Drew 4* GG today, yay. How good is he unduped? Does he need dupe to be super defender?
And, I can take one 4* Tech up to R5, choices are:
Starlord (awakened, low sig)
Ultron (awakened, also low sig)
Yondu (sig 60)
Nebula (sig 20), or
AoU Visin (sig 40)
GG.
I'm not good enough to maintain long combos, I usually mess up after 30 to 40 with SL.
What should I do?

Yondu is also a great option if you need a heal blocker and another war defender.
There isn't a huge difference between R4 and R5 with SL, so I kept him low.
I've heard GG is good, but can be tricky to get good damage with. He's also a good AW defense option.
None of them really need high sig levels to be effective. Ultron only absorbs energy damage, Vision steals power with specials.
1) You don't have the skill and/or luck to get a good streak. Slightly mis-timed evade, a block that drops, or an intercept that didn't work (or get kabammed by a micro-lag) and you're back to square 1.
2) Fights actually have to last long enough to get big streaks. Over 95% of the fights you see on a day-to-day basis are over with less than 40 hits and well before SL gets to his really good attack range. There are stacks of champs which have much better "short-term" damage output.
He has no other real utility. No immunities, no Damage over time, no power control, no buff control (nullify, stagger, etc). Outside of quests like Act 5, ROL, and LOL and a handful of AQ/AW bosses, he really doesn't help most players.
Look at the teams your alliance mates use, you rarely see him.
And he can do damage over time with shock also not power control.
Despite being more of a long fight king he isn't bad for short fights and if your at a point of rank 5ing someone your prolly close to act 5 which most fight a are above 100hits which 100 hits is when he is considered the hardest hitter in game anything above that is just icing on the cake.
But yea if you don't have good ability to keep combo he isn't good.
Is go vision if you need power control otherwise I love my ultron he has fine damage with bleed and l1 plus lots of stuns, regen and an auto evade chance every 7 seconds.
His Sig isn't amazing but is handy for some free health and means magneto, DS and dorm do like 0 damage to you
Short term Ultron provides the immunity you're looking for plus regen to overcome hits, starburst, coldsnap, limbo and other unavoidable damage. Though he's decent at r4 and plows through AQ for me still (lol just not bosses because of his metal pillowhands).
I like Vision a lot and his power cotnrol is great if you don't have any other options, but he hits softly and is pretty soft.
He needs to be duped though to deal heavier damage. He can potentially deal huge damage on his SP2. SP1 is a bit unreliable in terms of power control but if he has cunning, his opponent gains power 40% less. That’s actually his form of power control.
I had him on my team for my first run through of 5.4.6
Re: Starlord and utility, "I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there, yeah"
L2 & L3 does have
Damage Over Time via Shock
and
Power Control via Power Drain
along with a chance to Heal Block or Armor Break.
I do agree with your other points though.
IMO she is much more versatile.
