Mr Hat wrote about Guild Powerlevel Tiers on discord recently. Do note that this is speculative, and that Hat marks it as hos own take, not anything official from GBCP or SFG. Very interesting tidbit nontheless!
He went on to add this:
Well, to be fair, we’ve already buffed Falconers (Ikaros), Ratcatchers (Miasma) and Order (Brisket). It might need a bit more time (and more games) for the game to settle and show I’m wrong about thinking they’re still a bit behind the curve.
We’ve also tackled the issue that is Steeljaw quite a bit, which made hunters drop from S-tier, but they still have some excellently strong models. And the fact that brewers is on A, is because they have fairly strong matchups into alchemists and hunters. If those two drop down, the Drunks might also average out a bit more.
The only thing I’m (read this I, not GBCP) worried about is Soma/Pneuma, as he seems to still terrorize the tournaments quite a bit. We’ve already dropped him down a peg with the nerf to Phosphor, but I fear it’s not enough… Alchemists have been top dog since S4 started, it seems. It’s been quite an issue, but we’ll address it in time.
My own focus mostly is on in-Guild balance nowadays. Teams that have a few auto-picks that push out some other models that never see play. I’d like to see all miniatures see play, and not just the odd 3-4 models every single game. This has become my focus because I feel that the inter-Guild balance seems to be stabilizing quite a bit towards the ideal 45-55% winrate range.

Hoping I’m not putting unwanted pressure on mr Hat for posting this here, I just think it’s interesting reading that is worth sifting out from the daily discord discussions 🙂
See you on the pitch ballers!
