Long story short, 5* champs haven’t functionally been reduced to 4* champs, but the shards might actually be less desirable depending on what’s happening in your account.
My account is endgame, I keep using Hercules 5* on M8 and I use 5* in specific events like Carina, sometimes I need to use Human Torch or Magneto because they don't have 6*.
The only place the 5* doesn't have space is in AW master+, you can even use it, but you'll run a very big risk of dying if it's a very difficult fight.
If it's not a champion with very specific utility, I wouldn't spend resources going up 5*. Champions that I believe are worth climbing if you don't have a 6* version and haven't done the endgame content: Hercules, Aegon, Human Torch, Magneto, Quake, Knull, Falcon, Stryfe, Void, Anti-venom.
1. Where you are in the content
2. How many 6 Stars you have
3. Your activity in arenas
If you are at a stage where you can get your hands on many 6 stars, then rank up 6 stars. 5*s can still clear content (I am cavalier, and dont do story quests anymore -so I dont have visibility of act 6.4 onwards). Very helpful in arenas (especially the catalyst ones, where you can get 30 units in 6-7 rounds with maxed 5 stars). And as Konstant45 mentioned, invest in 5 stars where high sigs are required. Even though I have a 6 * CAIW (not awakened), i went to R5 my 5* as i had 200 sig on him
I really just play for fun, don’t feel the need to clear every piece of content to do that. If it’s a 5-star of a classic character that I am not gonna get as a 6-star maybe ever, I don’t have a problem ranking them for fun
Yeap 5* matters
I never use any of my 5s champs besides t1a and t4b arena, which I really dont care about, because these rank up materials are very easy to get.
Function of a champ can change with a dupe, and it can create new strategies.
For example, I ran a lane in Act 7 that punished stealing a power gain, but it was okay for the boss.
My unduped 6* Doom was fine for the lane.
For the boss, the 5* was great.
Another lane caused power gain per buff.
My unduped 6* Venom allowed me to gain power slow and steady.
My duped 5* created a big power surge up front.
Different fights favored different approaches.
For the others: not really anymore.
Belonging to the « others »:
In quest: for rare key champions, that I haven’t got in 6*.
In arena: to start a chain without wasting 6*.
In AW: 1 defender is 5r5.
In AQ: replaced by 6*.
Otherwise I open 5* crystals for the iso and some 6* shards by duping.
For a long moment, no more waste of T5BC and T2AC on 5*. So no more up above 5r2-r3.
