How do you guys rank champs?

This occurred to me during discussions in global about top champs and made me wonder, how do you guys rank champs? What makes them worthy of top 3/5? I personally include their effectiveness in taking down the opposing class in the class wheel and their effectiveness in general.For example, look at doom. Probably the best power control in the game, yet he isn’t in most people’s top 3 mystics( understandable though). In my opinion I’d say it goes Kushala Chavez and maybe juggs? At the same time though, abs debatably has the best utility game wise in my experience. So what do you guys take into account to make a champ one of the best in their respective class, whether it be effectiveness at huge dmage( skill) or punishing buffs( mystic) To be fair, I’m also curious in you guys’ opinions on top champs of a respective class, and why?

- Strength as an attacker/defender in bgs
- Matchups the champ takes
- how fun the champ is to play
I usually follow these fundamentals, mainly 2nd and 4th since they mostly cover questing and aw champs aswell
No take up mid
Will I use this champ? And if I use this champ, will I have fun? And what value does this champ provide to my roster?
And then half a year later, my Doom still sits there at R4, level 20, untouched.
2. Kings of Nuketown in BG.
3. Defenders who cause trouble almost no matter what bs meta they are running in BG.
Sooo…BG champs 😅
And champs that are underrated and never gets banned 😜
My R3 Odin vs my R3 Bullseye, my fav Bullseye counter.
If you don't like it and don't use it. No matter how good for the meta or for BG defense. If you will never enjoy it. Do not rank it
Jk. Usually versatility and damage output. If I need someone for a specific piece of content that has good enough rewards I’ll rank them.
One more factor I’ll bring in sometimes is the “cool” factor. Champ design and how fun they are to play. Animations and stuff like that. Like me personally, aside from the name being Jack, jack-o’-lantern looks SO sick and would be like the mascot of my account like spunk is to lags spiker.
Also, constantly want use all the time or important to you.
Sometimes it's a point in time rankup, like if the champion is an MVP for a Season of Despair fight or some everest content.
I ranked up 5 of those champions for AW Defense : 7* Mojo and 6* Jessica Jones, Absorbing Man, Man-Thing and Viv Vision.
I ranked up my 7* Chee'ilth for Raids and my 6* Terrax for AW on offense because he soloes path 3 90% of the time in Challenger tier.
I ranked up my 6* Hercules and Aegon for Incursions and because they can help clear some specific content.
I recently ranked up my 6* Quicksilver for the Destroyer fight in the current SOS quest, I had him at rank 4 but I decided to rank him so I would use less revives.
And I ranked up my 6 star Mantis because I love her.
Except for Aegon and Hercules, those are also champions I love to play even Man-Thing because I have MD as an active mastery and that helps him (and Mojo) a lot on attack.
I don't really care that much about utility or damage for my 7r3 or my ascended 6r5, it's more about helping me and my team in Alliance modes, especially since I'm an officer in my alliance.
My overall favorite champ is Captain Marvel, affectionately known as "CMM". 🙅🏼♀️🥳
Damage: Her Sp 2 and 3 can do some serious damage.
Utility: has an ability called Binary Ignition where she pretty much destroys almost anything, especially Tech class and Onslaught.
She's Poison immune, has an Indestructible buff when awakened, Unblockable specials, 5 Fury buffs, inflicts Armor breaks, inflicts stun debuff when punishing heavy, can purify debuffs, Sp. 1 deals True Damage so it powers through armor, etc.
Simple Playstyle: parry/block to build charges, attack to build power...wash, rinse, repeat. Drop Sp 2. Fight over.
Uniqueness: She's one of the very few champs who benefits from energy attacks/debuffs. She's sooooooo GOATED against Incinerates, Shocks, Coldsnap/Frostbite, Radiation, Electro's "science based" shocks, Terrax's rock field, and Onslaught's neuroshocks since they all accelerate her into binary ignition. The neuroshocks get her there the fastest, like in a few seconds. 😍
Not gonna lie, she's got me spoiled 😂
So my best ones are top of the tops.
Champs everyone talks here, in global and YouTube and only a few that I wish to see upgraded
I have dozens of good champs still at R1 that may be on top too.
But Im focusing now to up Herc 6 stars to R5, only Cat 6 missing. Hope to get in December.
