Looks like I didn't express that well. Sorry, let me do it again.

Yes, playstyles can change and become obsolete over time; and yes, tier rankings should change gradually to reflect this; but what Appmedia is doing is not too influenced by keeping up with Meta. Their tier list seem to fluctuate so much after the introduction of certain servants. For example, I remember that after the introduction of Skadi, some quick servants got a huge boost in their rankings, and certain servants like TamaLancer got downgraded (the reason they provided at that time was because the 'quick situation i.e. Scathach' made TamaLancer's demerit not worth it anymore).

You can argue that quick servants are good for farming, but again most of them can do so because of Skadi. Take Skadi away and they're back to being 'bad' units. Incidentally, as further accusation on my side, Scathach is still ranked A+ (you can argue that she's good at what she does, but again, need Skadi with break bars). Hence why I consider Appmedia ranking to be too dependent on meta servants. Consequently, this mean that team-comp and situational flexibilities, and ease to achieve peak performance are usually ignored. Which what they seem to be doing to Musashi this time.
