Right-click Venge is perfectly legit. But she has kiting problems with her short attack range and low movement speed so she's slightly less good than other carries. If you want to play safe lane Venge or mid Venge why not, but generally carries with better mobility are better picks e.g I'd rather have a Morphling or something instead.
It's not bad it's just not as good as other carries so that's why she's played exclusively as a utility support.
Besides Icefraud is really going purely towards that utility/feeding support route with Venge. When you see this negative Vengeance Aura for example, it really encourages swapping defensively to save allies.
At least playing Venge mid as a ganker/snowballing carry is a fun way to play her. Right now I think Venge is one of the most boring heroes in the game because all she does is swap out her cores when they get focused, that's it. I kind of miss the time when Venge was one of the most aggressive initiators in the game and not just a "feed to win" walking swap.
I hope Icefrog regognizes that playing a farming/snowballing Venge is really fun and buffs that way of playing her. Right now she's a pretty bad solo mid because she has no lane control and not good enough to be a safe lane carry. Give her something that makes her a good mid hero, anything, it'll only affect pubs anyways :)
Its really obnoxious and annoying to see. you could just edit your post. double posting makes the thread clumped up with posts. this is kinda like necro-ing. nobody likes it.
While I also dislike double posts, I dislike people pointing it out even more, unless they are moderators and/or it's occurring constantly. I actually find that behaviour to be more obnoxious.
Additionally, what could have been skimmed over and not brought attention to has now created a 5 post comment chain about double posting. So while you were trying to reduce forum clutter, you've actually encouraged more.
the weakness of carry venge is that she has low range, and slow farming speed. so you kinda need a dominator, but that is a really passive item.
but probably the biggest reason is her ult, it doesnt make much sense on a carry hero.
still you can do it in pubs and i kinda want to try it sometime soon. :P
I don't think I have ever lost to a "carry" Venge - it's just not a good way to go. Slow farming, abilities aimed at mid game and low range. Good stat-gain though.
but probably the biggest reason is her ult, it doesnt make much sense on a carry hero.
Swap out the enemy carry, pop BKB, and murder the enemy supports.
If you use swap purely offensively as an initiation/positionning skill for ganking and initiating teamfights, it's actually a great skill to have on a carry. It gets you into the right position to right-click.
Defensive swap is so lame actually. Offensive swap is much cooler and it's great on a carry. Swap to kill not to feed.
Pls Icefraud make Venge mid viable <3
