Do you think the Introduction of CGR has both dethroned the Former Cosmic King and put the Cosmic Queen(CMM) to shadows?

who exactly is the “Former Cosmic King”
Or Hyperion since Hype > Corvus
Pretty much all the top 5 champs in every class are close to each other. The only ones who may be considered "not even close" to their competition are Quake and Ghost.
CGR is more than BYN
Disappointed
Hyp also has the nostalgia factor, and I think some are letting that bump up his rating. He's got nice utility, but it's nothing crazy.
At the end of the day, they are so close to each other in value that it comes down to personal preference. I would take a 5* CGR over Hyp, because I value Buff control, massive damage that reduces risk in fights by making them so quick, nice power gain, a fairly decent vigilance, armour break against annoying villians, massive amounts of debuffs and buffs, incinerate and bleed immunity way more useful than poison immunity, massive crit rate, insanely high block proficiency and a rotation that is way more flexible than anyone gives it credit for - all of that, I value more than Hyp's very reliable special intercepts with his incredible power gain, big furies, incinerate damage, armour break and stun when L2 procs and nice energy resistance.
Hyperion is awesome, no denying it. CGR is just better to me. If both champs were released today, I think it would be a very different story with who is preferred. That is testament to how reliable Hyp is though, how he's still in the conversation today, and I think that is a very special champion to do that.
I will say though anybody that puts down CGR as a big yellow number only champ is the real simp though
