Ghost or Warlock to R4

Hendross

I know this has been discussed before, regarding who to rank 3, and Ghost has traditionally won (70/30). After my Act 7 completion, I have an awakened Warlock and Ghost (assuming a use the generic) and a 3->4 tech gem. I have Wasp, Hood, and Antman as 6 stars. I also have both as max sig 5 stars. I'm an above average Ghost player but still rely on Wasp, but use Warlock more often in AW due to bans and sustainability. All content is done except act 6 and Abyss completion.

Thoughts?

When asking this question here, it's extremely likely it will be a landslide for ghost because of the common arguments for ghost as being among the best in the game (which some may or may not agree with).

However when doing rankups, one needs to look at more than who people blindly say is "best" and need to consider synergies, masteries, content, needs, etc. Something important as well is are you good with the champs and do you enjoy using those champs. With that being said, I never recommend one champ for a rankup over another as it's based on player.

As an example I brought my ghost to r3 because she is so good, but I never used her so cause I find her playstyle so boring. As a result I brought Guardian to r4 before ghost and nimrod will be my next tech r4 when available over ghost as well

I like Ghost better but in this case I’d say Warlock because Warlock could use the Extra Damage as Ghost already has a lot of Damage at Rank 3

I'd do Ghost if it was my choice, if it's something as rare as a r4 then I want it to be exciting, and Ghost's sp2 is still one of the most exciting things in this game

Ghost already rules at r3. Warlock is the one which will get a major boost.
