Snapfire vs Venomancer

How this matchup plays

Getting hit by a Venomous Gale is often a death sentence, but Firesnap Cookie provides a perfect escape. Snapfire can force an ally out of the slow and away from the follow-up damage, which undermines Venomancer's entire ganking pattern. Beyond that, Snapfire's burst damage from her shotgun and ultimate can often kill a target before Veno's poison has time to do its work. Venomancer wants to grind enemies down with sustained damage over time, and Snapfire's kit is built to counter exactly that by either bursting targets down or repositioning them to safety.

As the game goes on, this dynamic gets worse for Venomancer. His Plague Wards, meant to control vision and choke out areas of the map, are easily cleared from a safe distance by Mortimer Kisses. This forces Veno to play much more defensively and gives his team fewer safe places to farm. During teamfights, Snapfire can either initiate on the squishy Venomancer with a Cookie combo or save a key core who gets hit by Poison Nova. Veno has a hard time being effective when his primary targets can be instantly moved and his wards get wiped out for free.
