Ofc, it'd be possible to account for all those things, the Tierlists are unable to so they don't attempt to. I'd prefer aer over asi any day, even if I had aphro, the barrier breaker, more defense, short range, and low TBA are enough to give him his own niche, more useful than the garbage that asi would do, especially when you already have an amazing outranger.

The purpose of the Tierlist is to let people know how helpful generally any uber will be throughout the game when they're still a new player and haven't figured everything out. Your reason is one of why I added each ubers roles to my Tierlist, and a bunch of explanations on bc info.

Flabber literally says his methodology is if you had one uber to use throughout the entire game, which ones would be least to most useful, then he has the 3 categories of general use, niche value, and affect in niche in order to measure this use throughout the game.
