They just make me feel like I'm gonna fail in the end. It sounds like I'll never be good with a certain character if I ever believed in tiers. Its just like what Fendante was saying. It's a discouraging bs thing to believe in. Then again, if I believed in it, then I wouldn't bother with Raph, I'd be a whining complainer who thinks accoplishment & measurement of success is futile.
Does that answer your question?
If you aren't going to become a top level tournament player, you are never going to master the character anyways. As such, tiers won't apply to you. That doesn't mean they don't exist, it just means they never come into play FOR YOU.
Play whoever you want, but if you want to become truly good, then tiers help you measure an effort to results ratio. Wouldn't it suck to put thousands of hours into a character, reach tournament level play, and find out you are handicapped against similarly skilled players?
That's why you don't lie to people about it.
I'm not trying to "win" an argument. I'm trying to prevent people from spreading false information.
