Making 5* champs more prevalent

Kabam obviously wants 5* champs to be more prevalent in the game. More and more are being added to the crystals, there are always offers to buy 5* shards, there's 5* shards in calendars, as rewards, more and more, etc.
But 5* champs will not be prevalent until they are more easily attainable and their rankups and awakenings more viable.
T4CC are still scarce (less so than before, but still very scarce) and 5* crystals are hella expensive. If Kabam wants people to have more 5* champs and use them, they should lower the price of the 5* crystals.
It never made sense that a PHC is 2000 shards, and so is a 4* champ, yet a 5* champ is 5x that and a feature is 7.5x that. I suggest lowering the cost of a 5* hero crystal to something more reasonable like 4-5k shards, and a feature crystal to 7.5k. Also, maybe do a 5* hero arena once a month.
T4CC need to be more readily available as well. 4* need T4CC at the last rank, and are still good at 4/40. Why would I take a 5* champ to rank 3 if they are unawakened, when I can take a 4* to rank 5 and awaken them, and easily pump 30-40 sig stones into them if I need to.
Kabam wants us to focus more and more on 5* champs, but I don't see a point of doing that if they are not giving us the tools to make them good.

We're getting there.
No, the crystals don't need reduced cost.
No, we don't need even more shards.
They're working on it.
Kabam has enough to work on, without utterly flooding the game with 5*s.
I personally have 55k shards saved right now.
That's 5 basic crystals ready to go. Imagine if they just cut the cost in half.
I now get 11 5*s. That doubles the amount of 5*s I have (with no dupes).
It doesn't work.
There's shards available. Go get them.
A. Can't dupe a good 5*
B. Still struggle to get T4cc
C. struggle with managing variety of other resources i.e. Not enough basics, not enough T1 alphas
D. Simply find better uses of resources still in 4*s
That's my point. They are releasing more and more shards. But we need ways to rank them up and awaken them. Also, even with the amount of shards they release, one crystal is still way too expensive compared to a 4*.
But t4cc are still incredibly rare and hard to get, as well as 5* gems, sig stones and dupes. I don't want to rank up my 5* antman when I can rank up my 4* cap ww2 with the same t4c.
I have already had 2 5* awakening gems: one from LOL, one from something else (rift maybe?). And tons of Sig stones, which were also a fairly recent addition to the game. I don't see them increasing any of this for quite a while, too much availability will make them create 6* champs to drive the Desire up.
And to add salt to the wound, some people in my alliance recently took 4* champs to 5/50 and now those champs are available as 5* variants again since the old featured champs are being added back to the pool. We don't have a lot of t4c in my alliance and that feels like a huge waste of resources.
I recently ranked up the champs I previously listed, but that was mostly recycling the catalysts from rank down tickets. Thankfully, I'm not in the position as your alliance mates. I've been hoarding my t4cc since 12.0 to save for a decent 5* champ.
Still waiting and hoarding...
Well if I have 3 skill t4c that I got after a year of playing, and I have a 5* black panther or a 4* gwenpool, I would rather use the t4c on gwenpool.
I don't have either. It's an example. I'm just saying they want to focus on 5* champs, but there's not enough catalysts around to allow for that
