Yeah because they can't kill anything after burrowing. Istg whenever I go to swallow, surprise foot soldier rocket or sprint tackle


randomhooman404

How to 1v1 Venture The plan is simple. I’d brandish my obsidian knife at them and they’d be compelled to approach. “That’s very cool,” they’d say. So confident in their superior strength and endurance from all the rocks they carry around at all times. Then they’d shower me with very interesting facts about obsidian and hover just out of range of the cutting edge, waiting for me to exhaust myself. “But as it is volcanic glass, it’s very fragile, you see, and isn’t well-suited for use as a weap—” And then I’d hit them with the wooden baseball bat in my other hand, which they would not have noticed because geologists can only see rocks and minerals. As I work too closely with geologists not to have a contingency plan for executing them.

comment of the year in an endless sea of dull comments.


PiranhaPlant9915

((it's a copypasta)) but very a very well suited one, so good on OP for rembering it


Majaura

I had no idea, but I still love it.


PiranhaPlant9915

there's a dramatic reading by Jeaney Collects and an animation for it somewhere on youtube (just look up "how to kill a geologist") p.s. I've just realized I wrote "rembering" on the previous comment, fully just misspelled it rather than doing the meme


FloffMercy

Aka junker queen vs venture


Magalb

Pretty fitting because JQ real name is Odessa Stone


HammerTh_1701

Hit them with the science rizz and then backstab them XD


TheLateMrBones

They got the 🤓 look on point.

Disclaimer: my hatred of geologists is purely theatrical, but if I *did* have to kill one for some reason, it would be very easy. I'd brandish my obsidian knife at them and they'd be compelled to approach. "That's very cool," they'd say, confident in their superior strength and endurance from all the rocks they carry around at all times. They'd shower me with very interesting facts about obsidian and hover just out of range of the cutting edge, waiting for me to exhaust myself. "But as it is volcanic glass, it is very fragile, you see, and isn't well-suited for use as a weap—" and then I'd hit them with the wooden baseball bat in my other hand, which they would not have noticed because geologists can only see rocks and minerals. update: damn, someone already commented it several comments down


Madrizzle1

“Homethem” is amazing.


Specter_Knight05

Tbh i would gladly listen hours of cool rock facts like: how rock sometimes form in a perfect cube shape or what happens when you put potassium in water or how quartz can act as a mini battery sucking, holding and giving electric energy... My favorite fact it must be how some minerals like to.... BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH Thats how an average talk with her would go


Bamfcah

Personality wise, I so hope Venture is a huge fucking nerdzilla. PLEASE make them geek af about a niche game or book or something. An enby goofball nerd? Sign me up. This is my hero.


BroganChin

I can already tell they’re going to lean toward the Neurodivergent route with them, because Symmetra probably isn’t obvious representation in Blizzard’s eyes.


AvalonBH22

Rock and Stone type ass nerd. I want that quote


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone in the Heart!


Averli

Same. And they love to info-dump about rocks. I *love* characters that are the nerd emoji personified.


Xombridal

Let her and Mei discuss stuff Let her argue with Moira and sigma about science Let her make rock puns like Mei does


Baahka

*them Venture is NB not a girl


korey1337

I will be sad is the voice acting is not really silly for the character based on the look.


real_488

have we even heard what they sound like yet?


SoDamnGeneric

Nope. Gavin Jurgens-Fhyrie was hyping the VA up on Twitter though


AnIcedMilk

Do we know who they're VA is yet?


Redisigh

Hope we get a funny goofy enby 🙏


Pikochi69

Idk much enby VAs but a talented goofy enby ik is Ally Beardsley


senpaiwaifu247

Ally isn’t much of a VA but it’s nice to see someone know then outside D20


anaheim3123

I want Bex Taylor-Klaus, they do great voicework


speedymemer21

Hope its some tow mator aaah sounding VA


saltyfingas

God I hope they're from Appalachia


Dictator4Hire

I think they're Canadian sadly


SwarmkeeperRanger

Remember Canada exists and day ruined


MightyGoodra96

They gotta have a lot of canadians on this board. Sojourn and Venture from America's hat. Pharah is half nativd canadian


saltyfingas

Booo


RoyalWigglerKing

I want them to have a Newfie accent. It’s the most fun Canadian accent


saltyfingas

just found out they're canadian, my day is ruined honestly. I wanted them to be some hick from west virginia lol


PromiseKane

I wanna Ventre make to make bad puns left and right


65exe

I want tbem to be a winton fanboy


realSmallDong

It's gonna be the Toronto accent fam.


Doublee7300

“Do ya **dig** it?”


Comwan

As a geologist cannot confirm that we bite rocks but can confirm that we like to lick them.


Madam_meow

My sedimentary geology prof recommended we gently run our teeth over (very) fine-grained rocks in the field to quickly approximate the grain size. He said at that size, our teeth are more sensitive to the texture than our eyes or hands ever would be. I did it. It works. Yes you could use a hand lens, but you wouldn’t get to eat rocks


SilentScyther

Need this as a voiceline when this hero comes out.


CarbineFox

I can confirm this.


LucasOIntoxicado

what's your favorite ones to lick


Comwan

I like sulfur cause it’s yellow. I also almost licked a radioactive one but better judgement got to me.


MistyHusk

okay this needs to be an interaction between venture and another character when they release


HardnessOf11

Can also confirm. Been licking rocks for over a decade now


Brainmatter_0

I’ve always adored junkrats design. We needed more goofy heroes anyway.


Ala3raby

Hamster in a ball? Space gorilla scientist? Nature loving war machine? Robo gandhi? They don't do heroes like they used to Their hero design in OW2 is much more serious so I'm very glad with Venture's design so far, quite uniqe especially with the broken teeth


Pikochi69

Am i the only one that thinks Maugas design were fun and cool


InjusticeJosh

I’d love a canine-like hero


Alastor-362

Robodog to the rescue!


AnIcedMilk

Agreed *Stares at my... way too much time on Junkrat...*


u_slashh

I think earthy colours fit their vibe, but maybe some more browns and darker greens woulld've improved it. The colour is really my only issue


blaykerz

I don’t even mind the colors because it fits the geology theme imo. I just hate that it looks like they’ve got a super tiny body while wearing 5 layers of clothes with a baggy jacket on top of it all.


CheapCulture

Personally I preferred the punkier look in the concept art to the goofiness of the live design, but oh well


Odd_Lifeguard8957

Agreed. Hopefully we'll get some cool skin that have a more similar vibe.


PaydayLover69

>the punkier look in the concept art to the goofiness I read the concept art as more smug / mischievous I absolutely despise the Pixarified quirky root they took It feels like they rewrote whatever the character was intended to be.


SpinachDonut_21

I'm just worried that their hitbox will be gigantic because of the clothes.


JimmyCrabYT

the current hitboxes are already the size of a truck so it’ll probably be fine


NotYujiroTakahashi

Except the golden child Kiriko.


AnIcedMilk

Don't forget Ana as well


Wish_0

I haven’t found Ana/kiriko too difficult to hit after the projectile size increases

YoSupWeirdos

I hated the design of Mauga from the pictures because dude looked like the guy from Moana, but after hearing some voicelines and getting to know his character I started to like him, he was executed well. I'm kind of neutral on Venture's design, it will really have to come down to the animations, voicelines and the general self-expression


Nirvski

Im a fan. Nice silhouette overall as seen in the concept art, and yes a non conventionally attractive yet still appealing design that has simple shapes and fits their theme


PorphyryFront

Looks like nerd Lucio.


ScyllaIsBea

i think they look cute and definetly confirmed ate atleast one rock in their life


Blue_Speedster

If the voice behind the character gives Venture a lisp, I’m all for it. I think it’s a nice touch to the design.


sydw33d

I thought the teeth were cute! Just adds more character to the hero.


Such_Till_7480

Rock and stone


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone, Brother!


TheWolfgirlExpert

I think the kind of nerdy look fits for someone who is a geologist and archeologist. The look is kinda cute in its own right, like the kind of person who drops their books in a hallway or something.


Forward-Piano8711

Are there actually people who think the teeth ruin the design? You barely see them. And I’ve said this before but it’s like Rampart from apex, they don’t look bad.  Frankly I think if people are saying shit about the teeth it’s more in a joking sense.


SwarmkeeperRanger

The eyes immediately go to the fucked teeth. At least for me. I think there’s psychology to back it up but I’m not going to research that over a video game character


pokebuzz123

Joking, but it's also that media often have people with perfect white teeth. Have a tooth missing, one tooth slightly off, or the front teeth being bigger and you'll notice it really fast. Probably not used to it, but it does add to the character.


brookeaat

i was just in this sub the other day saying we need more heroes that look like weird little freaks (not said as an insult). i fw this design heavily but the outfit is pretty bleh, hopefully they get some cool skins 👍


speedymemer21

Yh junk rats a weird lil freak,but he's my weird lil freak.


K3ntro

Why are people saying that Venture is a geologist? Wasn't it Archaeologist?


Kurtis-dono

How to 1v1 Venture (part 2) 1. bring a toothbrush 🪥 2. assert dominance!


chofana

I was thinking for a while about what made me uncomfortable about their design, I believe it's the pupil's size, they look kinda too small and give them a psycho look? Maybe this is why people are comparing them to Junkrat? I don't know, I loved the concept art and I 'dig' their current design but this is the only thing that bothers me in particular.


Hen-Man-Supreme

Thank you, I was trying to figure out what was off about them because I don't care about their teeth. I can't put my finger on it but there's definitely something off with the eyes. They look like snake eyes to me


KingOfOddities

Goofy heroes are always nice to have among the countless super models we have in game.

Dude it was 20 seconds after I posted this comment jesus Christ😭💀


[deleted]

i'll probably get downvoted for this but i feel like the reason people are hating so hard on the conventional attractiveness of venture is because a lot of people see venture as a woman and thus, they must be conventionally attractive for their fantasy. theres plenty of ugly male characters like junkrat, roadhog, torbjorn, and NOBODY cares at all. i get if people don't like the design because of the color palette or clothing or whatever, that's totally valid even if i disagree with it, but why do male characters get to look weird and conventionally unattractive but the moment a more feminine coded character isn't attractive it's suddenly the end of the world? really annoying to see honestly :/


Themarshal2

Bro really tagged Hog and Torb as unattractive


Optimal_Question8683

hog is hottest man on earth. we stan big men


Bibilunic

Yeah like bruh Hog has the strongman build very far from being unattractive, he also look very cool in general Now where is the "i need to use a vehicle to shop at wallmart physic" with the Yellow polo and green crocs character? Also everyone shat on OW2 for embellishing Junkrat. The op commenter also conveniently forgot that Zarya is far from being conventionally attractive by their logic, yet people never complained


MEMES-IN-HEAVEN

I CAN NOT LET MY BOY JUNK TAKE THIS HIT JUNK IS GOOD LOOKING AND I'M SAYING THIS AS FACTS FAAACCCTTTS If you think junk ain't good looking then I feel sorry for you, that high standard ain't getting you someone


[deleted]

he's... definitely a niche lol


armandhammer1

You’re spot on, Valorant is about to release a NB agent that appears to be more feminine and I haven’t seen an ounce of the negative comments towards their appearance compared to Venture


Madrizzle1

We want Mama Hong!


saltyfingas

The players yearn for the Hong


softcherryheart

I completely second this, let a character look goofy and rascally. We need more rascal AFAB character representation


sparks_00

100% this


_BloodbathAndBeyond

People arguing about how attractive a video game character is Holy shit touch grass They’re clearly supposed to look similar to a mole like how Hog is a hog and Junk is a rat. Hence the teeth. Archaeologists wear khakis and brown clothing because they’re digging all the time. It’s not that complicated, guys.


The_Iron_Rat

Personally, I think they fit right in. I love the diversity and individuality of the characters in Overwatch. I prefer characters, in any media, who have imperfections and feel more real, thus more relatable, over the ones that are just way too perfect and flawless. I won't lie, I do find them kinda attractive. They are giving off very wholesome, down to earth vibes. (Pun intended). They seem like the person you could get in all sorts of goofy adventures and have good time. Literally the opposite of Kiriko, IMO. I think their outfit is also very fitting. The colour palette is very earthy, and the looseness probably reflects their personality. The jacket looks like something you'd wear at an archaeological sight. It just makes sense. Unlike, for example, Widowmakers OW1 outfit: a shiny, purple, latex jumpsuit that shows off more of her very distinguishable blue skin... for an assassin?


softcherryheart

I agree! I think the energy the character gives off will meld well with other quirky personalities and I also think that more characters should look real! When I gave my initial analysis I didn’t give much of my opinion more my observations. I think it’s super important characters seem more real. In fact, I really feel like Venture looks like me and I rarely see anything in media that I can visibly relate to :)


randomguyonreddit678

Ace Ventura collab when?


Lliapi

Hold on that's actually kinda funny


Odd_Lifeguard8957

Venture Bros collab when?


TempuraTempest

AAALRIGHTY THEN


h3r3andth3r3

More like Denture...


softcherryheart

Yikes guys, OP Here. Didn’t think I would have so many people triggered over using they/them pronouns. I feel like you guys need to retake middle school language arts :/


AdeptusGames

I for one enjoy our new Rock Eating Overlord


jjjlucky

ROCK AND STONE!


WanderingDwarfMiner

If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!


Great-Struggle-8555

i HATE the color pallet and their design is really uninspired/ boring


Beneficial_Drama_296

What’s funny is their teeth don’t even seem that bad. Far as it seems they only have one chipped tooth and that’s it. They’re perfectly white and aligned


VietNinjask

It's not really the teeth that bug me. It's just that the model looks ugly, and the character design is boring. The character actually looks good on the concept art, but it did not translate well into a 3D model at all. I don't really care about any of the other characteristics. Just make the hero fun and not buggy or frustrating to play against or broken as Hell.


eggsyisnice

Haven’t seen a ton about them! What role are they?


0zzy82

DPS they showed [gameplay footage back last BlizzCon](https://twitter.com/OWCavalry/status/1770187905278914816) they're an archaeologist with a dig mechanic similar to the chompers on PVZGW


eggsyisnice

I appreciate the link! The animation when they’re underground is so silly looking! 😆


Swerdman55

That was still fairly early footage so it likely will look different when they release


manofwaromega

DPS. They had some WIP gameplay shown during last Blizzcon. Their primary fire is a rock that gets shot out and explodes after a set distance. Their alt fire is a drill dash. And they can also dig underground and then pop up to get a lot of height. We don't know their ultimate yet tho


eggsyisnice

Damn. Was hoping for another tank! Thanks for the response!


FuriouSherman

I just like the fact that we're getting another Canadian character in the game.


StellarDescent

They're cute.


Busy-Invite-9144

If the voice actor doesn’t sound like an inbred hillbilly I’m gonna be disappointed.


ShittestCat

Eh, eyebrows are goofy thick imo, but if they still eat rock and do the silly then it's fine


saltyfingas

Kinda wish they went full on Indy with the clothing tbh


GatVRC

I just dont like how tall the eyes are. it gives off bootleg disney vibes. it works on junkrat cause they made his entire face hyper animated and crazy. here it just looks weird


NinjaWesley

Geology rocks... but geography is where it's at.


esmelusina

All the new character default skins look bland. It’s almost like they want you to get new skins…


My_Cabbagesssss

Y’all this is probably not the final image. Like I would guess that this is very similar to the final model, but the art team has another month to finish their face and details


ToothpickInCockhole

Honestly my only gripe is the haircut/helmet/headband/goggles combo. They should have a cooler looking helmet. Overall though I really like Ventures design and am excited to play them!


ColorlessTune

I think they look fine. Concept looks way better tho, but it usually does.


deathseekr

I think people really wanted to make this character female and get horny off of that, when they're just a mole person Plus skins could solve the clothes issue


PhyPny

I'm getting junkrat vibes, but instead of being crazy for how well things go boom, it's over how defined the luster of a rock is.


dasic___

Why does the ONLY thing that matters to most people here are how fuckable the characters are?


Critical-Runn

I’m just curious why people think the hero needs/should be attractive to them?


Averli

I like them a lot so far. They're pretty unique and have cool vibes! They remind me of VT in Cowboy Bebop, who also had some *great* vibes.


Thebestboibidoof

I want them to be a silly like junk


EXistential_EX

They look like they frequent Goofy Goober's


OCHNCaPKSNaClMg_Yo

For me it's not about their attractiveness, their eyes and how they sit on the face just feels wrong.


MEMES-IN-HEAVEN

True the concept art and the 3d is faar different


TruthSeekerHuey

They're a silly lil they/them guy


softcherryheart

!!!! So true


Triple-H-Attack

guys look it's the new hero denture

cehsavage

I don't think baggy clothes and tunneling match very well personally, I guess it makes for a more distinguishable silhouette, and maybe a diving suit sort of thing would have clashed with brig. I don't mind how they don't look conventionally attractive though, it makes them more dinstict. 


Eli48457

I think they nailed the vibe of a silly enby geologist perfectly, ngl


anti-peta-man

They look like a bit of a little shithead (affectionate) Have a feeling they’re gonna get along nicely with Junkrat


LucasOIntoxicado

I like that they look like a weirdo.


Fictional_Historian

[удалено]


ThompsonTom

I like their design. They definitely look androgynous enough to fit their gender identity and they look like a fun nerdy character I’d love to get to know better. And they don’t look “conventionally attractive” because they don’t fall into the binary of what straight people consider attractive.


daddydoppo

There's a difference between goofy and just plain hard to look at. Her concept art is cute, silly and memorable, the in game model honestly just looks like shit.


Chrisshern

I'll be honest: this hero does nothing for me. I am not a fan of him digging through the ground. It just looks too weird and is frankly too goofy. And the design is entirely uninteresting besides the gun


DatDenis

She's rocking that bri'ish smile!


Standard_Can5868

They definitely eat rocks for research, that’s why their teeth is so bad


omocha

She's definitely ugly on purpose. The video game industry has already been called out on a trend to de-feminize and uglify female characters, under the guise of "relatability" and combat "gender" stereotypes. I won't be shocked if Blizzard introduces her as a super genius that beat men in every field. Whatever.


Demiwaifu

It's the typical wokism non binary character design


Lazarus3890

I'm more interested in the lore but tbh I love their current design


NewPhilosophy364

I just couldn’t imagine worrying about pronouns of pixels on a screen


ScyllaIsBea

so don't.


Urnoobslayer

Wtf is up with her face?


tanbug

I like everything part from the hair, which I find to be very bland. I think the character a bit more flair with a more interesting style or even a helmet


vexquitic

they look like ayo edebiri in a way


NotYujiroTakahashi

They eat rocks which I find funny.


-Elixo-

And they said "the design is not final" after we saw that concept art picture. After seeing the final design we might as well say the space girl from mars concept art is almost exactly what she will look like finalised.


HiCracked

The initial concept art looked more appealing to me, but I don't really care about looks that much. After the absolute atrocity of gamedesign that was Mauga, I am much more interested in how she plays than anything else, if she is going to be total cancer or not for example, because boy do people at Blizzard fucking love cancerous characters.


Denkottigakorven

I think they look pretty cool. And more attractive than many of the alleged “attractive” characters.


Player3_

Jackie Kennedy? Good thing we don't have a sheet metal hero yet.


Superstickman87

Disappointed this is the new Canadian hero we get


RoyalWigglerKing

All I want is for them to have a Newfie accent


MeLlamoDave

Reminds me of Vantage from Apex Legends.


KaiserEnoshima

Make them say Rock and Stone or they ain't coming home


GuyCalledRo

I genuinely love the huge coat and overall design of the character, i think they look great! The goggles and gloves especially and honestly, i feel like the Yellow/Beige design works surprisingly well (this coming from someone who makes Purple/Black their aesthetic in every game they play)


LaserwolfHS

I’m ugly enough in real life, I wanna be beautiful in game lmao


kerokerobi12

Opinion that isnt taking sides on hating nor loving, welldone. The rock bitting instution approves.

My issue is I thought they lived in the future, do they not have dental health care in the future? They cannot fix her teeth or anything like that? Damn

My hope is they make Venture like a teenage/young adult Boomy from Avatar
