No, Venom was useless back then too because any unmodded armor ignoring weapon still vastly outdamamged it. And Miasma wasn't the best solely for armor ignoring, it did 1250 damage back when everything else did 1000. Except for Excalibur's Radial Javelin on Infested, because it was the only Serrated Blade ultimate in the game.

And even in your theoretical "infinite spores" scenario, even against level 1-3 enemies, with an unmodded Braton you'd kill a crowd much faster if you'd aim for weakspots instead of wasting your time aiming for the weak spores.

I get that people have fun with Venom because of its interesting mechanics. Sadly, the awful damage it puts out makes it worthless, even in low level gameplay. Any way you put it, Venom is useless, and using it simply wastes energy for the other skills you should be using.
