That draven match couldn't come any sooner, even as an avid lol player, i don't like him and i think everyone's overrating the magnitude of the rallying. Of course he can still win, but somehow I'm not feeling it anymore, i do have him in my bracket though.

no way Draven wins, this is gamefaqs no one gives a **** about someone like Draven on this site.

Tina ISN'T well-liked by BL2 fans. Just goes to show how fodder-esque Tharja and Juliet were. Which is to say: really.

Top 10 league champs for contest strength

Garen
Sona
Ahri
Veigar (BMF)
Ashe
Master Yi
Katarina
Twisted Fate
Mordekaiser
... maybe Teemo or Draven for that last spot

But yeah I think only the first five would be significantly above the field.

No problem!

I'm wondering about this line of thinking though. I mean, I don't play League, but I play Dota. I hate Antimage but I'd vote for him if he were in a contest, just because he'd be representing Dota.

Ditch Sona/Ahri/Twisted Fate and slot in Ezreal and that's a decent list.

She's made a couple cuts in the last half hour, and Hero's gains are starting to dwindle a bit, but she hasn't gotten over that hump quite yet. I'm not sure yet whether or not she'll manage to make a comeback. 300 votes isn't a whole lot of cushion with 6 hours left to go, but it all depends on what the trends do for the rest of the day.

This. Granted, I will be voting for Jak, but being a personality less character from a large cast of playable characters hasn't stopped the likes of Smash, Street Fighter, or Mortal Kombat before. Don't see why it would do so for League of Legends.

I know Rinoa losing to Hero is mostly because of SFF, even though it would be cool if Hero could beat her without that, but I think a little bit might be because of that terrible looking picture. At least I want it to be.

That's 3 straight very small cuts for Rinoa. But you can't help but think that Hero could easily blast this all back. She hasn't been able to sustain a stall for more than 20 minutes yet.
#180 | Greyfeld | Posted 7/11/2013 12:30:02 PM | message detail
Hero just doesn't want to die. He never loses more than 20 votes before he gets an update that wins them all back.

After Rinoa bombed this badly, I am very suspicious towards Barret Wallace and Locke Cole because they are unproven FF characters with no previous contest appearances, so we don't know what kind of strength they have. It's better to be on the cautious side and assume they can bomb really hard.

For Barret Wallace, I will not be surprised if Professor Layton manages to pull off 1st place in that match. I think the Oracle users are being too aggressive in predicting Barret Wallace to get over 55% here.

For Locke Cole, I will not even consider the idea of him beating Ness in his match. Locke Cole may be weak enough to allow CATS to threaten him for 2nd place.

Professor Layton is barely over the turbofodder line. I would put Cait Sith over Layton.

Ness is going to beat Locke over the head with his SSB bat. If Earthbound was all he had for contest strength, that'd be one thing. But Smash grants characters strength above and beyond whatever niche or crappy Nintendo game they originated from. And as much as I love Locke, he's pretty far down on the totem pole, even by FFVI standards.

From what I can see from LoL champion popularity (not 30 yet,but I got one account 27 and another 24)
The most popular champions are-
Akali,Ashe,Blitzcrank,Ezreal,Garen,Lee Sin,Lux,Master Yi,Teemo and Vayne

#185 | GloriousSweater | Posted 7/11/2013 12:47:05 PM | message detail
With a game like LoL (or at least with a game like what I perceive LoL to be, because I know very little about the game), I don't think the "champion popularity" will matter very much. Draven could easily be viewed as a representative for the entire game against these foreign foes from different games/series/genres. I'm simply banking on the LoL playrate (and thus, Draven's recognizability, because only people who play LoL would recognize the characters) to be so pitiful on GameFAQs that it won't even matter.

I have trouble envisioning the plausibility of a Jak loss without LoL rallies, and even rallies might not be enough.

No way Layton beats Barret. First of all, Barret is from FFVII first of all, which should easily be enough in it's own. Also, don't forget Rinoa is getting SFF'd here, and we don't know Hero's strength.

This. No FFVII character has ever disappointed in his or her first appearance. If Barret is anywhere near as good as Cid Highwind, Layton's hindquarters are turf. Layton got more than doubled by Isaac.

After the Tharja/Tiny Tina match I'm starting to believe that game origin is much more important than pictures.

I'm keeping Jak at first I've decided. But, I almost want to take Chie over Draven now. Person 4 is much more well received (on this site) and I believe Chie devastatingly bad photogenic quality is becoming less and less of an issue.

But LoL is huge too. This is going to be a barn burner.

Even if Barret does turn out to be the weakest FFVII character not named Zolom, there's no way he loses his first round match. His competition is just way too bad.

Now he could end up third in round 2 against Sonic/Dracula depending on how that goes, but there's no doubt about round 1.

Then we'd have the whole cast in. Jenova too.
