Is Gentle a good champion

Just pulled MK11 Geras from my first Titan. Should I be elated or disappointed? Worth the R3? I watched a few videos about him and people seem to be calling him a "high risk high reward" champion, instead of just glazing him.
While you guys are engaged by this post, what content should I proceed with after completing Act 8? In other words, which quests/endeavors are manageable and highly rewarding for a player like myself, with a few god tier 7*s and mostly 6*R3 and 6*R4s? My current objective in the game is to get one and a half more T4 Alpha to get my second R3 and become Valiant.

Gentle is pretty nuts when you get him ramped up, sp1 to sp2 does some fantastic damage. Slap crit rating on and he crits 80% of the time on the sp2.
Nodes with assault battery, special attacks that deal 200% etc.
He does bullseye well and in general champions who like criting.
At the end of the day his “High Risk high reward” comes down to A) Faster fight or
A) 12 muscle mass = Recoil damage, high sig prevents it and he’s one of the best champions in this game imo. (Medium before the sp2)
B = 11 muscle mass = No recoil damage, less damage due to reduced crit chance. (If you have 12 muscle mass before hitting sp2, end in a light attack.)
He’s a good champion and similar to scream, without a counter he will stall the fight, he defensive values are quite similar to scream, except Gentle will do it longer due to his passive unstoppable so Grit stops him. And on attack he’s a nuke like scream.
He's Recoil friendly (much better with actually) but playable without
And yeah if he's not at high sig the Recoil from Sp2 is optional.. if health does not matter (Solo or AW) just chuck sp2 whenever for more damage, if you're in BGs and health matters, decide whether the next sp2 will kill.. if it will chuck it at full mass, if you're not sure.. drop down to 11 - I like that it's under our control
I think it's probably fair to say high risk/high reward in BGs, but that's because in BGs, you're in a hurry.
In any other content where you aren't hurrying, he's incredibly good, and it's easy to avoid the recoil damage. Also his ability to go Indestructible+Unstoppable on a well-timed block if the opponent shrugs a stun or is stun-immune makes him really good for a lot of bosses in late-game content and War. They're often given abilities like Tenacity, Mighty Charge, stun-reflect or stun-immune.
I found him a great option for Ares in the Ordeal; particularly since Ares (who shuts down loads of champion abilities) doesn't shut down Daunted, Unstoppable or Physical Resistance.
