He helped me a lot in my Cavalier run and without him I wouldn't have been Cavalier.
So CMM is nowhere near to him at least for me.
May be in future content he will not be viable but still he will breeze through the monthly uncollected EQ.
CMM pros
absorbs several different types of energy debuffs
hits like a mac truck
poison immune
solid suicide-friendly champ (especially when awakened)
unblockable specials when ramped up
can armor break on basic attacks
counter-heavy stuns
power gain with charges
SP1&2 does true damage
pretty solid prestige
even with class disadvantage, many mystic champs have a lot of energy attacks = quicker stacks of charges
CMM cons
semi-reliant on Fury synergy
Need to take some block hits/damage (or takes time) to build up to max stacks, and must work to continuously maintain
Corvus pros
glaive immunity - immune to coldsnap, bleed, frostbite, and shock
if awakened, can survive at 1hp (level 1 revives & no potions, anyone?) - makes for amazing/cheap AQ path clears
can convert all armor ups to armor breaks with one parry
can parry/stun champs like iceman, emma frost, BPCW, etc
all hits are guaranteed crits, even through blocks
can gain true strike for those evade/autoblock defenders (synergy required)
incredibly amazing suicide-friendly champ
Once ramped up with charges, no need to "maintain" like other champs
unblockable sp2
Corvus cons
to obtain true strike, relies on proxima synergy
if you can't drop the opponent within 20 hits of the glaive, suffers significant DPS loss
may or may not have the right lineup in a quest to obtain necessary/enough charges (this is seldom the case, though)
ebony-maw hard counter; unable to beat him 99.9% of the time
few soft counters out there now too with nova, sinister, and man-thing (not impossible, but more difficult than most other matchups)
I think that covers mostly everything. So it really depends on what you need or where you need it.
Sometimes Corvus is better, sometimes CMM is better, and "Someone else is" better too, although that makes no sense as a response when asked to choose between two champs.
I find myself using Corvus for properly stacked IMIW for the most part as in 6.2+ I’ve found his reach isn’t quite there without boosts. In terms of his other bits of utility- True stroke/immunity etc. I’ve found the immunity isn’t so valuable in 6.3 as I can’t close a fight in one cycle and for Truestrike I use ghost single hit combos as she covers far more of the game as a whole.
Also seems like Kabam actively avoid giving Corvus more than 3 charges on a path now
(Personal opinion, why bother with 12s of indestructible when you can outright cheat death totally? Saves potions too since he’s as good at 1.65k or 20% life, arguably even better if you have Courage, compared to full.)
