→Option 3: Aggregate
| Line 132: | Line 132: | ||
#'''Support*''' I do believe that tier lists are important and shouldn't be ignored because they are opinionated by nature. Aggregating is the best option, as the subjectivity is kept to a minimum by averaging out the placements. Still, I believe some disclaimers need to be put in front of all of them. First, tier placements do not mean a high tier character will always beat a low tier character, as the outcome is mostly up to the players and their experience with the game. Second, tier lists are meant for serious competitive players that are looking for every little advantage. They are irrelevant for casual players that don't care about competition and those people should be informed about that. Third, tier lists are not set in stone and are subject to change suddenly at any point. Just because a character is in one spot yesterday doesn't necessarily mean said character will be in the same spot today. | #'''Support*''' I do believe that tier lists are important and shouldn't be ignored because they are opinionated by nature.

#'''Support''' Tier lists matter, we can't just remove them and act as if they didn't. Also at least for the older games that don't get patched tier lists are in huge parts agreed on by the competitive community [[User:Patzui|Patzui]] ([[User talk:Patzui|talk]]) 05:02, November 22, 2020 (EST) | #'''Support''' Tier lists matter, we can't just remove them and act as if they didn't.

#'''Support''': I think that this is an easily implemented solution right now. I think it's a little ridiculous that new players to the game who want to see a tier list still see a 2015 tier list that just doesn't represent the modern meta. Right now I could throw an average tier list based off leffen, hbox, mew2king and armada's lists and it might not be perfect but it would be already be a more reasonable representation of the meta. Aggregate practically is also the best option because it avoids over weighting projected confidence. As long as reliable people are chosen I think it's the obvious decision | |||
