tiling a 5’X6′ bathroom. The subfloor side to side is out of level 1/4″< , but just near one wall. it starts to dip about 1′ from the wall and at it’s max it’s 1/8″>1/4″. I thought about using an SLC but was wondering if i could use thinset instead? The reason is that the entire floor has a slight slope from back to front. It’s even back to front, no dips, rise, humps, low stops, etc. so i don’t think back to front is an issue. just the one side that has the low spot. it’s along the entire length of the wall.
any ideas?

Yes...you can use use thinset for that little bit of drop...under your CBU.

best to use a product you can feather out like Maepie's Planipatch for something like this

Planipatch. Mapeisonic. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I'm beginning to think whoever names the products at Mapei may be a dope smoker.
or maybe they sniff too much Mapei.
thinset will work just fine. when you mud in an electric heating mat the end result is 3/8" of thinset on the entire floor, then after it sets you tile over it. same difference.
unless you use the SLC the matt folks recommend
