*'''Avoid giving undue prominence to certain views'''. Reporting on opinions should reflect the relative level of support they have. For instance, it is widely accepted among players that the [[tier list]] holds true and that tiers exist; while a number of players may oppose the concept of tiers or not believe that tiers exist, this view is ultimately in the minority in the present day, and it should not be presented as a mainstream view or as being equal to the larger argument. | *'''Avoid giving undue prominence to certain views'''.
