What they share:
- Spiderverse evade counter
- buff consumption+regen
- many unique permanent buffs
- massive base HP
- reroll last buff on heavy
- immune to powerdrain against techs
What only Venom has:
- heal from every eaten buff
- gives bleeds on crit attacks
- gets buffs faster
- always starts with Klyntar buff on (so ignore Spiderverse evade from start)
What only VP has:
- eat more than one buff on each SP1 hit (so if enemy has 2 armor and 1 precision, he CAN eat 1 of each on every SP1 hit)
- eaten armors give crazy regen, however other buffs just give his personal buffs faster
- better personal buffs
- massive bleeds on SPs+bleed empowering buff on heavy
- gives degen against bleed immune
- many helpful synergies with pretty good champs
So overall they are pretty similar, but as an owner of 5/65 Venom and 6r2 VP, i can say I use them both. Venom regens more, but VP can handle more buffs. Also VP's kit is more fun to play I'd say.
Venom
- Armor Break on heavy (KM, Emma, all sorts of nodes);
- SP1 nullify and regen for each buff;
- Bleeds on basic hits (you can easily kill opponents without ever knocking them down);
- Armor Up buff (havok, VP can do this too but he's much less reliable);
- Access to "normal" buffs like cruelty and precision (they interact well with some nodes);
- True Strike and Unblockable specials while opponent is below 18% HP (perfect for IMIW);
- better damage than VP for shorter fights, lose on long fights.
Venompool
- his Klintar Buff isn't removed by incinerate like Venom;
- his SP1 removes buffs, doesn't nullify it (great for Angela, CW);
- his SP1 also removes more buffs, but only regen from armor up;
- Access to degen makes him better against robot (and bleed immune with synergy);
- Shock and Armor break immunities against tech champions are really useful, and you can take advantage of them (HB, EMP node);
- Additional Immunity to Incinerate against techs and Stun Immunity/havok counter with synergies (the last one isn't very reliable for havok but still an option, Venom is better in my opinion);
- higher damage than Venom in longer fight, lose on short fights.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but you really understand their difference only once you have them both ranked and you start asking yourself who could be the best for a particular fight/path. I have both as 5* at R5 and I'm happy to have them ^_^
