I have 5 star Killmonger and I really like playing him. Would you guys say he's God Tier?

The god tiers are people like corvus, cmm, quake, doctor doom and Nick fury. I don't think he matches that but is very close
•He possesses an easy-to-access true strike which counters both evade and autoblock and ignores any armor/resistances.
•His sp2 gives him indestructible charges which can help if struck or pushing an opponent to a sp3.
•His sp1 gives you a counter-attack on block which is insanely useful to keep the combos going
•His bleed ramp up is quite nice on the sp3 when you go above 30 inflicted bleeds
•When both true strike and reverberation are active he gains a nice damage boost
•With the Void synergy he can shrug off unwanted non-damaging debuffs for health and can even shrug off one of the suicides debuffs. Paired with Fury and Goldpool can potentially heal him about 14% per fight
But with every good thing comes a negative:
•Weak damage output against bleed immune or debuff shrug/immune champs/nodes
•Sp2 indestructibles are lost through blocked hits so an intercept-heavy playstyle may be vital
•No real immunities or ways around unavoidable damage. Sp3s can still inflict debuffs
•Armor break shuts down his useful abilities
•Fights are slower than other God Tiers/Beyond God Tiers (but with patience comes great DoT)
He’s definitely worth investing in, even Unawakened. For progressing players the utility is invaluable and the damage is serviceable. At the endgame, he’ll need the sigs to keep up, but I still use my Unawakened 6* R2 fairly frequently when I’m exploring Act 6
What he does bring to the table is a lot of utility in his Truestrike and indestructible.
I would characterise him most as a synergy team champion rather than a solo power house. What he brings to void/ST make him worth ranking up if you have them ranked highly.
I took mine to R5 because my Void is R5 and I don’t believe in low ranked synergy champions.
Those "Do you bleed" and "bleed vulnerabilty" paths are fun to play with a 50 stack super bleed on SP3, and by throwing SP2 before that you will have inestrucitble charges most of the time so you don't lose health on parrys.
A very fun interaction is when you have the void synergy active and play against a SP1 lock node, wehre you get power locked when reaching 1 bar of power. At first i didn't realize what was going on but he constantly regenerates 4% of health very quickly. I didn't know why he does it so often because the chance is only 35% but i guess this power lock refreshes itself every time you would gain power, so the 35% chance refreshes itself too, and when shrugged off it immediately reapplies, so thats really cool.
