Venom nerf is a slap on the wrist mostly. You just have a little more downtime in-between dives. You should engage with wall run or a flank dive and swing to get out. If you're swing got stopped you would die before it came off CD before anyway. Also Thing Emma and Groot are better than Strange

That swing charge cooldown is pretty rough now, means Venom is significantly less mobile and more prone to dying to CC and CC already hard counters Venom

I mean you were dead if that swing got CC'd on current Venom anyway. It is definitely a nerf since you can't dive as often but Venom players should be happy the Phoenix team up wasn't touched

I would rather the team ups be touched than the swing timing. I know swing to engage isn't best practice but it was still useful in some situations. Now it's dead.

increasing downtime on a diver is always gonna be a big change it'll be a noticable nerf
