This overhaul has given us the opportunity to address many foundational issues the tier list had and rework everything from the ground up. Tier lists are inherently a problematic way to convey information and should be used carefully. Here's some limitations we have identified:. When it comes to the Global and CN split, it's quite simple - we only look at the characters available now on Global to rate their performance there and for the CN tier list we look at everything available in the game there Mod Keys, synergies etc.
To help identify and distinguish between otherwise unrelated characters grouped in the same tiers, the tier list has been further arranged into columns to loosely categorize characters along the general lines of team building. These columns sort the characters into:. The intention behind the columns beyond decluttering the tier list is to provide newer players better context regarding a character's role in the team. While this arrangement helps organize the tier list, it is not without its trade-offs.
Players are encouraged to consult more detailed community resources to understand characters' exact roles within their teams. Also, characters often occupy multiple roles, and concessions inevitably must be made to fit them into a rigid column structure.
After receiving feedback about the tier list, we've decided to change Vepley's category and adjust her rating.
We also received additional feedback and are considering splitting the tier list from a generic one to two separate categories: Generic content and Bossing. Since different characters shine in different places, having a single rating that tries to average the performance isn't fair. You're currently viewing the Global Generic tier list. It shows how the character performs in non-bossing content available in the Global server list in the tabs above.
