Why would anyone use any toon aside from those ranked tier 1? In video games balance will always trump lore.
And because those hypothetical tiers correlate only to speed. A balanced meta wouldn't require 5 high speed characters.
Quit while you are ahead, you keep contradicting yourself.
It doesn't matter what tiers EA chooses, whether it's speed, hps, damage, etc. Your idea is predicated on the fact that the most popular characters should be the strongest, whatever that means regarding the meta - if speed is king, they should be fastest, if damage is king, the should have the highest DPS, etc.
So the point everyone brought up it valid, and is the main failing point of your idea. No one would use any characters outside of your Tier 1.
You mentioned "if balanced properly, lower tier characters could provide advantages and synergies that would outweigh the benefit of running 5 tier 1 characters."......umm....THAT'S WHAT THEY ALREADY DO.
No one plays GS because we all remember how awesome they were in the movies. We use them because in a video game we min/max to achieve the best team. Only Star Wars fanbois are upset and but-hurt that their favorite toons aren't more powerful. If GS is the best DPS, I'm going to use him, I don't care if he looks like a bug. If Ugnaught was the best, you can be sure he would be on my team. If you choose not to use him because he looks "ugly", that's your bias. That's like saying you play chess, but you won't use the Bishop because don't like him, you like the Rook better. Meanwhile, I'll play whatever pieces I feel are necessary to win. You are putting yourself at a disadvantage of your own design.
