Hey guys!
I know a lot of my robots and choices in the recent tier list I did was fairly inaccurate, but now I have the time to rewrite it fully. I agree with most of you guys on your opinions on strider, nightingale and loki. The only reason I didn't put them higher was because they are a pretty rare sight in Champs league for me. Also, I will explain the meta as of right now, late may 2020. Enjoy! Please comment if you don't agree with the list. Note that anything left out of this tier list is not part of the meta, as I am only ranking the robots seen in Champion League.
Champion League Tier List
SSS Tier(Flies):
#1: Ravana
#2: Ao Jun
#3: Leech
#4: Blitz(DR)
My top 4s haven't changed, and the reason why I put them in SSS Tier is because I see multiple of these robots per game in Champions, and they define the meta. Ravana is ridiculous with RWF weapons, Ao Jun and Leech have the most skirmishing strength. As for Blitz, they are becoming increasingly common with the Clive Vicious pilot. They are like a leech but instead suppresses so nothing can damage it.
SS Tier(Common)
#1: Nightingale
#2: Phantom
#3: Fenrir/Falcon
#4: Loki/Strider
These are less common than the top 4s, but they you will see a few of them a game. I have a reason for putting Nightingale here. They are less common than the ones mentioned above, and while they have the best supporting ability (other than Nodens), they lack the power that the above have. A Ravana will chase it down, an Ao Jun will counterstealth and if they have Yang Lee, will roast our bird to pieces. Meanwhile, Leech and Blitz can take a few lasers, and they will run up to the Nightingale and make toast out of it. Phantom is a really fast tank that can teleport, so it is still very common. Fenrir and Falcon I think are both evenly seen, but Fenrir is a bit better because it is more all-around. Both of them can tank multiple robots at once, and my level 7 Fenrir can survive with Advanced Repair Unit against 2 ao juns and a leech. Finally, Loki and Strider are both pretty common beacon-runners, but you will mostly see them in Beacon Rush or Domination as it is their big strength.
S Tier(Less Common)
#1: Ares
#2: Tyr
#3: Cerberus
#4: Ao Guang
#5: Hades
These are still seen, but not as common as the others. Ares is an old best robot who is still good, but kind of suffers to the hands of things like leechs and ravanas. Tyr is one I didn't expect to put for S, but I see at least one every one or two games or so. Two unpopular opinions of mine, but I think Cerberus can take things out like leechs, striders, ao juns, ares and lokis if piloted correctly. Meanwhile, I think Ao Guang is a great counter to the Ao Jun because on flat surfaces, it can take out flying white dragons because it flies at the same elevation, so you can fire at them. If they fire back at you, you won't take as much damage because you have DR and you're ridding them of their greatest power. Finally, Hades is not seen as much as the others on the list, but I think it deserves this spot because its only a little less common than the Ares.
A Tier(Uncommon)
#1: Invader
#2 Bulwark
#3: Mercury
#4: Nemesis
#5: Behemoth
#6: Spectre and Inquisitor
#7: Bulgasari and Haechi
B Tier(Rare)
#1: Raven
#2: Hellburner
#3: Rayker
#4: Pursuer
#5: Lancelot
#6: Weyland
#7: Fury
#8: Kumiho
Raven is great because of the damage boost it receives as well as its mobility. Hellburner is very fast and does tremendous damage with Overload. Rayker is one of my favourite robots just because it does good damage and suppresses with its ability, not to mention it being cheap compared to most robots. Pursuer is a beacon-runner that can function as a loki with weapons every 20 seconds. Lancelot, Fury and Weyland are great tanks that can survive for long and dish out heavy damage back. Finally, Kumiho is probably the least seen beacon-runner, but that doesn't mean it's terrible! I used to have one and it took out a lot of Striders in Master League.
C Tier(Super Rare)
#1: Mender
#2: Hover
#3: Raijin
#4: Rhino
#5: Leo, Natasha and Griffin
#6: Butch
#7: Ao Qin
Mender does have a good ability, but there are better options. Hover can quickly get to center and then retreat just as fast. Raijin is actually a surprisingly good tank, as it has the extra bonus when you bring out the two shields. Rhino is a slow but strong robot, but is outclassed by things like Tyr. I only put Leo, Natasha and Griffin this low because while they are commonly seen due to lots of F2P hangars, they fall like toilet paper when using high tier robots. Butch and Ao Qin can both bring out heavy firepower, with Ao Qin having more maneuverability, Butch being able to fire more constantly.
D Tier(Ultra Rare)
#1: Gareth
#2: Fujin
The reason I put these F2P guys lower than the others is because they are rarely seen, but they die extremely quick. Compared to Leo and Natasha (And sometimes Griffin), they fall in seconds due to the abundance of energy and missile weapons. If they're all you got, use them. But try to switch out for something better!
F Tier(Pikachu Illustrator Card)
#1: Cossack
That's right, I am still seeing Cossacks in Champion League! It's not even weekly or monthly. Every day, I see about one or two of them, and they fall within seconds of the match starting. I don't know what idiot is using them, but I mean, come on!
Top Meta Weapons
Rime, Cryo, Glacier, Spark, Scourge, Calamity, Storm, Corona, Glory, Thunder/Halo/Gust (To a lesser degree), Shredder, Pulsar, Marquess, Hussar, Dragoon, Avenger, Viper, Quarker/Atomizer/Nucleon (Also to a lesser degree)
