Aarkus vs Medusa

I find this really confusing as on paper, aarkus is much better right? Higher damage, evade counter, tenacity, power gain. And yet, in actual play medusa feels much much better.

Thoughts?

    Aarkus
    Medusa has ease of use when it comes to armour shatter. Aarkus is the better overall champ though

    Medusa
    Personal preference, but Medusa gets armor shatter faster if you're looking to shut down robots.

    Aarkus

    Medusa is better for a couple of reasons
    - Poison immune
    - Easy access to 3 furies (buffed up counter
    - Easy access to 3 debuffs (diss track counter)
    - Can keep armor shattered on the entire match (Aarkus cannot)
    - Very easy access to armor shattered (2 mediums then sp1, unlike Aarkus)
    - Higher damage for the most part until Aarkus is fully ramped up
    - Doesn't need synergies

    Vision (Aarkus) is a great champion, but just not as good as Medusa.

    Most of your reasons apply to both of them,
    Vision is a better buffed up counter as his power gain buffs don't fall off unlike medusa's furies
    Aarkus also stacks a lot more debuffs so he takes advantage of despair.
    He also doesn't need synergies
    While he doesn't have immunities he has tenacity and ignores 80% of power drain effects.
    Easy access to coldsnap let's him counter evade champs.
    He works great in abyss for killmonger and tech champs since you can rely on sp3 and heavies for his damage
    Medusa is the better armour shatter champ but aarkus has more going for him
