Back when I first started getting into the game I knew that someone who was much better than me would have an opinion on the relative strengths of champions. I found L0custs tier list early in the forums. It was very popular, getting a huge amount of views and replies.

A New Challenger Approaches
Then as Season 1 approached another tier list designed specifically for 5v5 premade draft mode began picking up steam. Elementz had addressed the future competitive side of LoL and everyone was even more intrigued.

When L0cust quit updating his list regularly, Elementz's list became the de facto standard of insight into the high level player's perception of this game.

I still checked in from time to time to see how this individual viewed the champions power levels, and why he decided to place them there (great addition to the format).

Where's the Beef?
Over the past couple of months though, I have found that people are using Elementz's list for judgement of our likelihood to win in champ select. Even if they didn't quote the infamous list, they would still use terminology quoted or paraphrased from the post as to why someone should not play the champion they wanted to.

Not everyone is capable of understanding (reading) the disclaimers

• 5v5 premade
• Highest of Elos
• One man's opinion
• the list is flexible upon learning something new
• lower tier doesn't mean isn't viable

When I wanted to play Kogmaw before his minor buffs, I got laughed at and ridiculed because he was low tier. But then when the game shifted to Tanky DPS and high level rediscovered Kogmaw's range and damage, Elementz moved him up and then I had to fight to get a game in as him. (Maybe not the best example)

What Would JRaccoon Do?
Personally if I was Elementz (actually all Colored Names) and I cared about letting the game evolve naturally, I would move the tier list to your new site and the council forum; let those who are truly interested in your view go find the ranking. For all of us nooblets who just want to emulate the best, some of us aren't ready to find our own way to play when someone better is telling us how.

P.S.
I truly think that Elementz has a right to voice his own opinion, however his opinion is even affecting the core of the game right now.

P.P.S.
Elementz seems like he's a cool guy and all, but he does seem a bit full of himself. (Probably earned that right in this game though)

TL&DR
@Elementz: Please remove the tier list for the benefit of the game as a whole. It's not your fault that people are ignorant, but you can quickly and easily alleviate the problem. Thanks for reading.
