Commander format discussion

Also called EDH or Elder Dragon Highlander, Commander is Magic's most popular format and all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your 100 card deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic's history.

Commander combines the command zone, color identity, singleton deckbuilding, multiplayer strategies, and the entire MtG cardpool for one of the most exciting and fresh ways to play.

What do you more experienced players think of this? I'm kinda bad but this tiering doesn't really fit my decks, as it puts 9/10 into T1 and the tenth one above T2 but below T3 because it's got one "game changer" even though it's definitely not my best-performing deck

I own an FLGS and run casual commander one night a week. As time goes on everyone’s decks start to get more and more powerful. As the decks creep towards cEDH less and less people come in to play until there is no one for a few weeks. Then we go back to casual and repeat. Now having a defined tier list will help keep decks to 1 & 2 with an occasional 3 and maybe 4 for special events.
