Where does Longshot fit in?

In a world where there is Doctor Doom, CV, Sym Supreme, Sorcerer Supreme... For what purpose would one want to rank up Longshot? I get that he has some of the most insane dps in the game (where conditions are perfect), but so far I have my 5* on the bench awaiting orders.

Can he still output huge damage without opponent having buffs? Absolutely!
One SP2 is going to do a lot of damage to your opponent if they have 5 Bad Karmas. Add in an sp1 to transfer some more bad karmas, and you've done a ton of damage, really quickly.
I've used him to clear cosmic herald difficulty, and not one mystic champ can clear those fights faster than him - and with zero risk. The only fight he's not great for is the Vision boss.
I can only assume that most of the people talking him down haven't got him or haven't used him. People are sleeping on Longshot. If you've already got Doom/BWCV for their utility, why would you NOT rank up Longshot?
I’ll rank him up on that because I need a nullifier. On my main I wouldn’t touch him. DPS is important, but it’s utility that you need to get used in high content. Longshot lacks utility. His buff control is weak compared to other mystics and he has really nothing else going for him aside from increased ability accuracy for incursions
People see big red numbers and assume they’re amazing. If that made a champion viable Proxima would be the best in the game, or Cull
he’s not the BEST mystic but he is a VERY GOOD mystic champ, and also has super-high Ability Accuracy that is almost impossible to reduce. def wish he had a bit more utility, but he’s a lot of fun to use.
He’s not going to necessarily beat out SS in most buff-heavy scenarios, but in certain lanes (looking at you, resistor path) he is absolutely devastating.
He isn’t the best mystic, but I like running him with my Domino/Rulk questing team when BWCV is hung up in AQ. He’s a ton of fun to use, and he can end most fights with a single sp2
Realistically you will never use him over your SS or BWCV, cause they can do the job better 😉
He was an MVP for variant 5. And he’s on my main EQ questing team all the time cause his synergies and crazy damage.
I also have a r5 doom and Sorcerer supreme and a r2 6* SS. Longshot get used more than all of them but doom.
I use my longshot all the time.
