All fun and games until you put Saria and Nearl above Gummy (I will come to your house.) So: With every new event, like Gavial Alter and Ebenholz and the future Mlynar and Texas Alter, people like to know where these goofy goobers are in the meta. Unfortunately, Tier Lists are possibly the worst method to learn this information. ANNOTATIONS: First of all, apologies for being 1 day late on the “one video a week“ schedule that I have never mentioned until now and will never mention again purely because if I go too long without publishing something I feel deeply uncomfortable. The video I was intending to publish was a sketch, but the more I edited it the more I just didn't find it funny or good enough to publish. So here's this instead. -Tier Lists aren't COMPLETELY useless. Cesith's Tier Lists, for example, tell you exactly what they are for right at the start: They are nothing more than simple, very vague guidance. They are NOT to be followed closely, they serve purely as an extremely superficial overlook of the whole game that you can glance at as a very general idea of the Operators' placements in the meta. -Gamepress Tier Lists, by far, do the most effort do mitigate every issue presented in this video. They feature various visual indicators relating to various specifications, and a whole “explanation“ button that explains to you why that operator is placed there. This effort is very much appreciated, and it surely makes the Gamepress Tier List the best one out there, but the fact you can filter by tier is still absolutely shocking. It defeats the entire point of Class Tier Lists, and makes the whole Gamepress Tier List EXTREMELY misleading. -Cesith also puts a lot of work in his Tier Lists, but it is ultimately a fruitless endeavor. It will come a point where adding too many annotations to a Tier List just makes it become an analysis video. Staying to Tier Lists will always, inherently, be too superficial for this game. I am certain that, as he himself states, a lot of thought goes into the placements of the operators. However, that thought can never be expressed in a Tier List. -Despite some jokes in the video, I don't truly think people look at tier lists because they are bad at the game. I'm sure some do, but I know for a fact the biggest reason is time. Arknights is probably the one popular gacha that wants the most time from you. The game is complex, so ideally you'd need to examine and watch reviews for the individual operators, but often people just don't have the time for it. A Tier List is much more accessible, takes around 100 times less time to consume, and technically gives out the same information. - - CONTACT INFORMATION - - CONTACT / BUSINESS EMAIL: supahcontactemail@ DISCORD: SUPAH#-3238 DISCORD SERVER: TELEGRAM: @SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH CARRD: # - - OUTRO WALLPAPER - - - - SHAMELESS, UNAPOLOGETIC TAGS - - SUPAH, Arknights, Gummy, meme compilation, Skit, Sketch, Hypergryph, Gacha Arknights Gameplay, Arknights Guide, Arknights Tutorial, Operator Showcase, Event Overview, Should you build, Should you get 0:00 Intro 1:12 Why Tier Lists don't work 5:06 Game Mode Tier Lists also don't work 5:56 Class Tier Lists are misleading 7:41 Gamepress is REALLY misleading 8:49 Why are Tier Lists so popular? #Arknights
