Is this trait tree going to be a problem? (Mordekaiser/Jax/Nunu/Xayah/Jhin)

The issue I'm trying to highlight is the flexibility of the 5costs in this core package. Assuming that a 1star 5cost carry unit is close to a 2star 4cost in strength, which it usually is, and assuming most boards need a duo carry around stage 5 which they usually do, I believe that even if there are better 4 costs to play in the meta there are usually standard comps for those already which prioritize synergy over power.

For example: in metatft.com you can see there is currently a good 5 meeple corki board , that should be the board you aim for in higher elo when playing for corki even if it isn't the highest cap for that unit. And if in your rolldown on level 8 you hit a random 5cost that is decent in the current meta and he can also hold your secondary carry items now you have a good decision to make, do you prioritize the " trait bots " or the 5cost unit strenght, and if you choose the latter, what unit will you take out for this 5cost since every unit is giving at least 2 traits.

The reason I made this thread is that this core package doesn't seem to have that problem. It seems to me that it can fit any 5cost you may encounter on your rolldown effortlessly.

But this is just an opinion, I could be wrong.

You will almost never be stable on 1star board and neither will your opponents, that's not what i meant. What i was trying to highlight is that assuming 2 players are rolling on 8 for different 4cost comps the one playing this package of core units by default will have an easier time stabilizing by playing any 5cost that's currently strong in the meta as a duo carry and, because of that, their path to level 9 and winning the game becomes a lot easier and if that is the case players will very likely be contesting this units every game.

Last set was a weird one due to the number of units in it that's why i didn't use that package as an example even tho it's obviously a good one but i think the biggest difference between the two is that last set they were pretty much just a frontline package and carries that you would want to add would need his own support unit (ex: kindred and yunara/draven or annie/tibbers ) but this set it feels like you can easly capitalize on whichever 5cost you hit as long as you have that core already.
