I think the latest featured 6 star pool is way better than what we used to get before. The ratio of useful/useless champs has considerably a huge difference.
Annihilus: Solid defender
Black Widow(DO): Latest+Good champ
Captain America: Nope
Darkhawk: Solid champ
Guilotine: Nope
Hulk: Pretty ok
Hulkbuster: Getting buffed
Human Torch: Absolute beast
Iron man IW: Good champ
Massacre: Good champ
Mister Sinister: Solid defender
M.O.D.O.K: Solid defender
Mojo: New+ Solid champ
Moleman: New+ Pretty ok
Mordo: Solid defender
Mysterio: Good champ
Night Thrasher: Solid champ
Sorcerer Supreme: New+ Solid champ
Symbiote Spiderman: Nope
Storm PX: New+ Good champ
Sunspot: Absolute beast
Terrax: New+ Solid defender
Venom the Duck: Solid champ
X-23: Good champ.
What do you guys think?

Personally I’m a big fan of overall quality vs the all or nothing chance of the last 2 features.
Source: Someone who has 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6* Guillotine
Edit: and Guillotine can massive damage potential, I’ve seen her do almost 700K as a two star
And that's a niche that Guilly 2099 can even fill herself while being a much better champion in general.
The damage and skill ceiling for Guillotine Classic is very low and she carries little utility. There are much better Champions. Granted, there's also worse, but Guilly wouldn't be on my top 20 rankup list.
edit: just saw the photo lol, 300K not 700K
Note: The souls mechanic is iffy and works nowhere outside of RoL. And even IN RoL low-level Guillotines can't do enough damage to keep the souls up.
Someone with more skill and patience than me could certainly do it with a 2/20.
She only needs two synergy partners to do this trick by the way - Morningstar (who's a good champ) and either Ronin or Gamora (who are both okay, if not amazing).
MS makes her souls last longer, and the other two both have synergies that let her gain souls by other means.
Like @StevieManWonder said, she's good for bleed damage and sustainability (once she's Awakened, she's amazingly sustainable with her life steal). Hmmm. I wonder how much that Life Steal could help clear a Gimme path?
Anyway @YoMoves, you're right in that the soul mechanic is a major limitation, but there are synergies that help you get around it, even outside ROL. Certainly you can sustain a soul count around 10 or so in normal content, but no, of course you can't really play offensively enough to build up 30 souls like I did above. Guilly probably classes in the okay/occasionally useful group, and certainly isn't a bad champ. If you like her (and she does look pretty cool - her SP3 is a work of art) you can build a team to clear content whilst having fun. Which is, let's face it, the purpose of the game.
I can't say I'd be thrilled to pull her from a Featured crystal, but would be happy enough to get her from a basic; just because she's a bit of fun to play with.
