Magneto or Colossus to Rank 5?

Both sig 20.
Here's the thing I wrestle with: Seatin has Colossus at Beyond God Tier, but honestly I don't see it. He seems so dependent on parry - heavy spam. Aren't there a lot of situations where he just won't work well? Ex. Limber, Stun Immune, Debuff Immune, shug off mechanics, etc. Also, reliant on crits - with super low crit rating at 16%. Plus he seems pretty reliant on synergies (Omega and Emma). Seatin's showcase is so stacked - suicides, full team synergy, sig 200. When I play him just by him self (which is a realistic scenario), I find him lacking. Is he really that good? Seems boring! What am I missing here? I get that he has immunities, but I've got Torch, so whatever.
Magneto on the other hand just seems ridiculously dope. Love playing him so far. Crushing Vision or Darkhawk into a little armor broken cube is hilarious and wonderful. Stop me someone if this is a big mistake.
Thoughts?

he's not really reliant on crits, but obviously it does improve his damage.
like parrying, he's not reliant on synergies, but it greatly increase damage. I use mine without synergies, and while his damage isn't fantastic havok sp3 mind blowing, it's decent.
another major thing you didn't mention is how he gains do many armors. with that, he can tank a hot if you make a mistake or it can greatly reduce damage if you rely on blocking
Magneto on the other hand is an absolute freaking monster. Not as good in every matchup, but for matchups you want a punter for, he’ll cover a lot of them
Besides, Colossus can always be ranked up later on, y'know
Mags has 2 immunities, goes unstoppable, has an essentially permanent armour break, shuts down regen against Metal opponents, can’t miss or be auto locked against metal opponents, plus they suffer 70% reduced ability accuracy. Not to mention he has a damage cap via his sig. And he ignores class disadvantage. Easily accessed lots of buffs and prowess
Not to mention his damage against metal opponents is almost second to none
And guess what? Most of the most prominent defenders right now are metal. You can look it up on Auntm.ai. Some examples: Mojo, Doom, Annihilus, Nova, Guillotine 2099
Sure Colossus is better in non-metal matchups, but do you really need a counter to Iron fist?
Colossus is overrated as hell. And this is coming from a guy with a maxed Colossus and the synergies to pair him with
Both champs use this.
Just pick whoever you want, both have their specific uses and niches that they fill.
I like both alot, got them as R5 5 star. Who do i enjoy playing more? of course Magneto. He is just soooo overpowering over metals champs. Alot of the most difficult defenders happen to be metals - IMIW, Annihilus, Mysterio, G2099, etc etc
On the other hand, Colossus got great damage too and offers tons of immunities. He is the mutant immunity king, i believe only Thing and Emma Frost in diamond form have more immunities than colossus.
