Yes that guy the mass damage with the sp2 after spamming sp1 to build damage or however you play him thats the guy with his weak incinerates and all.
Sunspot is an interesting champion for well actually we now have seen many mass power champions that charge and get to sp2 to do mass damage recently come out. For example Guardian and Longshot both are great! The reason I made this is to ask is he overrated or is he fine as he is? We the reason I ask is because it is just straight up damage unlike Longshot with his debuff he gives the enemy or Guardian that has Big Red Numbers AKA the extra bonus damage for everyone who hasn't seen it, sunspot relies on ordinary damage just regular damage. This could be countered easily by damage caps and its not like he can rely on his incinerate damage as we all know it isn't as great. If you play in high content like act 5 higher or look at the Monthly Quests recently damage caps have been sorta appearing a bit more often than you would like. And unlike debuff or bonus damage he has Regular damage that can be caped so with damage caps being more frequent he could be less useful and here i ask is he overrated for this as people think he is top champion but can be easily bad when given the Damage Cap which as I said has been appearing more often. So will he be useful and not overrated or the opposite?

I also don't see where we have had a lot of damage caps recently.... like in permanent content such as LOL or AOL certainly, but you mention Act 5 and monthly event quests, and I don't remember any damage caps in any of those, except for maybe the occasional safeguard (deal 1% of opponents max health per hit, which is pretty rare). As to his "normal damage", it may not have a lot of perks, but it is still damage... and a lot of it.
He's not overrated and a total beast
He just doesn't have much utility. I can hardly justify bringing him along on any team.
Also I wouldn't say he has little utility. Perfect block, incinerate immune, power gain, reducing block proficiency and regen are still pretty big deal in current meta. Additionally, there are around 18 incinerate immune champs in game, so not that many champs can make it difficult for him.
Of course, he's not the best mutant in game, but that doesn't mean he can be labeled as "overrated".
If yes then he’s not overrated. If no, then you have your answer.
You probably could exchange Sunspot for a dozen or so other champs and have the same discussion. I think part of it is user preference.
Tell me again how is this 'not much' utility, please?
