Which supposedly god-tier champ did you end up most disappointed in after getting them?

For me it was Voodoo. I know he needs to be duped, but I thought he was still supposed to be good unduped so I was really excited to get him as a 5*. I have him at 2/28 because he almost never places a loa or successfully converts them into poison, and in the meantime he plays like a glass cannon for me, but without the cannon.

He and the synergy did great things for me in A5. For me he was the only sustainable 4-40, but only when in the trinity.
DV has to be used right.
In short, there are no more standalone push a button to clear everything champs. They either can't do everything or they rely on synergies and then still can't do everything.
Voodoo has a steeper learning curve than most god tier champs:
Blade = Parry and hold block
Sparky = Evade attacks
Void = Play keep away
Iceman = Don't lose ice armor
Hyperion = Parry & use heavy attacks and back up & hold block to regenerate
Corvus Glaive = Parry and attack
Archangel = Parry and use heavy attacks
Gwenpool = Get a 50+ hit combo
Medusa = Use 2 medium attacks then sp1
Star Lord = Long combos
Voodoo/Ghost Rider/Killmonger require more thought than the above god tier champions. Killmonger you weigh the benefits of using his sp1 or sp2, Ghost Rider you decide the order to use his different judgments for maximum effect based on game mode, and Voodoo you decide whether to use his special attacks on odd or even combos depending on different variables. Lots of players say Voodoo doesn't "hit hard". Voodoo can solo close to all tier 1-3 AW bosses so I still don't know what players mean by "hit hard".
I was wrong
After finishing Act 5 100% (I left a few biohazard lanes for last).
At 4/55 he was hands down my MVP for finishing act 5
Anyway, on topic. He is not necessarily god tier, but I ranked Sabretooth up on recommendations from friends.
The payoff for building up his damage just isn't worth it.
I guess for me it was more the fact that I had other champs that could do what Voodoo does. For power control I had Magik, for ability accuracy reduction I had AA and his ability reduction is so much better. Guess I just didn't really have use for Voodoo, I'd probably r4 him someday when t2a are more readily available.

Yeah but that’s also 2 champs you have to use instead of just 1 (DV can do both well). But to each their own.
The two for me are Magik and Iceman. There’s so much hype about Magik and I just do not get it. Yeah power lock is nice but that’s about all she has. It’s kinda meh. She can’t take a hit and her base attack is really poor. Iceman has his uses (triple immunity is fantastic) but I just don’t get much fun or satisfaction from using him.
