I have both a 6r5 ascended and a 7r3. Remember, a 6r5 is only as strong as an unleveled up r3. So if you leveled up your R3 45/45 will be stronger than the ascended. Here are the stats of mine (keep in mind 30% health boost from masteries, but no suicides) R5 Ascended Sig 200 29,440 PI 71,591 Health 4,492 Attack
R3 Unawakened 30,691 PI 88,102 Health 5,525 Attack
As you can see, that is pretty significant.
But I do agree if your roster is not that developed, it is probably best to awaken others. For me, I do not regret taking either one of them up.
Is it worth it, absolutely yes. I had a 6R5A and pulled him during July deals. Instant r3 for me. I was lucky I did dupe him, but so will you at some point.
I think if you do AW and like to attack with him, then you can have one on defence and one on offence. I am sure everyone has other champs to rank up as well. I have 7 7* saving for the upcoming level up event. So, may be prioritised the others if you don’t like to have two Onslaught. 7* will go rank 4/5/6 eventually but the current issue may be your roster’s breadth. I have a rule that unless they need max sig or if they are broken, I won’t rank 5 ascend them. That’s why I kept Bullseye, Onslaught and Kushala at rank 4 in case I pull the 7* version (which I did!).
You could hold off but the r3 cooks way harder on defense. A lot of the popular counters that are 6* are less effective at punching up that high and he’ll stall Hulkling and a lot of others way more at that level while a 6*A can be killed faster and with more health
