Thoughts on Switch after initial clear of Act 5 (and crazy crystal opening rollercoaster)

Just wanted to share a story.
So, today was one of my favorite days in the 3+ years I’ve played this game.
I completed my initial clear through Act 5 after having become Uncollected a couple months ago.
Used:
4/55 Blade (awakened)
4/55 Hypeman (unawakened)
5/50 Switch, Void, Medusa, AA, Ghostrider
I used a few hundred units, because I boosted up as much as possible, and maybe healed up more than I should have.
Highlights:
Switch. At sig 99 5/50 boosted to the max she is as good, pound-for-pound, as any champ in this game. I cleared entire paths with her, especially the rage paths. She made for some downright dominant fights. Surprisingly so.
Blade was amazing for so many fights, but Switch (at her most dominant) was Blade’s equal in every way.
I one-shotted 5.4.5 Mephisto with Void. Pretty easily actually.
Almost one-shotted Ultron with Medusa, but I think I was just too excited at this point.
During 5.4.3, even with the 50% class disadvantage, Hypeman with a few furies is amazing.
Bought the 750 unit boost package today after realizing just how valuable those big boosts are.
Then, my crystals...
Yesterday’s 5* was Kamala
Today’s cinematic crystals were 5* Starky and 5* Killmonger!
Post Act 5 crystals were OG Cap dupe and first time pull Magneto.
Crazy rng.
Currently 275 shards away from my first 6*.
Best of luck to all of you.

I mean, SW is amazing, but it's been that way for almost the entire time the game's been out. I don't think she deserves special recognition, as many other champs do slightly outmatch her, but she is worthy of high tier. Her crazy damage output, power drain, and veil of fortune, especially at a high level, definitely make her an insane powerhouse.
Most of my alliance members had great pulls from cinematic crystal eg. 5* Killmonger, Wasp, IMIW, etc.
I got 5* Sparky from cinematic crystal. Got 5* Hulk and duped my 4* 5/50 Sparky just earlier today. All in all, best day ever in the game.
Congrats on clearing ACT 5 and those fantastic pulls
I know Switch has her reputation as being amazing. Pre-nerf or post. Just wanted to share my experience with her during initial clear of Act 5. She is so fun and just beautiful to play with.
I think she is safe as a 5*. Will she be one of the very best champs in the game? Yes. She would need her sig scaled down a bit to reflect the same percentages as the 4* to keep her in line, but anyway, as is she is so flexible and dynamic. As current content stands, she is one of the best champs for 100% story mode and monthly quests.
Five star Switch would be awesome; and could definitely be adjusted by reducing her proc rate and the number of buffs/debuffs produced.
Additionally, her effects could be altered by introducing some of the other buffs/debuffs introduced since she was last adjusted. Some of the effects she currently can't cause include the following:
Debuffs:
Fatigue
Exhaustion
Shock
Incinerate
Degeneration
Concussion
Unlucky
Phantasm (Heal reversal)
Petrify
Fate Seal
Buffs:
Lucky
Life Steal
Rage
Energy Resistance/Physical resistance
Emergency Shield
Prowess
Thorns
Aura of Incineration
SMASH!
Invulnerable/Unstoppable/Unblockable (probably best avoided)
I agree - that's Concussion (or Dazed). Or a copy of Void's Anti-Evade debuff.
Wait
