Groot rated higher than Hercules lol
Funny stuff
Usually people who are making these lists are game veterans who played with/against all champs in all node combinations and have a good game knowledge.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you should get some more experience in game before doing tier list.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here. So far the only post I've seen from you (in terms of substantive content) is your tier list post. You've probably put a lot of time and effort into making that tier list and want to share it with other people. That's great. You shouldn't feel bad about that. But you need to understand your limitations and how internet forums work in general and how this one works in particular. And to do that you need to be able to do something I tell everyone to do, in every internet forum.
Listen before you speak.
It is no different than when you're at a party and there's a group of people talking. You want to join in the conversation. But you can't jump in and start randomly shouting at people. You need to get the groove of the group. You need to observe who's talking and what they are talking about and what kind of people they are. You need to ease into the conversation by listening to what they are saying, and think about what they are saying, and then respond to what they are interested in, in a way they are interested in.
Posting a tier list on these forums is analogous to pushing your way into a group at a party and saying "so who did you all vote for in the last election?" Tier lists are a controversial subject, not just in terms of which champs go where, but whether *any* champ goes *anywhere*. Many people think tier lists oversimplify the game in ways that then create oversimplified players, who go on to complain about everything in the game that doesn't reduce to a tier list. Making a tier list is shouting "I'm an expert at the game, look at my list."
I'm sure that's not what you intended, but this is something you need to learn. People are not judging your post like refrigerator art, they are judging it like someone declaring themself an expert. Spending time reading the forums and maybe easing into conversations about champions and their strengths and weaknesses might have revealed these things to you.
To be honest, you also sound young. You need to learn to take things less personally. At the moment I have over seven thousand disagrees on the forums. If you think people hate your posts, I guarantee I've drawn more hate than you are likely to ever face. But it isn't hatred. Those people don't even know who I am, and most could probably care less. The agree flags aren't love, the disagree flags aren't hate. They are just buttons on a forum people use to express themselves. Sometimes people express themselves by typing, sometimes by clicking. That's all.
We could all be a little nicer and more forgiving of new forum posters. But the truth is most of us are jaded curmudgeons. Try to take that into consideration, and moderate your posts a bit so they don't land all at once and wake up grandpa. Try to start small, and work your way into the conversation. Nobody starts by posting encyclopedias. Except for me, and I wouldn't say I'm the best role model. And if someone doesn't like your posts, accept that as part of sharing your ideas. Everyone isn't going to like all of them. You take the reaction, and you move on.
Let me ask you a question. You posted a tier list with like 200 champs on it. Do you play them all? Have you tested them all carefully? Do you have something interesting to say about each and every one of them? If I asked you to make a post explaining how each one works, could you do that? Heck, I'm not sure I could do that. You're trying to post what you think people want to read. Don't. Post what you think. Post what you know. Why you think Mr. Negative is below average is more interesting to me than what your tier list looks like. My guess is you just don't have a lot of experience with him, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you have some completely different take on him than I do. If you don't, and you just put him somewhere because you had to, that's uninteresting. If you put him there for a specific reason, that's interesting.
Say what you know. Ask about what you don't know. Don't be afraid to not know. No one knows everything.
