At least you have a 6*, that's at least a positive 😎. Plus, your avatar is Sabertooth and that's wicked cool. Also, you're part snake. Poisonous bad-to-the-bone snake that everyone is afraid of, so total plus there as well. Oh, and 1987 was a good year 👍

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I’ve pulled Sentinel (who I can’t stand), DD, Mordo, and now Thor Rag. I don’t have any 6* that can contribute to clearing content when I’m seeing accounts with duped KM/Void/IMIW, and multiple great 6*. RNG sucks so bad in this game.
Sentinel is an amazing defender, and IMO mordo is pretty underrated

Unfortunately my Sentinel is benched because my officer places his. Mordo is awful. Pathetic attack, low health, very limited utility. Unless you can teach me how to use him. He goes on defense but rarely gets a kill.
I think the tendency to put a lot of emphasis on the 6* pull skews the perspective. At this stage, they are a bit of a trophy unless you wind up with one of the few great ones. Reminds me of 5*’s when the first batch came out—I felt like I hit the jackpot when my first was SL. Fast forward about 2.5 years (and multiple AGs) and I finally duped him. What seemed awesome at first became a running joke.
In a perfect MCoC world, though, the 6* options would all have a reasonable degree of usefulness. When the treadmill is starting over, it’s always a good to feel like you aren’t actually running in place.

I tend to see it the other way around. I see 6* pulls as special 5* pulls that pop out of the crystal as 4/55s. So I consider all of them to be better than average. No 4/55 is totally valueless. The problem with many 5* champs is not that they are bad, but they aren't good enough to level to 4/55. At 3/45 they might as well be 4* champs.
I can't complain about my own 6* pulls: none "god tier" but all better than average. But what makes them good isn't just that they are better than average champions (Nebula, Sabertooth, Loki twice, Hulk Ragnarok), but that they are 4/55-caliber champions basically for free. Nebula, for example, is a champ I would consider an average 5* pull, but a very good 6* pull because of the ranking situation. Same with Sabertooth. I probably would not have prioritized ranking up Sabertooth to 4/55 as a 5* so he would have probably sat on the bench and show up occasionally for Iceman fights. But as a 6* he's a very strong questing champion specifically because I can get him to 1/25 for free and have essentially a 4/55 version running around for nothing.
Of course, I'm also an arena grinder so for me there's literally no such thing as a bad 6* pull (if it is new). But I do also use them all from time to time, and I could not say that about their equivalent 5* or 4* versions (even before I pulled the 6* version).
So I just pulled a 6* Thor Rag and just utterly pissed. This came right after pulling a HtD, Karnak, and Rhino from featured 5* crystals. I’m about done with this game.... again. I just need something positive about Thor Rag. Thor is one of my favorite characters but he’s absolute trash in this game. Hits weaker than Colossus and HB and has 0 utility. Please if anyone can give me any glimmer of hope about this pull or just confirm that I’ve pulled yet another trashy 6*.

As I said, I can't really complain (although I did complain a little about the Loki dup). In every case I personally consider those champions to be not top tier pulls, but situationally useful pulls. And situationally useful is still useful.
Sabertooth is a very good quester that eliminates Iceman as any kind of threat. And I literally only just got Ragnahulk last week so he's still got new car smell. But to be honest, the most fun I have with my 6* champs is trying to see if I can stack a 20 shock stack with Nebula and then double it with SP2. That never gets old.

I disagree that no 4/55 is totally valueless... My DPX and IF are pretty valueless. It's extremely hard for others to talk about 6* champs that they don't have, and until you personally experience not one, but two of the worst 6*, you can't complain too much

I pulled Loki twice.
Is Loki considered one of the worst? I never thought Loki was that bad. I wasn't trying to sound rude or anything, I just really struggle to find a situation where DPX or IF are actually good lol.
The basic crystal gets better and better with each new champ. Love the basic life. Open more crystals, thereby getting more champs, more good champs, and more dupes for 6* shards. Be patient. they will come.
This game is still about 5 stars. The best 5/65 5* are better than any duped 6* right now. More resources to rank up a 6* to rank 2, and no ability to acquire sig stones. I pulled Hela today. She’s useless for me, but she’s an immediate 4/55 equivalent for defense, questing, and nice arena points. Takes time.

First off, those are amazing 6* pulls. Their synergy potential with powerhouse 5* champs like Proxima, KM, Hela alone make them great pulls.
Second, while awakening Loki wouldn’t have been your first choice, he can be crazy good against buff-dependent champs. At your level, you may not need it, but that dupe bumps his prestige by about 700 points.
Third, you’re correct that ranking up the rough equivalent of a R4 5* happens “basically for free” (excluding the gold and iso). But obtaining the 6* doesn’t. As you note yourself, not all R4’s are created equal. That difference is magnified at the 6* level because they don’t come easily for most players.
Finally, if 6*’s could only be used in arena, then I would be more sympathetic to your argument. But that’s not how it works. The guy who walks into a R4 caliber Corvus or Domino or ST or Hulk Rags has a significant leg up on the guy who finds a R4 caliber DPX or IF.
I agree 100% with you @DrZola. Not one person could honestly say a 6* DPXF or IF is just as useful as a 6* Corvus, KM, CAIW, or ST. That’s just nonsense. Just as you would never use a 5* IF over a Corvus.
I just watched this. Every video I’ve seen has him just pinning WS in the corner and beating the **** out of him. It sounds like he suffers from the same problem that Jane Foster does too. It’s not really feasible to keep going to town on champs and keep chain stunning unless it’s Luke who has indestructible. Also I think it’s funny they acknowledge how poor of a champ Thor Rag is so he now has 3 synergies to boost his attack rating. Sad. He’s the God of Thunder for crying out loud.

Yeah I agree he is pretty weak... I have a duped 5* at r3 and I wish he was just a bit better because he is really quite fun to play with.
Okay, @V1PER1987 you want a positive? I think I can help:
I like Rags - one of my first 5/50s - and have played with him a lot, usually with Hulk synergy. Disclaimer: I don't have him as a six-star! And yes, obviously you could have done better; but you can only play with the champs you get, not the ones you want.
Overall, he's okay but not great if he's alone and unawakened; which yours is. However, even then if you can bait effectively and hold a combo (which with four six-stars in your roster, I assume you can!), you can easily (and repeatedly) get the biggest free surge of Power in the game - a free SP3 every 40 hits. Which is to say, roughly two SP3s for the price of one.
Just remember that Unawakened Rags doesn't rely on his SP3 for damage; but on cycling his SP2 and SP1 (in that order). I recommend using a Special during Boon of the Gods to activate this cycle. Once you're over 40 hits, his SP1 automatically Stuns, with a bonus 250% Direct Physical Damage (bypasses Safeguard, btw) if you've previously used your SP2 to inflict Armour Break.

Well, @DNA3000 has a point that a 6* is akin to another R4, even if it’s a R4 you’d never want. I just think 6*’s should be a bit more curated than they currently are—specifically, the pool should exclude bottom tier champs, making it more of a good-better-best type of payout.

All seriousness he’s part of a large interconnected unique synergy web so having him as a high star tier even unduped at least prevents him from being dead weight entirely.
He's great for Prestige. Also, if you can mange to Dup him, he does some insane Damage after an L3. I took my 4* to R5. No regrets. You have to push him to the L3 and massacre afterwards. I think he gets a bad rap in general because he's not raw Damage off the bat. He's designed like the Film. Thor discovers his true power in the end, when he's pushed over the edge.
At least you have a 6*, that's at least a positive 😎. Plus, your avatar is Sabertooth and that's wicked cool. Also, you're part snake. Poisonous bad-to-the-bone snake that everyone is afraid of, so total plus there as well. Oh, and 1987 was a good year 👍
Lol I have to admit this made me laugh a bit.
Thanks to everyone for your responses. I’ve pulled Sentinel (who I can’t stand), DD, Mordo, and now Thor Rag. I don’t have any 6* that can contribute to clearing content when I’m seeing accounts with duped KM/Void/IMIW, and multiple great 6*. RNG sucks so bad in this game.
Some of those are good on defense... I can't even get defender kills with my 6* lol.
My officer placed his 6* Sentinel so mine gathers dust. Someone else has a duped 4/55 Thor Rag so yeah lol.
Welp... Guess we can both drown in our tears then lol. I gotta be honest, I'd take your 6* any day over my own though.
Funny you say that because I feel the same. I’ve always had a soft spot for YJ and since I have no real power control champs, Beast would be nice.
Ha! That is funny, because I just can't find any saving grace to YJ or Beast. We all have tendencies to feel we've pulled the "worst" straw I suppose. I think we can at least both agree that the 6* pool sucks, and so does the RNG.
All seriousness he’s part of a large interconnected unique synergy web so having him as a high star tier even unduped at least prevents him from being dead weight entirely.
I suppose so. Although I don’t have a ranked Hela, Gulk, or Loki and don’t plan on ranking them anytime soon. Maybe if Hela or Loki come as my next 6* I’ll see.

I don’t really mind setup as I like Sabretooth and Proxima, but I don’t like his playstyle. You have to ramp him up to an L3 (assuming he’s awakened) then you try to pummel the everlovin’ out of them but you can’t get carried away or they’ll get an L3. It just reminds me of a newer version of Jane Foster.

I just watched this. Every video I’ve seen has him just pinning WS in the corner and beating the **** out of him. It sounds like he suffers from the same problem that Jane Foster does too. It’s not really feasible to keep going to town on champs and keep chain stunning unless it’s Luke who has indestructible. Also I think it’s funny they acknowledge how poor of a champ Thor Rag is so he now has 3 synergies to boost his attack rating. Sad. He’s the God of Thunder for crying out loud.
They blew a good opportunity to launch IW Thor with stormbreaker
Yeah I agree he is pretty weak... I have a duped 5* at r3 and I wish he was just a bit better because he is really quite fun to play with.
Yeah they really did. Stormbreaker is the Thor I want to wreck everything with.
I like Rags - one of my first 5/50s - and have played with him a lot, usually with Hulk synergy. Disclaimer: I don't have him as a six-star! And yes, obviously you could have done better; but you can only play with the champs you get, not the ones you want.
Overall, he's okay but not great if he's alone and unawakened; which yours is. However, even then if you can bait effectively and hold a combo (which with four six-stars in your roster, I assume you can!), you can easily (and repeatedly) get the biggest free surge of Power in the game - a free SP3 every 40 hits. Which is to say, roughly two SP3s for the price of one.
Just remember that Unawakened Rags doesn't rely on his SP3 for damage; but on cycling his SP2 and SP1 (in that order). I recommend using a Special during Boon of the Gods to activate this cycle. Once you're over 40 hits, his SP1 automatically Stuns, with a bonus 250% Direct Physical Damage (bypasses Safeguard, btw) if you've previously used your SP2 to inflict Armour Break.
Decent synergies, including +6% (whole team) Attack with Corvus; and useful unique ones with Korg and Heimdall: http://www.marvelsynergy.com/champions/thor_ragnarok
Yes you could have done better; but play around with him and see if he grows on you. Excelsior!
Well, @DNA3000 has a point that a 6* is akin to another R4, even if it’s a R4 you’d never want. I just think 6*’s should be a bit more curated than they currently are—specifically, the pool should exclude bottom tier champs, making it more of a good-better-best type of payout.

Thank you for your input. Maybe I’ll play around with him and see how well his L2, L1 combo does.

🤣🤣🤣
I suppose so. Although I don’t have a ranked Hela, Gulk, or Loki and don’t plan on ranking them anytime soon. Maybe if Hela or Loki come as my next 6* I’ll see.
I don’t really mind setup as I like Sabretooth and Proxima, but I don’t like his playstyle. You have to ramp him up to an L3 (assuming he’s awakened) then you try to pummel the everlovin’ out of them but you can’t get carried away or they’ll get an L3. It just reminds me of a newer version of Jane Foster.
