Disclaimer: these are just my opinions.
Explanation of ratings:
S Tier | Usually a primary target/threat. Shapes the metagame. Team compositions are usually built around enabling and protecting these characters.
A Tier | Usually not focused until after S Tier threats have been neutralized. Still very powerful, but not as much of a threat as someone in S Tier.
B Tier | Usually focused after A Tier threats are eliminated. Has to potential to have impact on the outcome of a battle than S Tier characters if ignored, but is easily countered, i.e. one-trick ponies. Often there is a character that performs the same function but has more in their kit or less drawbacks. Usually a liability on defense.
C Tier | Not the worst characters you could possibly field, but you should only use them if you have no other character usable in arena. Having one of these on defense is a liability and paints a huge target on your back to anyone with a decent comp.
D Tier | Very useful if you have too many credits and gear lying around or need to burn cooldowns on a particularly threatening team in Galactic War. Usually never used in arena.
(Tier) | Would not be in this tier on their own. Requires being paired with another character or a specific leader and/or composition to reach full effectiveness.
At this time, ratings pertain to characters at level 76 at 7* with level IX gear (or gear X if possible). Ratings are very different for starting players.

Well obviously it wasn't indefinitely or I'd still be sitting untouchable at #1. But I've held #1 for weeks at a time before, spanning all payout times.
