Who would you choose as your next R3?

I already have Onslaught and Venom (both unduped) as my two R3 champs and finally have the t4A’s to rank up another to R3. I’ve been leaning Chavez all along but I’ve opened some pretty great champs while waiting for these t4A’s. Here are my options:

Otherwise go with chavez.
I'd go either Sasquatch Guardian or Silk, depends which one you like using more. Silk would be pure attacker of course, Sasquatch and Guardian would be dual threat.
And I totally agree about those other 3 needing the awakening to be top tier choices. I wish I’d have duped Photon instead of Silk. I love Silk but I just think Photon is a better dual use champ and I’d probably have chosen Photon if she was duped.
Chavez is definitely a solid option since she's awakened but if you r3 her I can guarantee you she will be banned 90% of the time, and you really don't want that as she's a top Serpent counter. Main reason I haven't r3 mine
That leaves Sasquatch which would be my personal pick for two reasons:
1. He's one of the very few if not the only defender who can stall a lot regardless of how good you are the game, very few champs can actually nuke him at r3 even unduped.
2. He's actually a really solid attacker and can easily do fights in 30-45 seconds depending on rage and Wrath RNG
Here's a few ROL fights in case you aren't fully convinced about his value on attack:
Highly advice you watch this:
That's the video that sold me a couple months ago and made me pull the trigger.
@ItsClobberinTime would your reco change outside of BGs? Much like @TikkaMasala I do BGs - generally making GC - but then don’t prioritize it after that point. I pretty much always end the season in Uru and am fine with that - I primarily farm daily objectives and try to time my GC arrival for the last 4-5 days of the season. I also don’t do AW.
So, with BGs not being my top priority and other content being more of a priority, would you still reco Sassy (sig 40) over Chavez (unawakened)?
-Guardian: i have him and it's awesome, his sig only makes him better
-America: also have her, so powerful and useful
-Hyperion: although he's to reliant on RNG
-Silk
-Shang Chi: My first r3. Has cleanse at will, slow, can get easy openings and absurd damage with little to non charges
-CASW: he's an odd choice, but I'll love to dupe mine, has a ton of utility, besides it's not a metal tech, miss counter, can autoblock, has debuffs and buffs, he's a tech that benefits from physical damage instead of shock.
Chavez just hits hard enough at r2, and since she’s duped she’d be a ban target at r3. Juggs follows this same logic, just without the part about being duped. He’d still be banned as an unawakened r3 tho.
Serpent I wouldn’t r3 until dupe, and I’d wait for rebalancing to be done and over with before investing further into him.
Guardian I’ve seen mentioned but I wouldn’t rank him yet, he gets smacked by 3/4 upcoming metas in the next 2 months. He’ll be good in the next vt meta, but that’s about it. In gc he gets armor broken, in s21 VT his armor gets nullified, and s21 GC is high energy diet which is guardian’s whole damage source. I was planning to take up guardian as my next r3 but I waited on the metas being announced. Glad I did, cuz now I’m going with maestro.
Hyperion, silk, and probably my runner up choices for you. Hype is great, MSD has an r3 hype and has done some impressive things with him. Kindred would be a painful r3 but tbh he’s just get banned every match so idk if you wanna do that🤷. Silk I know is good I just don’t really use her so can’t say much about her lol.
And I’m glad the thread was also helpful to you @Oakenshield.
As for your question, I'd say yes. If Chavez was awakened then I probably would go Chavez but unduped Chavez is not worth r3 imo, that awakened ability gives her so much extra damage even at sig 20.
