Share your favorite Champs to Use that ARE NOT Top Tier

I know there is some debate as to which Champs are in the very top tier versus lower tiers but who are your favorite to play with (because they are easy / simple to use, fun to play, or very effective).

Skill: Black Widow DO. She is so easy, fun and effective not considered top tier. She is my new Gwenpool (who is still like a lot)
Science: Spider-ham is a blast. So fun. He throws pies!
Tech: Ultron. Maybe not the most fun but for not being top tier he is very useful.
Mutant: Weapon X and Domino are great. But they make the top tier lists for some folks so maybe don't belong here.
Cosmic: Venom. He's so easy and useful. VPool since his buff is close as well.
Mystic: Sorcerer Supreme. She is usually not considered top tier but so easy and effective.

Just some thoughts for today.... thanks all.

OMG so many great replies here! It's great to hear so many Summoners are enjoying and having fun with some of the Contests "not top" Champs. Just shows how layered, mature and deep the game is and how engaged and switched on the players are. Thanks for the great and very interesting replies all!

I feel like OP posted mostly top tier champs. If not the absolute toppest top then the tier right below that which is still really dang good.

For me, I like to mess around with OG Thor, Iron Fist, OG BP, Long Shot, Cull, and Nebula.

Science: Spider Gwen has a lot of utility and damage in the right context, but I don't think anyone still considers her top tier. That being said, I just love her animations and the fluidity of her attacks. Quite fun to play, and not just a vanilla champ.

Skill: Ronin has a similar place to Gwen. Super fluid playstyle, has access to interesting utility and can have damage, but is definitely not a top option in the skill class. I think Kabam at one point referenced him as one of their most ideally balanced champs. Love playing him though.

Mutant: Platinumpool will always have a special place in my roster. I only spent 10$ on my account years ago, so to have the luck of pulling all of the necessary pieces from just the F2P available options just by the time of Mutant Treasure Island was definitely the best luck I've ever had in-game. He is a trophy champ that definitely has some of the most unique abilities and playstyle of any champ. He will never be highly rated as he is now, but he is super fun to play and actually has some awesome abilities if you get lucky enough to pull the right card.

Tech: Starlord is going to win it for me, because of nostalgia. I duped him super early on as a 5*, and he was my first R4 back when they were still hard to come by. I love how simple and powerful he can be. He was one of the first characters that really incentivized great gameplay by needing a combo, but my favorite part is also most definitely the big yellow numbers. What an OG.

Cosmic: Black Bolt has really no redeeming qualities except the hit-monke synergy, which I cannot make use of because I can't for the life of me pull a high enough monke to actually bring into quests. I just love the character and the basic design, but he is one of my most wanted buffs. (even before groot *gasp*)

Mystic: Man-thing because his animations actually make me laugh. He could definitely use a lot of damage or more useful utility, but he is really pretty lacking overall. Still okay, but not great. Very entertaining animations and concept though.

Here is where I get probably more controversial though. Here are all the champions that I have seen listed in this post that I classify as top tier (still a really subjective category but for my definition, I am basing this off categories as follows: top tier, decent, just okay, bad, and oof this one needs a buff). Not including sarcastic posts, I have seen:
BWDO, Sorcerer Supreme, Ultron, Spam, Nimrod, Venom, Stealth Spidey, Emma, Colossus.... I get that they aren't Ghost or Quake, but all of these actually have great damage, utility, uniqueness, and whatever else you should need to qualify them as top tier. If you disagree, I would love to share why in more detail.

Cosmic: Cull Obsidian, Nova, Aarkus
Mystic: Mojo, Ebony

The one I use the most in AQ. OML w/Colossus synergy.

Very interesting. What Map are we talking here?

Ctuchik

Science - Wasp. Use her for cav nodes mostly but I think her playstyle is pretty fun. High crit damage, can shake off debuffs and smooth animations.
Rhulk gets a mention too, I like him aswell, especially against mystics.

Skill - Jabari Panther. Only use her for cav nodes tho. But she is also quite fun to play.
Other than that I have a R3 Killmonger that I ranked for defense but im enjoying him more and more in other content. He is a great matchup with some nodes when you bring Void with him.

Mutant - Cant say I got to many mutants thats not top tier ranked. I got a sig 40 R2 Iceman but I barely use him outside of Arena.

Cosmic - Odin. Great synergies, great pre fights and utility. Can hit pretty hard. Bringing him more and more than I used too.

Tech - Nimrod. Really underrated champ. Tanky, great (and a little weird) utility and good damage, aslong as theyre not shock immune. Ramps up super fast against mutants. Cant wait to get my hands on a 6* one.

Mystic - Man Thing/Sasquatch. Used sassy alot when I was using 5* mostly. Got some decent immunities and good damage. But not as smooth as most of the other high tier mystics.
Man-Thing got some utility too, and good poison. Great for acid wash. Wonky but fun animations.

@Ctuchik and @Squirrelguy Great write-ups / replies here thanks. And yes Squirrelguy, I do see what you are saying if all the Champs fit into 4 - 5 tiers yes, many in my OP would be in the top. What I had in mind at the time of OP (and maybe should have said so, my bad) was like a Seatin tier list. So like 8 tiers of Champs, so to be in that very first it ends up being a pretty exclusive group. From that perspective I was looking for Tiers 2-4 of the 8 and yes I think several mentioned are 2/8 or 3/8 which if we tiered as you suggested would be 1/4 or maybe 1/5.

See what I did there? We are both right

Cosmic: red goblin. Those red numbers in the specials are so satisfying!
Tech: Vulture. Who couldn’t love those animations
Mutant: Gambit. Love this big specials
Skill: Buffed Hawkeye probably. Feel like it’s pretty ignored
Science: Overseer. Bit disappointed in the whole playable meastro, but still pretty fun
Mystic: Sasquatch. Think this guy goes a bit to unnoticed.

Grootman1294

Doc ock. Crazy utility and heavy damage. No one ever talks about him these days.

Ultron actually is a top tier champ now. This is mine
Skill-NF
Mutant-AA
Science-HT
Tech-guardian
Cosmic-groot
Mystic-doom
4/6 of the champs you listed are top tier...pay attention to thread titles instead of posting nonsense that make zero sense to the question.

No even that four just suck at gameplay. Nick fury hits like a noodle, ht has no big crits, same with AA ad doom takes so much time. Wait a minute. U say guardian isn't top tier? Triggered. And ya bro this was just sarcasm. Nothing to be serious

NuttyJoke

Skill-BWDO
Mutant-Sunspot
Mystic-Ebony Maw
Cosmic-Proxima Midnight
Tech-Guillotine 2099
Science-Red Gaurdian

Badabibidon

The Champion of the Universe can do massive damage without ever using a special attack, if your good at intercepting. Suicide masteries kind of made him less valuable though.

Sarcasm or not what you posted is unreadable bs. Don't post your blastfamy on a thread trying to get a meaningful conversation out of the community.

blitzzz

skill - hawkeye (this guy is so underrated and there are not many content with him on youtube because he kept getting bugged but he is honestly my fav skill champ right now, a very close second is KP)
science - spidey99(he is sort of a top tier champ but i really like his animations and kit)
mystic - i dont have any favourite because there are a lot of mystics i like ->doom , claire , diablord , tigra and sym supreme
cosmic - angela , but i am liking odin a lot recently
tech - nimgod , but i have not tried penni or ultron and they look pretty fun
mutant - if i am running suicides - AA if i am not - prof x (but if i had to pick one , it would be prof x )

Cam97

Skill Massacre- its just so unique but completely worth it. Sp 1 spam while mixing in heavies is fun and sp 2 is really fun to pull off

Mutant- jubilee kind of fun horseman gambit. Psylock

Tech- punisher 2099 is kinda fun. I like sentinel vs mutants

Cosmic- annhilus i always thought was ok. Idk any off the top

Mystic - Mephisto for some reason idk the whip maybe. Dormamu? Very fun power control.

Science- FF full synergy team. Overseer Although i see him as top tier.

Miles Morales, Spider-ham, Mysterio are almost always part of questing team + skill (Kingpin or Falcon) or mutant (Domino or Colossus or Magneto Now) + mystic (Doom or Claire Voyant or Dragonman or Sorcerer Supreme)..

My favorite is Man things heavy attack, he’s basically tries to do a belly flop onto the enemy.

Skill: BDWO fun to play, high burst sp2 damage more satisfying with suicides
Science: red hulk, easy playstyle, high damage
Mystic: diablo big poison damage great utility, but when playing incursions my 6*r3 morningstar with 5 charges and g99 synergy destroys nearly everything
Cosmic: venom, easy play, best spideys and warlock counter for me
Tech: Sig 200 guardian, safe play, high sp2 damage
Mutant: cable with apoc synergy, great dot, clears %70-80 monthly cav.difficulty for me with only 4-5 heavies
