A ton of tier 2 characters need to be downgraded to tier 3 lemme explain why.
If you didn't get the message already, in order to be tier 2, you need to strictly destroy an entire timeline. Not just the universe and its space time but every single point of the past, present and future. Take the Big Bang for example, it's the creation of the universe, and by extension space time, however it didn't create the past present and future at the same time, only a singular point in time. When destroying a timeline, you're basically destroying the universe an infinite amount of times simultaneously. The same can be said for multiversal characters. Destroying multiple universes in one era =/= destroying multiple timelines.
Let's take DBS for example. For lots of people, including myself, saw the BoG feat as 2-C because it has multiple realms. This feat actually does include space time destruction. The living universe is based on our own, just like our universe, it would have it's own body of space time. The realms are also spatially separated, and breaking the spatial borders would be destroying space time. That's all fine and dandy but we failed to understand that it's not just space time, but the entire past present and future. Another example is how Zeno destroyed multiple universes but not the timeline (at least in the anime).
Universal destruction (3-A) should include space time so jumping from 3-B to 3-A via large scaling or multipliers shouldn't be a thing. The gap between 3-B and 3-A should be unquantifiable. This may include characters who are 3-B for over time universal destruction.
Let’s see how this goes.
My Premise
3-A is for character who can destroy a universe. Low 2-C is destroying a universe and it's space time, and 2-C is destroying multiple universes. Sounds simple right? Well I have a slight problem with this. 3-A assumes busting the universe = destroying all the matter, such as all the planets, stars, nebula, etc. This is more like "multi galaxy++" instead of universal. In Reality when destroying the universe you'd have to destroy it's space. When you destroy its space, you destroy it's time because they're relative. One cannot function without the other. Therefore 3-A should be automatic space time destruction. Now I know what you're thinking, "but Zamasu, destroying space time with the universe is low 2-C." Yes and no. One, the universe = celestial bodies + space time. Now here's where my problem comes in.~ KingPinIn general, I feel like many of the tier 2 DBS supporters don't understand space-time continua or tier 2 that well. Destroying a space-time continuum doesn't just mean destroying the spatial universe as well as the flow of time so that time no longer flows - it means destroying the spatial universe at every point in time, from the beginning to the very end. This is what qualifies you for Low 2-C and up, although it is not the only way to reach that high, of course.
For Infinite Zamasu to be Low 2-C off of merging with Universe 7, he would have to be spreading throughout it not only spatially, but temporally as well - in other words, into the past and the future. He evidently does not do this, because we don't see him going across time beyond a small part of him showing up in the present, and he is killed by a technique that evidently did not erase the timeline itself, since Whis can still go to a point in that timeline before Zeno erased everything in it.
In the first place, declaring Universe 7 to be its own space-time continuum distinct from the other 11 Universes implies that its past and future are not shared with the past and future of any other Universe, and yet Gowasu and Zamasu know about Future Trunks having gone into the past to change Goku's fate because it created a new time ring in their drawer, which suggests that the 12 Universes share the same time axis, after all.
To be honest, any verse that scales characters to somewhere in the multiversal levels of power based on destroying multiple universes should be downgraded if it is provable that those universes were only destroyed at one moment and not across all moments. Even if they are causally separated, the most this would grant is Interdimensional Range.
~ UltimaLow 2-C is effectively destroying uncountably infinite snapshots of the spatial universe, so, yeah, it isn't the same thing as 3-A anyway.
~ KingPinI do think we're too generous with tier 2 ratings, if that's what you mean. I feel like people take anything involving multiple universes and/or space-time too liberally and default to tier 2, even if it is illogical. Proper timeline busting would require destroying universes at every point in time. If you don't do that and you don't have reliable statements of being able to significantly affect space-time, you shouldn't be tier 2. This is also why I think that affecting multiple universes, even if they are spatio-temporally separated, is not necessarily what we would call a multiversal feat if no apparent time shenanigans happen. You could possibly still get tier 2 range out of it even if it doesn't mean tier 2 AP, though.

Conclusion
If any low 2-C to 2-A characters are rated the way they are without the mention of timelines or the past present and future, they should be downgraded.Universal destruction (3-A) should include space time so jumping from 3-B to 3-A via large scaling or multipliers shouldn't be a thing. The gap between 3-B and 3-A should be unquantifiable. This may include characters who are 3-B for over time universal destruction.
