Common Challenges

  • Lack of representation: Black characters are often underrepresented in tier lists, leading to a limited pool of options for players and a narrower range of role models.
  • Stereotypical portrayals: Black characters in tier lists can be portrayed with stereotypical attributes, such as aggression or physical prowess, perpetuating harmful narratives.

Innovative Solutions

  • Promote inclusivity: Game developers and tier list creators should make a conscious effort to include a diverse range of Black characters to provide players with more options and challenge biased representations.
  • Focus on character development: Tier lists should emphasize the unique strengths and abilities of Black characters, showcasing their depth and complexity beyond stereotypical tropes.
