In your opinion, did Valiant shift the reasoning behind R4/5ing 6*s within the last month or two?

These are just my observations from watching some more recent Youtube vids, so feel free to share your own thoughts on the matter.
With the Valiant title came the ability to get a guaranteed 6* in any pre-release bundle moving forward. Outside of just those new champs, I've noticed that more of the competitive players still seem to be investing resources into r4 and r5'ing some of their 6*s. And I'm not talking using gems, but using the raw catalysts required for these rankups.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I for one was one of the people when 7*s released who felt it was a bit too fast and that 6*s still held relativity, but a lot of people instantly seemed to focus on 7*s. They had their established group of 6r4 and 6r5s up to that point and were moving towards the future of the game.
So, is it simply for BG purposes, or are people just comfortable with uisng raw resources again to rank their 6*s, even if they don't actively "put that out"? I know I have a couple champs I'd really like to take to R5 and ascend, but I'm still waiting until I seee which champs are attained at the start of February, because there are some 7*s I'd rather use the raw materials on than the 6*s, regardless of how unlikely they are to be 7*s in the near future.
What do y'all think?

Rememebr they are only in Titan crystal. How many have you opened?
This should answer the question.
Myself, I currently only have 2 left that I’d really probably spend the raw catalysts on, and that’s Fury and Hulkling. Otherwise, I’d prefer to just r2 my 7*s, even if they may not be a ‘better’ choice (my r1 awakened Falcon to r2, over 6r5 Fury for example).
Theere's no telling how the game economy will change getting closer to 8.4 and the 100% of Act 8, but I think another factor could be related to how things like Banquet was handled for more seasoned players, and the realization that they're still keeping a somewhat tight leash on Titan shards (and large quantities of 7* shards, to an extent) for the time being, so it may be more helpful to your account to just r5/ascend that champ you've been eyeing instead of knowing for certain you could get something better in the immediate future (I'm talking 1-2 weeks tiemframe), since there's no guarantee of that.
But, @Herbal_Taxman pretty much answered that with the Valiant daily, Valiant login card, etc..which I actually didn't consider in my original post, but makes total sense.
I may get more relaxed about 6* R4/R5 if T6B/T3A/T6CC is as much easier to obtain via the Paragon daily as folks say it is. I just don’t have enough personal experience yet to say that is the case.
I have a r2 venom, and 6* r4 ascended hercules.
I have 3 t6 cosmic catalyst. I also have a 6* 4-5 generic gem.
Since 7* cosmic roster is mid, and I only have duped gorr as other good 7* cosmic, and as a 6* I have hulkling and galan.
The question is, Should I use 4-5 gen on hercules and rank up 7* gorr, Or should I use 4-5 gem on some other 6* in future, and use catalyst to rank up hercules?
Plz help.
Having said that, I don't do rankups at all unless I need it for something, which is why a 1/1 unduped Aegon was 4/55 sig180 in one hit for necro, then 5/65 ascended a week later.
When my 7* roster gets better, I will shift focus.
Normal people will just have to save up the mats slowly.
The influx of rank up mats for valiant also mean they have to use them before they expire. So rank up these 6* has never been easier.
in higher level alliance war, the right ascended r5 6* is still very very valuable.
In higher level BGs, the right r5 6* ascended champ is still very valuable.
it totally depends on the gamemodes you focus on.
I currently have 4 t6cc in Cosmic/Mutant/Science and Mystic but am waiting for 7* champs.
Exceptions to this for classes with many good 7* options are champs like Photon and Onslaught.
Only R5 champs that need and you own with max sig; also ascensions changed the way a lot.
And I'm not taking up 7s because I don't want to get to a place where I can't r2 someone that I can r3 with a gem for valiant - again, except Shuri for necro.
