Cav Players Really Pushing to Become TB should save for the next featured 6* Crystal

With a lot of people in a bit more of a rush to become Cav lately I thought I'd drop my two cents on why the featured six star is likely better if you're just looking for a rank 3 worthy six star. I would say that the new featured six star crystal has a 70% chance of dropping a champ that is at least rank 3 worthy if you're really pushing for the Thronebreaker.
My rankings look something like
(Tier 1) Top Tier Rank 3 Option - Apcalypse, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Ghost
(Tier 2) Solid Rank 3 Option - Dragon Man, Longshot, Professor X, Wasp
(Tier 3) Solid Rank 3 For TB - Spider Gwen, Elsa Bloodstone, Cull Obsidian, Gambit, Punisher 2099, Killmonger, Falcon, Red Goblin, Cable(if you have Apoc), Mister Fantastic
(Tier 4) Not rank 3 worthy but still useable - Daredevil, Immortal hulk, Vision
(Tier 5) Whiffs - Dormammu, Green Goblin, Ronan, Man- Thing
I categorize the tiers as;
Tier 1 - a top tier Rank 3 option, almost a no brainer.
Tier 2 - Maybe not at the top of their class but close and still very relevant in the meta, people would rank 3 them as their 2nd, 3rd, 4th,etc rank 3 champion.
Tier 3 - Good champions that you would get a lot of solid use out of but most community members probably wouldn't prioritize them to rank 3 if they weren't going for thronebreaker
Tier 4 - Probably not rank 3 worthy but still could help in certain sitaution in monthly quests, niche utility, etc
Tier 5 - Feels bad man
So in my opinion 17 out of the 24 champions in the featured crystal I would rank 3 without feeling that bad about it. That's an insane ratio compared to the regular six star crystals which probably are closer to a 50-50 ratio if not even worse. It's well worth the extra 5K shard risk if what you're looking for is just a rank 3 option and not general six star roster growth.
It's late so I hope my writing makes sense. In an RNG based game we have to do our best to maximize our chances of good pulls and I think saving for the new featured six star crystal does just that

Tier 2- everyone else

I’d probably also add how the top half of the tiers are all champions that don’t seem to require their Signature ability (not sure about Longshot or Manthing). So if you pull something from the upcoming featured, its only a 15k investment.
For example, if you’re lucky enough to pull Apocalypse on your first go, there isn’t the need to invest more into featured crystals in the hopes of awakening him. You can save shards and switch to basics.
I already have an R3 option for every class except for Tech and Mystic. I'm targeting Ghost and Longshot for that. I won't refuse Apocalypse and CGR, of course. Hope to have at least two of them in the 3 or 4 Featured I am opening next week.
Would say if a Cav player has skill or science it’s probably better to go for a basic crystal (unless your like me and would happily r3 a duped SG) if you have mutant, tech, cosmic or mystic then featured is prob alt the way to go.
However if your just looking for a great chance at a good to amazing champ then featured is the way to go
