is 5* namor still worth ranking up?

i just got a 5* namor and i don’t know much about him and never played with him before. i was wondering if he’s worth ranking up after being nerfed. he’s unawakened.

He's still a great champion, his damage output is still amazing - against bleedable champions he's inflicting additional bleed, against bleed-immune he's largely the same as he was. Also, his sig ability was untouched so it's still amazing, especially against the likes of Electro and Korg.

Really the only truly damaging change was the reduction to his Regenerative capability.

In short, still worth ranking up, if you need damage output then go hog, if you have other high-damage champs then maybe wait until you dupe and increase his sig level. Mine's sitting at R3 and will likely stay there until I can woke him.

these are my only 5*. i can’t take sparky, BWCV or warlock past rank 3 right now due to T2A and omega is unawakened as well so i don’t know which one to work on, omega or namor.

Tough. I don't have Omega but my understanding is that, to really shine, he needs to be awakened, high sig, and utilise suicide masteries.

I would recommend trying both out in slightly easier content and see which one you just like more.

Nice BW.
