5* Sunspot to r4. I don't regret it, big yellow numbers are fun but I've never used him outside of RoL
I was in the same place you were but I'd actually highly recommend taking him to rank 5. When I had him at rank 4 I felt the same way, I was pretty underwhelmed even in ROL. I still took him up to rank 5 for prestige and since then I don't know if his rotation feels smoother with the extra stats at rank 5 or if something just clicked, I use him everywhere.
He's was an AQ mainstay but then I started using him exploring act 6 and cavalier difficulty I took him off my AQ team because I was using him so much to clear content I didn't want him stuck in alliance quests. He has a lot more utility than people take at face value and big yellow numbers are actually utility in themselves by zurging down difficult fights
I mean I'll take him up one day, I do really like him. And I'm sure I'll find a use. I only have 2 r5s right now and ones a mutant. I. want to get one from each class first. And I like Havok better lol
Tigra to r3 as it fells like a waste if iso Ronin thought he was cool and was a bummer so I took up Stealth suit and Civil warrior thats it
Not everyone likes his playstyle.
It feels slow and to long to ramp up and I could of had a kill with Steath suit before Ronin was all charged up
But he has more utility than stealth, plus this thing I like to call block proficiency
stealthy is better than ronin imo, he does more damage and imo has more utility. i have used stealthy in lots of endgame content, like 6.3.6 capiw boss, 6.4.5 hydra adaptoid boss, 6.4 GM and tons of evade and unstoppable nodes (also a great option against 6.2 champion). i think his slow mechanic, almost guaranteed crits, and great damage is overall more useful than ronins mechanics.
Ronin and Stealth have about the same damage, but stealth has access to it slightly quicker. Stealths only usable utility imo is the slow/miss counter, which is cool, but more and more champs have slow recently. The miss thing is cool though. He works great for the Hydra Adaptoid, meh for the Champion, and pretty good for the GM. But Ronin works for the GM really well, and is easy to solo him with. And I have no clue how Stealth is a good option for the Cap IW since he has nothing to safely control his power or talk sp3s, so you’d just be kamikazing repeatedly.
“Slightly quicker” is an understatement. To access his top damage, stealthy must do 2 light ending comboes and throw a sp1. To access his top damage, ronin must do a bunch of intercepting to get to 7 cruelty, throw a sp3, and build back to 7 cruelty. One is a lot faster than th other. Also, stealthy can easily keep his passives active for the whole fight once he has them.

You don’t need the sp3 and you can also speed it up through bleed immune champs, or just hit into block which takes almost no time. Plus he Ronin is actually suicide friendly unlike Steath.

tigra and waste do not belong in the same sentence
Yes, Tigra extremely underrated. 💪😤

You would think someone with an 3.5:1 dislike to like ratio would learn not to say controversial opinions
Doesn't matter as long as i make a good point
But that’s why you have the ratio. You do NOT have a good point
Who cares good point, bad point i still get people to get some thought in there head that Taskmaster is possibly good
Bro, just cuz I spent a generic gem does not mean you convinced people, you probably made some disappointed when that Appreciation thread came
I thought this would happen so let me explain Appreciation Threads are a thing of the past and we don't talk about the past unless it is needed and that right there was not needed so...

Stealthy is actually pretty suicide friendly. Just need to throw 1 SP 1 and 1 SP 2. In a good amount of scenarios where you don't need slow, 1 SP 1 is enough.

In my book, that isn’t suicide friendly. He doesn’t have a way to purify, nor does he have immunities, and he also needs to use specials other than 3 to receive hjs maximum potential.

yeah i used stealthy for 6.3 capiw (initial completion) as i was lacking better options. its virtually impossible to do a solo on the fight, but his high crit chance + damage means u can get him down in only a couple of revives, if you dont have any better counters like ghost+hood, aegon, starky, etc.
I took 5* Morningstar to rank 3 (and gave her a mystic awakening gem), it is one of the stupidest decisions I made, I wasted almost all the gold and ISO I had on a character that I don't use ...

For me there are three main ones - She-Hulk: I took her to R5 to handle AoL Luke Cage. I sucked so hard that fight with her that I think I'm just going to bring Aegon with Quake/Proxima instead. Killmonger: I mainly did it because he looks cool, I don't really get much use out of him. I could max sig him to get more damage out of him but I'm reluctant to empty my sig stones for him. Sorcer Supreme: I've seen videos of her doing absolute craziness but I've not mastered her so until I set aside the time to learn her she's a bench warmer really.
Defensive rank ups don't really count I suppose as they serve a purpose - I took Nova to R5 a month before I retired from alliance gameplay. His animations are awesome and if you're willing to play balls to the wall and do single hit combo backdrafts he gets reasonable damage but it's not really worth the effort.
R5s I don't use that much: - CG, OR - I don't run suicides often - Sentinel has kind of been replaced by Warlock/G2099 for me now - Emma Frost I took up when I read all the power sting stuff in 6.4 but it turned out she was totally impractical for it. - I don't really use Domino that much these days either. If I want to run a trinity I have better options.
My most used R5/2 in no particular order: Doom, Ghost (x2), Aegon, CMM, NF, Colossus, Void, Wasp, Warlock, G2099, SS, AA, Magneto, Hyperion.

Only thing I’ve used him for is the armor path in v4. Kamala gets more use than him. (Because she’s in AW yes, but shhhhh)
