Just have fun and don't worry about who is "better" because a character can only be as good as the person playing it.

The people who care are the people who play at top level. It's fine to just play who you want at a basic level (everyone will just be smashing or item whoring anyway), but the more seriously you take the game, the more the tiers come into effect.

It's not the case that people want to all play the best character, the tiers were created so that different competitions could be arranged for them.
