I recently got a 5 starkillmonger, thinking about bringing him to r3. But this is a serious investment for me as my resources are a bit drained right now. Any Killmonger experts that can convince me to rank him up?

    This shows some of the lesser known stuff that he can do

    He's great. You won't regret it. Massive bleed after sp3 is noteworthy. Easy access to true strike is great too

    No regrets. Super fun.

    I like KM a lot. His damage isn’t OP but he can do a lot. I like champs that the SP3 isn’t contingent on the SP1 and SP2. His utility is underrated and has unique abilities built into his attributes.

    He is, however, a very skill based champ. So if you’re going to invest practice a lot. He’s not top 3-4 skill champ but he’s up on the list somewhere (if you polled people this would probably be close to how the community views him).

    He’s alright but there’s better. I don’t see his true strike as being easily accessible as vs some special attacks from opponents in the game push him back to far to activate it. Unless you are going to bring WS along as a sidekick,..and I personally wouldn’t invest in ranking up WS. I have him duped as a 6* and sitting at r1,..I have contemplated many a time r2ing him but I never do simply because of 2 issues I have with him.
    1. Is he r3 worthy?...imo no
    2. I have NF as a r5 along with Cmm and quake
    ...so with that trio,..he’s most definitely be sitting on the bench 90% of the time...so he’s a waste to rank up for me personally.

    KM is easily worth R3. You have the NF, CMM, and Quake trio so that's a reason to... not rank him up? With that mindset, why rank up anyone?

    i have 5 star killmonger and i never regret ranking him up

    I love him.

    He was my first R5, way back when he was first released, and R5 wasn’t easy to get (at all). He has since proved to be a very good counter to that 6.3.1 Medusa (counters auto block, and the sp3 deals enough bleed dmg to finish her). I think he is certainly worth R3 at 5*

    Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. I’m not knocking killmonger he’s a above average skill champ in the game right now and fun to play. My mentality is to rank up most definitely,..but I would rather rank up champs that are a bit more optimal in regards to today’s meta..., no need for anyone to take offence.

    IMO I don't really like using him. He has amazing utility but hits like a wet noodle.

    KM synergy with Void also opens up a lot of options where debuffs are present. He was great for Act 6 Icarus node

    Killmonger is amazing. His indestructible and true strike make him an evade/autoblock countering TANK! He's suicide friendly with the Void synergy too! Even his basic attack damage and bleed stack hit pretty decent when his sig is utilized. The sp3 bleed can knock out any endgame content opponent including bosses. He really stood the test of time similar to Void and Hyperion.
