Who is better overall? Corvus or Obsidian?

This debate has been going for a while now.
Both are great champs, but Cull Obsidian might be overpowering Corvus. Or is he?
Let me know who is better and why.
What I think:
Cull's damage is good, but Corvus has utility and can survive longer.

Cull's biggest weakness is that bad block and he's not suicide friendly. Now, the arguments against Cull can become lesser in consideration when he's ranked up. Maybe his health problem becomes less noticeable when he's higher ranked.
But not being suicide friendly is not the only problem. The problem is Cull becomes a bad option on nodes where the attacker bleeds out or poisons out 100%, which is a common node we're seeing nowadays. That's why Corvus and Omega Red remain Top 3 best attackers right now, because they're either immune or they benefit from these nodes.
In the long run, Corvus outlasts Cull easily. Not only does Corvus not die by damage over time, but if you have suicides on, Corvus can heal via willpower while not dying as long as he's got Glaive charges. I can't stress enough the number of times Corvus saves me from using revives or potions because of this.
I find Cull to be an exceptional glass cannon. If you know what you're doing and you know the incoming matchups in a quest, Cull can be the fastest clearer of content, even faster than Corvus and Ghost. This is because he refreshes Rout way faster than Corvus refreshes Glaive charges, that extra damage Cull gives is unavoidable, and his attacks go through autoblock and evade, which personally is better than Ghost's unblockable (that also needs synergy to happen). Lastly, if you max Despair, Cull's consistent way of armor breaking via Heavy makes him a much more consistent counter against nodes like Buffet, Overload, or that healing node Omega has in Map 7. A lot of difficult endgame content has to do with the defender constantly being able to heal back. Even Corvus has trouble going against RoL Wolverine.
Corvus' strengths really balance out Cull's weakness. Cull clears content faster than Corvus, while Corvus eliminates your worries on some of the really annoying nodes. Hop back and forth on the two so they both build charges.
