I think it's wonderful to have a thread about Ranked battle as it is the area in the game I struggle most with since it's AI driven and it requires 3 teams that work well together, that * can be hard to organize (largely due to the quantity of ninja it requires) and sometimes you just can't control who your teams try to interrupt. But if you look at this from the standpoint of an average or even a just above average player, all it really shows is "Hashirama, Tendo, Minato, Hokage Tsunade, Tobirama, Mei, Roshi, Darui and so on and so on are all fantastic in Ranked Battle"

That's fantastic, but you know what? I knew that already, and so do at least 95% of players on any given server under the thumb of the highest power players, that's old news, all you've done is point out the sky is blue, we get it, we've seen it.

Not to belittle what you're trying to do as I certainly appreciate seeing those characters arranged into effective formations as opposed to being thrown together like they always are because the highest power players are very, very rarely the most skillful players. But I think as Nu-wa said this causes cases where a lot of decent characters are overlooked when in reality there are probably ways to use them effectively in ranked battle, this thread should be about experimentation and understanding ranked battle so that we can try and use all characters more efficiently, not just the characters that are already obviously the best. You've brought my attention to a couple of easier to obtain characters with your list and I appreciate that, let's lean harder into that direction instead. This is an opportunity for learning and experimentation.
