I agree. You can't really say it's short sited as much as it is hindsighted. Since it is based off results it doesn't change until results have already happened. Then, Should the basic results change instantly(always happens). The tier list starts to look stupid resulting in a change.
As for IC's Why the **** they are hogging B-tier is kind of silly. With Wobbling now legal I see no reason for them to be outside of A. Puff I think deserves to be top simply because basically 3 or 4 people play Puff and she's placing top 3 pretty much all the time. I disregard the argument of "this character sucks but this player is special" Simply because....well the logic fails.
