For poisons to be comparable to potions, you need a direct counter example. Currently, "negative potions" are useless. Similarly therefore, "positive poisons" should be useless. However, from the ones I have done so far, there is a general trend developing that the "positive poisons" are more effective than the "negative poisons". The positives have exactly the same effect as the negatives, with the added bonus that they buff you as well. This makes the negatives pointless, as the positives are just outright more useful.

A better situation would be to give the positives a minor effect for a short duration, and remove the buff, making them essentially useless (as they should be), and to give the negatives a major effect for a long duration so that they are the "go-to" traits for poisons. You wouldn't expect a "poison" made from the Increase Spell Resistance trait to be more useful than one made from the Decrease Spell Resistance trait, but that is currently what we're seeing on PTS.
