I've waited to champ my first 5* for about a year until I could champ 3 at once. Now that I've champed Thanos, Logan and Tony, PVE has gotten a bit faster, but PvP is a disaster as I'm only paired up with people who have 3 (good) 5* champs. I used to get the 4*, now I don't even get to the Heroic 10 pack in a season.
So if you don't care about PvP, champ away. If you do, wait until you get a few good 5* to champ at once.
If you mainly play PVE, then it's a no-brainer: doing a few thousand in match damage is insane and will speed you along.

The reason you get going to 900 in s4 probably relates to when you climb and how you chose to play. As it relates to when you climb and how high you climb. You probably climbed to early in the event and ran out of appropriate value targets. Specifically this happens when there are 3/4 super high scorers/front runners and the rest of the bracket is only 200-400 points. If you wait until the entire top 10 has scored over 1000 points, then you won't run out of targets. The second point is how you climb. You should assume that any person you que can and will retaliate your win within 10m. So you have to pick targets based on Score Asymetry,; size of their roster, Timezone advantage, likely hood of response. Tl/dr. You climbed too early, and your only hitting people who are intentionally staying out trying to make 75 wins etc.. instead of hitting players who can't hit back because of score differences or stuck under shield buy.edit: It should be noted that even in high scoring shards. waiting until the entire t10 is over 1000 is just shorthand for saying don't play until the last 18hrs.
