⚡ Season 8 Verdict
Venom remains a solid mid-tier Vanguard pick with moderate win rate stability at 47.6%, though his 8.3% pick rate suggests room for growth in Season 8's meta. His balanced kit provides consistent team fights, but he struggles to dominate the current landscape compared to higher-tier tank alternatives. Players seeking a reliable defensive anchor will find value, but meta-shifting counters limit his competitive viability.
