*God Tier Syndrome, also known as GTS, is a serious medical condition that affects 1 in 5 Players. Side effects include not seeing the value in other Champs, and restricted Rank-Ups. There is no cure, but treatment is possible. Ask your doctor if using other Champs is right for you.
In fairness, in the beginning you should make do with what you have, but once you have a champ for most scenarios, whimsical rank ups are a personal choice. I don’t use resources that way because it takes effort to get them. I don’t see it as playing the game wrong and it certainly doesn’t warrant the snobbery.
It's been a thing ever since Players have been making lists of Champs that are "most preferred". Adhering to it religiously means missing out on a great deal of usefulness with other Champs. People can cherry-pick if they like, but calling anything to the contrary a waste is snobbery itself.
Going back to my point. If I already have a certain bit of utility, taking another champ that does the same thing but slightly differently doesn't justify a r4 or even a r3. If it does it better or brings something new and neat, then that's a good investment. This is an 80% admin, 20% fighting game. If you want to spin the roulette and rank up stuff that you don't need, then cool, but aiming high is a perfectly valid (and preferred) way to play when you have to manage resources. Also, people that r3 champs because they hear they're good are a different breed. I don't defend that. I try for myself before I buy.
