1v1 Tier List

  • Quote

Post by aelena »

This is currently my 1v1 tier list after approximately 40 games played and quite a few games watched on stream/VOD. I understand that it's very subjective and that there's alot of elements that needs to be taken into consideration (map, matchup, preference, etc). I made this list to start a discussion and to get some feedback on what's meta right now (so I can abuse it obv). So what do you think of it? General feedback and constructive criticism highly appreciated.

We need to be able to tell the difference between receiving good reviews and being absurd. That will make a better balance.
The text may be awkward using a translator, But I hope we can talk a lot about good things. GG

I don't understand what that has to do with this post, or maybe I don't understand what you mean?

I have seen a lot of people exhausting their emotions due to the balance controversy. I just wanted to say that you should be careful with it, but I would apologize if my opinion offended you.

that's why I said it's my tier list and that it's subjective while also asking for input on it ^^

Ya ok no offense but thats the game where dutch start with 7 vills and goons counter everything right?

Edit: for some useful Input i see aztec as one of the most underrated civs right now but i know many top players think they are shit (:

So on a land map would you say Japan/Sweden/Lakota are S? or would you change something else in S, and does it change on water? (apart from Lakota)

Hard to say, i think lakota is the only S tier civ on land and i don't know how strong sweden is with the last patch. To me lakota is more unbalance than japan, i feel super oppressed against them.

Move Japan to C as it needs a buff and it’s looking good.
