Who's better, Omega Red or Colossus?

I have both at r4, Omega Red is awakened sig 110, Colossus is unawakened but he's such a tank. Who's the best option to r5. I don't run suicides but Omega Red has been very good for me without suicides already. I don't run suicides because some of my champions get hurt from suicides because they have to throw a lot of specials.

    Colossus
    tankiest of tanks, the Marshawn Lynch of MCOC, he’s awesome. Also, Colossus is suicide friendly (ish) if you ever run him.

    Colossus is focused around throwing a lot of sp2s tho so it's quite a bit of recoil damage

    do you have to get recoil to unlock deep wounds and stuff? I’ve never looked at that part of the tree

    No you need recoil to unlock the other 2 parts of the suicide masteries (the bleed and poison ones, each have a 30% attack increase)

    Omega Red
    I was in almost exactly the same position recently, both were R4, awakened (sig 20 Colossus, sig 100 Omega) and I had to chose one to R5. I went with Omega because of the DoT and the regen but Colossus will be next, he's really fun to play and like SpideyFunko said, he's absolutely awesome too. That buff Kabam gave him was a complete success.
    So, both, really ^^

    yeah it’s still really weird to hear the term “Colossus is a great champion”

    I'd take a sig 200 omega red with suicides over colossus, but if omega red does not have suicides, or is not high sig, colossus is the easy choice

    Does Colossus need to be awakened to justify r5 over Omega Red?

    If colossus is unawakened and omega is, i think i'd go for omega. If both are awakened i would go colossus

    Colossus
    I have both at 5/65. OR is sig 200 Colossus is sig 40ish. I rarely use OR since I stopped using suicides. He's still good, it's just Colossus is that good.

    Hot take (w/ a disclaimer, I don't have Sunspot) Colossus is the best mutant champ and I say that even if running suicides. You can't go wrong ranking either but I think Colossus is better.

    when someone says something like this, it just lets me know they do not play colossus often. omega NEEDS sig to do any damage. Colossus does not "NEED" it, he is just fine without it. Yes it is very nice, but he is beyond god tier without it too
    maybe I exaggerated a little. He doesn't NEED it like omega does, but it just makes him so much better. Like at least 25% better. Maybe 50%. It makes his ramp up so much easier, and you can go straight to s2 without throwing 20 S1s.

    Colossus
    I have both as maxed 5/65 champs, and while both get their use, Colossus is the one I go to for pretty much any mode of content. He can LoL just about as well as Aegon, he can take a BEATING, and he has those multiple immunities on top of sick damage.

    Omega Red
    I have both at 5/65 and it's really close. However, they both need the dup and so in your case it's Omega since your Colo is unduped. I run half suicides (DE) and therefore prefer Omega (really needs high sig too). I also have Domino, AA, Iceman, and Sabretooth at 5/65 and my favorite mutant is Omega.

    Without suicides, is a sig 110 Omega Red better than an unawakened Colossus?

    I would say so. I think awakened or usually beats unawakened colossus

    That’s because you can’t go wrong with any of them. I put OR but I don’t know anything. Take my vote off of omega red. And pretend it’s still 22.

    If you run suicides it's Omega, if not it's Colossus.

    If you have suicides and sabertooth synergy go for omega. Or else colossus. But aim for both as both are great and omega synergy makes colossus better.

    Colossus
    I've both at R4.. OR at sig 100 and Colossus at 30. I believe with suicides OR is better... I am not running suicide and prefer Colossus.. also i believe more than suicides it's the playing style of the two which is the better deciding factor.. since parry and heavy or parry and combo suits my play style i preferred to go with Colossus. One can do same with OR too (minus the damage when compared with Colossus ) but you also have to maintain that distance to make use of pore damage

    Lol, my 3* Colossus soloes RoL winter soldier with synergies and without suicides in under 200 hits!

    And of course, he's awakened.
    So...any more argument necessary?
