Does anyone used ascended champs that you didn't use prior to their ascension

I use corvus all the time in aq and I ascended him, so I'm talking about champs like that. Any champs I ascended that I didn't use before, I still basic don't use. They sit on my bench because I just have no interest in them. Kinda feels bad having them just be a waste on the bench. Anyone regularly start using their new ascended champions? Are there any champions you use because of their ascension? Like you may have hated them before, but now they've grown on you.

I’ve increased my usage of Zemo after getting him ascended

You didnt really ascend anyone intentionally, it was pure RNG, so wether you use them or not is not a waste at all. Maybe they got prestige value; but that's about it on the wasting part.

My ibomb got ascended I use him a bit more, the rest just sit there at r3 in my case.

I think this is an experiment to see if players will place value on previously undesirable champs if they are made ascendable. If so, this creates a lever to shift the Meta away from the natural order to something that can be tailored to upcoming content.

Gentle went from r3 to r4 prestige and war.

Rest are all at r3, r2 or r1. Whatever rank they had prior. They are holding on to thier hopes of getting ranked up... sorry guys, you are staying right where you were . Lol

Once I get ascension 2 on Maestro, I'll probably take him to r5 and use him more often. Other than that, I'd love to get Strange ascended, but I'm f2play.

I took my Spider-Punk to r4 sig 200 after getting him ascended (he was r2 sig 40 before that), and he was one of my MVPs in the #Hero Ordeal run the other week. So that was a nice ascension-fueled rank-up. He hadn't really been on my radar prior to that. I knew he could do great things and he had always seemed like a champion I'd like, but I had him unawakened for so long that my initial hype around him kinda died down and I forgot about him in my roster. But when I pulled his ascension, I got the push I needed to finally invest in him (especially since he was the most wanted pull for a couple of buddies of mine).

I would overall say that there are three categories of champs, in my eyes:

The ones I already have ranked up and really want to get ascended.
The champs (like Punk) that I don't have ranked up, but who are on a kind of "I'll get to them at some point" list in my head. If they get ascended, that might push me to rank them up. Hit-Monkey is similar to Punk in that way, and he might go up now that I got him ascended.
Champs that I'm not terribly interested in, ascended or not. I have a second account where I might rank some of them up just to see what they can do, but I don't have any interest in ranking them up on my main.
