Devs, stop releasing dead-on-arrival 5s !!! What is the point of releasing mediocre chars?!?!?

Part of the problem is that the kit on these non meta 5-stars is so much worse than what we've seen on the 4-stars over time. Granted, nobody wants to see a 5-star version of Polaris, but compare the 3/4/5 star versions of Captain Marvel, DocOc, or Wasp. You don't have to have a meta 5-star to be usable. I routinely use Onslaught, ProfX, and Dr. Strange as support characters because they have interesting powers that have synergy with my meta characters. Most of my 5-star champs never see the light of day. There was a time, when the Devs had committed to reworking a number of older characters, but that effort seemed to have died off.

I only just champed Okoye earlier this year. This last event was my first experience with a level 562 Okoye (boosted).  I can see why players run her up to 550, and how much easier it would make my grind than throwing those resources at the latest legends.  My champed Knull was a real disappointment. Interesting kit, but even recently boosted, his damage output was underwhelming.  I just don't see burning my limited resources chasing new 5 stars that I'm not likely to use.  

YMMV
