I will be going for Colossus since I already have him and his awakening helps. What about everyone else who would you choose?

Personally I'm going Korg, since I already have him as a 7*.
Does their awakening add to them? Yes.
Does not having it remove their ability to do anything? No. They still have their abilities and strengths, awakening or not.
Korg with awakening - needs careful play and could mess up badly.
Thing without awakening - not a noodle but anyone can take him, play around his rockstacks and he is easy.
Thing with awakening - needs high sig but an awakening is good for a start, can't use mantis or other one shot champs.
Colossus without awakening - gaining armors is slow and affects his damage greatly.
Colossus with awakening - gains armors on parries which in turn increases his sp damage. I don't remember his awakening exactly so if there is more you can correct me.
I have sig 40 korg so that's okay I guess.
I'll take mr thing. Id go korg just for BGs sake.
Colossus works unduped but slower, and we kinda don't use him in BGs.
if you have all of them unduped - go with korg
if you have all of them duped - go thing or korg
Shortly after I awakened Thing from a basic crystal.
Seeing as I need to do more skill rank-ups, I'll probably just pick Korg again. That'll put him to sig 100. Can't really see myself using Colossus much.
With the focus on Battlegrounds, people have forgotten how good Colossus is for other content; and like a lot of champs, he can shine in the right BG meta, too.
Colossus becomes way more useful on Attack, when Awakened. Those permanent armours that can be triggered by immunities substantially increase his damage, and can help him deal with so much (in particular, he gains some great cheesy interactions with defenders like Torch, Mephisto, Annihilus; and nodes like Defective Defense)
Am going back and forth - was initially thinking Colossus but then realized since I have Dust at R2 and she covers some of the same immunities. So wasn’t sure what I’d use him for? Then again with Korg sig 20 doesn’t give him much as he really needs to be high sig, and I’ve already got an R2 awakened Killmonger and a soon to be R3 Bullseye, so not really sure I need another 7* Skill defender. Probably back on getting Colossus today since he and Dust do have enough differences in their immunities that it might help at some point. Doubt I would R2 him though.
