The place where they really shine is actually on defense due to the massive benefit from mystic dispersion. When mystic dispersion is nerfed in a few days, their value will drop significantly, and we probably won't see them anymore in defense. With the upcoming nerf to mystic dispersion, I would not use t2a anymore on mystic champs that features highly on defense (Eg. Dorm, Mephisto, Juggernaut) Maybe even t4cc I would tread lightly, depending on where you are in the game.

My 4/55 sig 100 Dormammu was getting 1-2 kills in nearly every war in Season 3. We finished in Platinum 2. I removed Mystic Dispersion before Season 3 started. Is Dormammu a better defender with the current version of MD? Sure. But his effectiveness didn't go down as much as people are suggesting it might. Even without MD, I'd say that Dormammu is still in the top 10% of all defenders in this game. Most double-immune champs in this game are a little low in the attack rating department. I wouldn't say that's unique to Dorm. His real utility comes from his power control, which I argue is among the best in the game. Many say Magik is better. She's great, but I find Dormammu more effective (plus the double immunity means I can use him more than Magik). I'd say that only Vision rivals his utility as far as power control goes. I've used Dormammu in a fair number of celebrity challenges to great effect. When used properly, he's been an MVP in certain event quests (I've got a video somewhere of Dorm simply eviscerating an Uncollected Hyperion boss with Power Gain and Power Reserve.) He's not the offensive weakling some think he is. I've got mine at 4/55 and I used a generic awakening gem on him. I don't regret either decision and in light of the recent MD change, I wouldn't rank him down if given the chance.
