We would all like to see all champs as 6 stars come out as 7 stars but as for the first batch of 7 stars most of them will be rubbish initially. I expect 7 star Groot, iron Patriot, green goblin, deadpool x force to come out first.
I don't think we should assume the first crystal will be a basic with the full pool. I think the first 7 star crystal will be a featured crystal and cost more than 15K. More than half will be the lower end of the lowest garbage (think Drax), the rest except for 2 or 3 will be champs that absolutely need awakening and/or a high sig (think OG Daredevil/Star-Lord), and there'll be at most 3 champs that are very solid unawakened, but not game changers because the new rarity will be like using a boost with their 6star (think Human Torch/Odin/BWDO).
This was the first pool of 6*s released in the game
And that was all pre-buff champs, right?
I believe Luke cage and red hulk had just gotten buffs but all the rest were pre buff. Even still if that were the 7 star pool there’s no one in that pool I would use over my r3/4 champs. I would say kingpin but I have him at r4 sig 200.
Taking for granted that a 7* will cost way more than 10k shards (which is the topic of another thread), at least in my opinion, unless there are a handful of useful champs unduped, I'm not prepared to open any of them. A deep 6R3 roster will be able to carry a player for much more time than 5R5 have done for all this time, and this says a lot. I will keep focusing on that. 7* can (and will) wait.

No way it will sit right if crystal costed more unnecessarily when dupe shards are same from 6* as was from dupe if 4-5* hero, but on pool of champs perspective, i AIN'T OPENING CRYSTAL UNTILL there is some value to that 7* otherwise it will gather dust, JUST LIKE MY 6* GHULK who i never touched but pulled as 1st 6*.
If I could curate a list of champs who are fairly solid (i.e., not absolutely worst or best in class) and who don’t absolutely need awakening I would come up with something like the list below. There are a few on the low end, a few who make great synergy partners, and most of whom are among the B-tier at what they do. Not perfect, but way better in my opinion than a Gacha crystals with big winners and losers.

I would add that several of the champs listed above are incredibly useful. Another guiding principle would be to encourage the use of champs at the 7* level who might not be the “alpha” choice at lower rarities.

Glad you anticipated me immediately scrolling down to drop a comment taking offense at Emma being on the list. I'll allow it with the addendum.

Personally I am hoping for champs that are good unawakened.
This was the first pool of 6*s released in the game
At the time that came out, Red Hulk and Luke Cage had just been buffed. They were the only 2 good pulls from that. You could argue Black Bolt as well.
It's better to save the shards & open a few by end of 2024 when the crystal pool starts to get better
Tech: Yondu, Sentinel, Mysterio, Nebula
Mutant: Emma, Cable, Gambit, Sabretooth
Skill: Taskmaster, Hawkeye, OGBP, Falcon
Mystic: Jane, Longshot, Mephisto, Ghost Rider
Cosmic: Carnage, Roblin, Gamora, Nova
Science: Rhulk, Gwen, AntMan, Invisible Woman.

Expecting xmen, guardians and avengers.
I have 5 of those R3, and another 2 R2 hoping to rank up to R3 and want to R4 a few there too lol.
I should think there’ll be 1-2 real stars, 5/6 good, 1-2 horrors and the rest will be average.
I have 43k shards saved but no clue whether I’ll open them at the start.
