Venture
Close-range dive DPS who uses Burrow for invulnerability windows and surprising engages. Generates temporary shields from abilities, making them durable for their burst play style.
± avg is Venture's win rate on the map minus their average across maps, adjusted for each map's overall shift (every hero runs a point or so below their average on the open Hybrids), so it compares across maps and matches the map pages. Kit fit (✓✓ … ✗✗) rates how well Venture's abilities suit each map's mode and geometry — independent of the observed win rates. Pick a rank to see Venture's map numbers at your level.
