VENOM OR CARNAGE?

In light of the recent buffs to Venom and Carnage, who do you guys think is the better champion?

Comments

Carnage got a lot more fun to play than Venom, but objectively and utility wise, he's a poor man's Blade. Venom is more versatile, has regen, and counters champs like IMIW when it counts.

Timed fights - venom.
Untimed fights - carnage.

Carnage Ramp Up is 10× Faster He Got Power Gain as par as Hayprion He Got An Insane Damage And Bleed and Kabam Improved Him More

I am comparing the original beta Carnage to this new release. This updated Carnage, compared to the beta, has:
a max 1636.36 physical resistance mutation up from 1333.3
a max 1636.36 block proficiency mutation up from 1333.3
25% chance to refresh a bleed, up from 20%
Armor break of 1333.33 up from 666.67
Unblockable specials

He's Good For RTL and Lol And Longer Quest

I will Rank 5 My Carnage

Better than Venom

Venom appears to have much greater utility & damage output in fights less than 100 hits, making him much better for AW, AQ & General Questing in my opinion. Also has a much chunkier Health Pool.

Venom is better overall and has great utility but Carnage is more fun to play

I think this is kinda “Corvus vs Proxima” again

One had the utility and more immediate damage for shorter fights (and yes they are short!)
The other gets the branding of “LoL potential” praised for being good for those really long fights

Overall Venom is a bit more exciting. Easy ramp up, bit of regen here and here, and of all else fails the Sp2 is lethal. Fury and precision mix for some destructive bleed damage and getting armor or resistance isn’t too bad, but do stay away from cruelty if possible. Loves to fight spiders and doesn’t mind IMIW all that much either.

Carnage is technically stronger than Venom but that’s like saying Star Lord is stronger than Sparky. Both are true statements, but Sparky and Venom get fights over quick and dirty without needing to wait for the ramp up to properly wreck havoc
