FAQ

The origins of a tier list are a bit scattered, but the popular tier list format we see now came from the video game community. They use tier lists as a way to rank video game characters from their favorite to least favorite, or from most powerful to least powerful. Since then, tier lists have gone beyond characters—they’ve been made to rank a wide variety of things like soda flavors, snacks, candies, football teams, and more. Tier lists are meant to be a fun way to engage with friends and fellow fans.

There’s no one way to rank a tier list but, the most common ones use the alphabet or special acronyms that mean something to a fan community. In an alphabetical tier list, A stands for the “highest tier,” followed by B, and so on. You might also see “S” at the very top of a tier list, which stands for “super.” You might also see more playful rankings like “god tier” at the very top and “everything else” at the bottom.
Tier lists are also typically color-coded. Our featured tier list templates are fully customizable, so you can edit the colors of each tier however you wish.

Since tier lists came from the video gaming community, many of whom are also streamers, you’ll see them sharing their ranking lists via video, usually before they start their game. To make a tier list video of your own, you can use our video editor. First, make a tier list then open up a new video design. Record yourself going through and discussing the reasons behind your rankings. You can also opt to make a text video instead of a recording. Our video editor is filled with different animations and styles to help you create an engaging tier list video.
