Your claims are getting a little too bold. Mind you, I'm not a tierist, and I have to suppress dislike every now and again, but... I'll just quote myself on this one: Anyways, now to stop with the discussion lessons. I want to stress that the existence of tier lists isn't even a question. I mean, people created them. Therefore they exist. However, what should be discussed and what I think people actually discuss (yeah let's mistake the other side, we haven't made enough mistakes yet) is how much significance tier lists hold. And I have said this before: Tier lists only start to matter at the point players hit the skill ceiling. Only a handful of players become as good as gamers can get. In other words, tier lists don't matter until the higher reaches of competitivity. And if there's something that has come to mind, it's that those that dislike tier lists usually don't make money like the top group does. They disagree with tier lists because it quite simply doesn't matter for them. They dislike tier lists because some of the more moronic tierers laugh at them (or whatever indignified behavior) for not adhering to the tiers when they don't even have to. It's really simple. Those who adhere to tier lists are right in their own environment. Any among them who take it to the casual scene lose that correctness, because it doesn't matter there.

Also, while I don't want anything to do with tiers, I rather believe people who actually spend days on research. Trust me, that's more knowing what one's talking about.
