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.
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.
Read my post again. My idea is predicated on
the most powerful characters in the films being the most powerful characters in the game. Not the most popular. Not my "fanboi favourites".
Geo Soldier is the arguably the most powerful character in the game because
he's not a "role player" per my definition. He has high speed and massive damage, and no interesting synergies or buffs. I run a droid team in Arena - why? Because it's competitive, not because I love droids. I understand as well as anyone the tension between wanting to use your favourite characters and having to use the best characters to stay competitive, even stupid generic ones.
It has nothing to do with the aesthetic qualities or "looks" of the characters, at least for me. I have no idea where you got that. It has everything to do with a
character's significance to the story and how their role affects the outcome. Their internal struggle, motives, actions, etc and how we identify with them. That's why people love certain characters. How many fans are going to say Han Solo was their favourite character as a kid cause his costume looked cool? That generation of (male) fans love him because he was a badass, a fearless pilot and an awesome character with a great individual story.
