Is Ratchet 5s worth it?

I love my 4s Ratchet but he's so underpowered. Is the 5s version any good?

Most people write him of very easily cuz of his low damage output. Thats only partially true because most people only use melee, heavies and sp attacks. The damage output of these attacks are relatively low in comparison to for example OG or MV1. However for people who are good in using range attacks Ratchet is quite a good bot since these attacks cause shocks and these stack up melting the opponents health away.
But the real quality of Ratchet is his incredible ability to heal himself. Since the amount of heal is based on his base health this ability will get better with an 5* since the base health is much higher than a 4*.
So I would definitely get him!
Kinda not my cuppa, despite his aforementioned synergies.
Quite like my meh-city towards Ramjet.
They don't stack, but the proc rate goes up if two Ratchets are present.
1st or 2nd nerf? Lol. That's okay, there are better bots now that also heal. If you want him just for the OG synergy then the 4* does just as well.
You must be very suburban.

Ratchet is definitely not underpowered. Those who think he is just haven't figured out how to properly attack with him.
He is all about ranged shock + chain stun.
He can deal tons of damage, very quickly.
Here is my maxed 4s Ratchet. Yes I do use chain stun and shock. Long fights still.
Alas, Wheeljack 5* on HA with nanomastery is the stuff of nightmares.
And that terribly efficient 5*, 9000Pi Shockwave which decimated 2 of my Raid team.
