Best lane mates
These partners work well with this hero. Percentages show recorded match win rates for each pairing, not lane wins.
- 01DynamoKinetic Pulse knocks them up, and Singularity holds them still so you can finish the person who cannot move.47.2%
- 02McGinnisPower pairAlso an opponentTurrets add damage around the area McGinnis defends, and Spectral Wall can restrict enemy routes. Fight where the setup supports you while keeping a route around the wall for your own retreat.49.8%
- 03KelvinPower pairKelvin’s beam slows enemies and reduces their fire rate, making a shared target easier to pressure. Stay where his healing can help without grouping so tightly that one disable catches both players.49.2%
- 04SevenPower pairSeven can send Lightning Ball through contested ground and use Static Charge to threaten a delayed stun. Focus the marked enemy when safe, while staying ready for them to move away from the ball.49.8%
- 05PaigePower pairPlot Armor can protect you before you take damage, while Captivating Read restricts enemies who stay in its marked area. Attack while supported, but leave when the barrier breaks and the return damage becomes unsafe.50.2%
Worst lane opponents
These opponents present different threats in lane. Percentages show this hero’s recorded match win rate against each opponent, not lane wins.
- 01GravesHard counterGraves can pressure Venator from behind summons while Grasping Hands restricts his position. Clear the summons blocking useful shots and keep Gutshot for a hero who reaches him.39.5%
- 02VictorHard counterVictor may continue pursuing after Venator’s first control ends. Use a wall behind Victor for Gutshot’s stun and keep distance rather than relying on a trap alone.40.4%
- 03LashHard counterLash can reach Venator from above a ground trap. Watch the dive and keep Gutshot for his arrival, preferably with a wall behind Lash.44%
- 04McGinnisSoft counterAlso a strong mateClear turrets covering the route you need. If Spectral Wall blocks that route, break it with melee when safe or go around. Avoid trading shots while several turrets can hit you.41.3%
- 05BebopSoft counterKeep a trooper or solid cover between yourself and Grapple Arm. If the hook misses, attack before it returns. If Sticky Bomb is attached to you, get away from teammates before it detonates.48.5%
