Kotaku just published an interesting article on Tier list and how they affect character development. I agree with this article. Tier list can influence character exploration as most people will just switch characters deemed low tier leaving them unexplored. An example that happened in our community recently was with Captain Cold (before the nerfs). Considered low tier CC was dropped by everyone and the few players he had were crying for buffs. It took the best player in the NRS scene to demonstrate that Captain Cold was fine and had great potential (he even got him nerfed lol). Another example I can add to this was Scarecrow. Scarecrow was considered low tier before Whiteboi.
I usually pick my mains before they are released and don't care much what tier they are. Eventually they start working out or if they really are lacking they receive some buff that makes them work.
Sometimes characters are actually not low tier they just lack representation or exploration.
Anyways its an interesting read for the community.
