I just got a six star Ronan and duped him just five minutes later . I am curious is he good ? Is he complicated to play ? I am overflowing with T5 and T2 and I could use a good cosmic . Is he worth ranking ?

His best uses are fights where the opponent will gain loads of buffs (e.g. Resistor node, Act 4.3.6 Venom...)... or on Power Reserves (specials cost half power) because of the guaranteed stun from SP1.
Outside of that, he doesn't have much practicality; don't use him. If he isn't awakened, don't use him.
At 5* (and presumably 6*) he gets... a Fury when attacking...
But his main utility shines where the opponent has a lot of buffs... in which case he unlocks his true form: The Cheese Lord.
Having said that, as you've duped him, then he's definitely worth the R2 given that you're overflowing with resources. If resources were tight, it might be a different decision.
Against opponents with a few buffs his damage starts to rise; and with 4-5 buffs or more he gets access to an almost infinite stun-lock. As long as he's not fighting a shrug-off champ, or someone else with access to Stun Immunity such as Hercules. In some fights it gets genuinely silly - try typing "MCOC Ronan" into YouTube to see a few examples, particularly this:
Even in other fights he's got a little bit of utility - he's poison immune and has a Fury so can take on Acid Wash nodes. He can remove Fury buffs which can be handy against opponents who proc small numbers of potent Fury buffs, like Nick Fury. And he can convert Armour Up to Armour Break, which is handy against quite a few Tech champs with permanent Armour Up effects.
So yeah: R2 but no higher. He won't be a regular questing champ, but there are definite times and opponents where you'll pull him out of storage and he'll just cheese through opponents other champs struggle against. Enjoy!
