    I believe ægon to have overall much more value than nick, which I think is a pretty unpopular opinion.

    And magneto Vs omega is debatable. But I won't get into that. If you want to start that fight, there's only one man to tag.

    😈 Mags vs. Omega is closer than I like to admit. But I'm still choosing Omega any day. Plus I personally view Corvus > Hype due to his awakened ability being so damn powerful.
    i have omega sig 100 mags unawakened and im goin with mags (im FTP i cant afford sucides lol)

    He's a different beast with suicides. Imo Omega with suicides > Mags with or without.

    Sorry but no. Most champions that are often considered top 20 have more utility than CGR and it's not like other champs have no damage, a lot of CGR's damage is overkill too.

    100% accurate list
    100%, if not a suicider. Cosmic is situational, honestly, but Hype wins out if considering the "best in general".

    I think every option is reasonable, if I had to pick a weakest choice, not in terms of the champion strength but in terms of the least amount of consensus, it would probably be Hyperion. For the other classes, there are champs that overall are seen as rough equals, and arguably better, but I think with Hyperion there are people who think Hyperion is the top cosmic and there are people who think he shouldn't even be on the short list.

    Personally, I would put CGR, CMM, and Corvus higher on my list of champs to rank up. I'm not sure if that's because they are "better" so much as I think they would do more for me in my roster, but that's how I see it.

    Just wondering, how would Corvus be higher than Hyperion? I have him and he's awesome but I mainly just use him for exploring easy quests quickly since in Act 6 I don't think he would be too good.
    It depends on how you look at the champs. I think when most people are asked which champs are better than others, they think in terms of answering the question: if I could only have one of them, which one would be the most productive? And for me, given a choice between Hyperion and Corvus I would pick Hyperion.

    However, that's not how I look at the champs, because I'm almost never confronted with that kind of choice. In reality, champs are part of teams, either three champ teams or five champ teams usually. And when you assemble a team, you're trying to cover as much ground as you can among all of the team members. A champ can theoretically be better than two other champs in a head to head comparison, but yet those two champs could work together better than either champ does with the first one. What Corvus does is narrower than Hyperion, but less easy to replace than Hyperion. Hyperion has poison immunity, he has power gain, he has furies, he has incinerates, he has armor breaks. By himself that's an excellent combination. But in a team, those features tend to overlap with other champions more often than, say, the binary/indestructible burst mode of CMM or the ramp up crit damage and health recovery from bleeds that Corvus has. It is s little easier to replace him on a team than some of the other top tier cosmic champs.

    I have used Corvus in side quests and other stuff like that, but at the moment I'm getting the most use out of him on Map 5 during Emma week. He doesn't need to be ramped up much to get a very quick kill on her by using parry armor breaks to keep her out of diamond mode and end the fight before I make a boo-boo or accidentally push her to too many SP2s. I actually tried Hyperion on that fight because he'd also be good for the poison lane I sometimes do, but Corvus was just so much better than him. I also sometimes use him in War, when someone makes the mistake of making my war path into Corvus bait (not often, but it happens).

    Corvus does get progressively less useful from Act 6 into Act 7 (at least so far) its true, but I do those paths once, and I do AQ and AW constantly, so a champ good in those modes gets more proportional use, and thus more proportional value to me. And to me, the "best champ" is the one you find you're using the most, or would have the most use if you had them and ranked them.
