightly Increase the attack radius and he'll be more viable. Edit: I'll admit me saying this was partially due to lack of experience and skill, I've played for a few more days and can now land shots a lot more consistently, but I still do think that the attack radius is still a bit too small.
You can also combine Dive and Ensnare into a short swing, giving you some kind of heavy attack. You can interrupt the swing as soon as you press shift to shorten the distance. This generally flips all the enemies in the air, but it's only recommended to do if you are facing the enemy or have a solid heal.
I'm not a big fan of melee characters in games like this one but Venom has considerable range for his main attack and so i wanted to try him out.Plus he looks great in this game
i am venom otp and won 11 out of 12 ranked matches. its so funny if u have good sups. I stand there and tank.... and tank.... and tank. Most dmg blocked was 40k with 25 kills and 9 deaths
Can someone explain what I’m doing wrong everytime I play venom I feel like the whole enemy team is trying to kill me no matter why I’m at and I just feel like I’m getting targeted or is it because venom is a vanguard
That's the point of playing a vanguard. If they're targeting you, that means your duelists are free to decimate the enemy team. You need to find a way to survive or turn 6v1 into 2, 3, or 4 v 1
Fangiscool is right - Thats how venome "Tanks", he gets in peoples face and they focus him, rather than his team- giving his team opportunities to deal damage to their back side. Tip for venom: DONT use his swing to engage. Its nice in theory - Use web sling to get high, dive down, lash to people with his tendrils while doing damage, then pop shields and escape. In reality, youre using BOTH of your mobility options to engage, and against a half decent team youll be dead long before either is back off cooldown and youll die as you try to escape even with your shields. The fix: Use your wall climb to give you the height necessary to use frenzied arrival (his dive) and engage that way. This way when its time to escape, you have your web swing freely available to get out of there. This one thing alone makes venom much more consistent / reliable to play. Of course prioritize healers in the back line (venom has some high damage potential, especially because hes the only tank that can consistently do head shots), but if anyone is "ez pickings" get them as well - but if youve got 1 support running, and the other focusing on healing them to keep them alive- meaning they cant focus their team- You give YOUR team huge opportunity to make plays.
Everything but the fact that u keep reiterating "damage blocked", that really means nothing tho lol. Anyone can pick up Dr Strange or similar and block copious amounts of damage, that essentially means nothing other than people are focusing you. Damage and k/d is I suppose the stat tank players would look at, similar to dps, and minimal deaths
@@soumyosubhromukhopadhyay9727 yea mate i understand what you’re saying. if you think damage blocked (i.e. sustain and staying alive) isn’t important for a tank idk what to tell you
Damage blocked is LITERALLY what a tank is supposed to do. You should absolutely be focusing on that. If you’re not blocking damage that means the rest of your team is getting hit and you aren’t doing your job. That’s not hard to understand, high kills really isn’t a tank’s (especially venom) priority. You want to eat up damage from the enemy, dish out as much damage as you can (kill or not) and disrupt the enemy team in their back line as venom doesn’t really excel at preserving his team on the front line the way someone like Magneto would.
I mean a tank like Venom yea, but he's also supposed to die in a sense. Venom's like a really really strong and buff fly. He goes in and nakes the enemy waste their abilties, and then shields before dipping out. He's designed to do that so idk why you're saying Damage Blocked doesn't matter. Good K/D is fun and all, but that's not the point of him
I’ve been looking for help with the diving strike because it never comes out for me when I press the button. I haven’t managed to get it to work even once even though it’s always on my screen telling me to hit X
It’s a dive strike, meaning you need to be in the air first for you to actually use it. Either swing up then use it down on enemies, or hide up on a wall then use it
I wish you could enable a visual indicator for the max range of his primary. I struggle a little with intuiting that, and I'm finding myself *just* out of range.
idk im trying but im having no luck with him :/ i wanna main him because hes my fav character but tbh after just being steamrolled every game as him i think im tossing in the towel
I was the same way too bro but you have to play him more as a disruptor than a killer. Wall climb then dive their back line, force healers to focus on you then web sling your way out of there. If played right your team should have the upper hand and that’s when you go for kills
Yeah that’s usually how battlepasses work, but at least there no time limits for you to complete it just adds little missions for to do to get the stuff. I won’t pay for it since none of the skin interest me but I can see the appeal for someone that wants to encourage a great free to play game…
Idk why the devs made venoms autos those tendrils. That would fit carnage more wouldnt it? A slash attack with those big claw hands of his would have been a better animation. His ult is genuinely terrible too. Other than that, i love venom!
So one minute of base level info on venom followed by 8 minutes of gameplay. Am I missing something here? Where is the advanced tips and breakdown on how to play him?

Currently experiencing this now 😂
Idk I’ve been wrecking with venom, last game went 21-1. He’s devastating in the back line

@@reee9904 How can you dive backline without instantly geting 6vs1 scenaria and their whole team just rekt you??
i dont understand why venom would have a short-range burst rifle for his main attack, why wouldnt he be melee focused or have a big tentacle whip to swing around like magik's sword
Yeah I was like what am I missing where is my melee
This exactly, I can only assume they are saving this for carnage
Venom does have a standard melee option just press V
This was my exact sentiment for psylocke. She only uses her sword for her q ability.
@@Raglandguyand dash plus melee
Thoughts after playing as him & Adam since day one:
- Change your manual swing control for him and Spider-Man; its beautiful.
- Spidey/Peni team-up ability is highly effective.

- Use walls/platforms to dive off instead of swinging immediately to save that.
How do I change the manual swing control?
@ once you select a swinging character (venom for ex) it will say it under the controller/keyboard -> combat. Turn off easy swing
Any more tips?
Also you can spam quick melee in between each tentacle volley for close range enemies to output more dps. Don’t know how many times I’ve been attacking someone behind with my tentacles, while punching someone else that’s right in my face with quick melee for a double kill.
Nice I’ve been doing this too, I couldn’t tell if it was faster than just regular tentacles
oooo nice i didnt think of that, im gonna start doing that now. 👍
Venom is one of my favourite characters in marvel
Mine too!
I like playing him in the game. I never thought much about his story. Now I wanna go check out the movie.

Venom can melee like all other characters
@@mauvelofi4195 It doesn't do enough damage to be viable.
@ I’m saying if you can’t melee and escape back to use your primary that’s on you
One of if not the best tank in the game “he’ll be more viable”
@@praisethesun7255 Lmao what, Magneto and even Strange are easily better than him, same with Peni. Be so for real.

Venoms so good just wish I didn't get frozen and blinded everytime I dive lol 😂
Peni web then mantis stun then bucky grapple 😭
Not only gameplay, but the cosmetics of this character are awesome!
I can't wait to get anti venom the first chance I can!
The delay tactics go crazy. With a solid team you steam roll.
Like the tips bro!!!! And i never knew you could destroy loki healing
I started playing venom just for fun and i always stayed on ground and died alot, thanks to this video i kinda get how he's played now 🤩
Venom instantly became my main!
Do Mantis, she's so good. Absolutely love that you did Venom.
For real, Mantis is insane
Just started playing yesterday love the game and hands-down venom is my favorite character

Great video keep it up
Thanks for the guide, ive been loving thor rn
Venom works fantastic if you have a team that supports you
I am actually so keen to give Venom a try after watching this.
keep up good work mate!
Nice vid 😃
Thanks for the tips been using scarlet and venom a lot.
08:42 He looks at a replay of himself dying and thinks it's a teammate Bruce Banner holding the point for them🤣🤣
Ohh lmao , I thought that as well
I just started playing a today as of right now and the second I saw venom I thought: Oh screw it I'm playing venom. And I absolutely sick lol
i am venom otp and won 11 out of 12 ranked matches. its so funny if u have good sups. I stand there and tank.... and tank.... and tank. Most dmg blocked was 40k with 25 kills and 9 deaths

it does. a tank is supposed to be a brute and to ‘tank’ damage, letting other characters with lower health get hits in while they focus you.
@ClownManJones are we on the same page ? Don't think so

I think you should look into Necros, he’s the top spiderman player in this game and knows alot about characters
I'm here cause I suck at playing support and need to branch out of DPS, I gotta learn some new stuff 😅

I'm forever shooting at air lmao
I love this dive tank
Love venom, but i think his swing should at least get a 2nd charge
Venoms whole purpose is to leap in and distract the whole enemy team off the objective
I love venom favorite character rn tbh
I started marvel rivals 2 days ago and I enjoy it and I want the battle pass cause the skins are cool
idk im trying but im having no luck with him :/ i wanna main him because hes my fav character but tbh after just being steamrolled every game as him i think im tossing in the towel
I lose 4 out of 5 matches while playing him. If you don't have a dedicated healer it's gg
I was the same way too bro but you have to play him more as a disruptor than a killer. Wall climb then dive their back line, force healers to focus on you then web sling your way out of there. If played right your team should have the upper hand and that’s when you go for kills
I really thought Venom would be punching fools.
So with the battle pass you buy it then have to earn or buy coins to unlock what you've already paid for?
Yeah that’s usually how battlepasses work, but at least there no time limits for you to complete it just adds little missions for to do to get the stuff.
I won’t pay for it since none of the skin interest me but I can see the appeal for someone that wants to encourage a great free to play game…
Idk why the devs made venoms autos those tendrils. That would fit carnage more wouldnt it? A slash attack with those big claw hands of his would have been a better animation. His ult is genuinely terrible too. Other than that, i love venom!
Idk if it's just me or my team, but the damage and healing for lots of characters feels very inconsistent
His shield ability or his dps needs buffed
His attack animations is just tentacles, u would thimk he would use the claws also….
Question: is Venom good enough if you solo tank ?
for a solo team comp can work! need good healers to help especially when venom goes for reset play after a big fight
I saw someone does grappling instead of spider swing. Anyone knows how to do that?
cover dr strange next pls 🙏
the one star rating seems wrong, he actually takes a lot of skills
So one minute of base level info on venom followed by 8 minutes of gameplay. Am I missing something here? Where is the advanced tips and breakdown on how to play him?
Vemon was the first hero I played
commenting for the giveaway! You should cover some more strategists :D
idk what it is but whenever i attack with venom it never hits its the same with groots melee
i need that luxury pass fr
You need a healer basically stuck on you
That's how a tank works
I main tank on ow but playing tanks on this without role queue is insufferable
I play spiderman, and he is hard to play 😅
But very fun as well! And rewarding.
@@GamER_WIN yeah if you play well he is hard to catch.
I love venom he's my favorite :]

Venom is probably the easiest tank ans one of the strongest
I have the blue venom he’s great in this game
Jeff 4 life
Check out the Jeff video I went crazyyyyy
@ appreciate it! Love ya dude ❤️

Broken + annoying. Perfect combo.
Venom is the most annoying carachter in the game
So true..
Every time you think he is about to die, he suddenly has 1500+ HP
@@GamER_WINand after that you can swig away and get heal come back repeat ….love him 😂
I love how every single character in this game is either broken and/or absolutely annoying
Venom op!!!
His ultimate does terrible damage lol
dat cake tho
I think that venom isn’t a tank
He very much is lol
He can literally heal to 900 hp at any moment, he’s absolutely the tank
I hope I win the giveaway for the pass love your vids please keep posting
I want a battle pass
Venom really needs a better primary attack :(
what? his primary is stupid strong for a tank
Headshots with that attack do crazy damage. Use his secondary to wrap them up for easier targeting
Hey
Eyo
Thank u for the tips again now i have to try it 🫶🏼
Just started playing yesterday love the game and hands-down venom is my favorite character
