A tier list for ranked is much more subjective than one for normal teams.

An example, If you do not have tsunade 5th Hokage, Jigokudo is the single best healer that can be in your lineup. Yet he is B tier.

Presumably you have tsunade 5th Hokage and Hanzo, thus Jigokudo is redundant for such a lineup, however without tsunade who often heals your whole lineup, Jigokudo is priceless since he can heal 2 units, dispel debuffs and revive fallen units.

Another example, you put Minato as an S tier ninja. Yet he is rathet squicky and you need him to be on move 1 or 2 to be efficient at interrupting. This means that you need to put a tank in front of him, otherwise he might just be killed in the first rounds of the fight. At the same time you put Raza, a ninja with super armor, paralyze chase and immobile mystery as C tier when he can stop a whole 4 man unit of your opponent in its tracks (A raza - kazekage - Nagato - Earth main unit is deadly on ranked, and it has 2 C tier ninjas and 1 A tier one).

And i haven't talked about a skill broken sasuke who is very useful in ranked since it can paralyze 9 units, create a barrier turn 1 and his chases allow him to connect many ninjas together.

While I appreciate the effort of making such a list, people who use it must take into account that it will nor accurately reflect the strength of a ranked lineup. A ranked team with A tier ninjas can be easily defeated by a better thought lineup filled with mostly B tier or even C tier ninjas.

The one I do agree is OP for ranked is tsunade who can heal up to 9 units. That's insane.

The thing is depending on your lineup, an A tier ninja might be less useful than a C tier. Thus players who are just starting with the game can essentially force them into their lineups in a detrimental way for them

I think that separating ninjas into tiers, which in of itself is already somewhat subjective, can be counterproductive to readers and does not really help in making lineups.

However, pointing out which ninjas have great talents for ranked (tsunade hokage, Hanzo, Roshi, sailor, etc.) or even better actually giving examples of strong ranked 4 man teams would be of great use to others.

The ninja tier list was controversial since some meta lineups ninjas where B tier, This applies even more so to ranked where the synergy of teams must take into account the 3 lineups! Han can be a A tier ninja if you make teams that get stronger over time and do not rely on initial buffs, while it can be E tier if you are a LM with a swordsman ranked lineup.

So yes, it is a problem that jigokudo is B rank or chojuro C rank. New players may think that they are * for ranked while in reality they can become the keystones of a team. Thus comming back to my initial statement, organising ninjas by tiers for ranked is not a good idea and is not the same as pointing out which ninjas are good or bad for such an instance.
