So going by vote totals, it would appear that Shepard is the favorite over Aeris right?

S/He got more votes in a Day match, against stronger opponents (Olimar/Kain). Or is it Hero/Rinoa > Olimar/Kain?


Commander Shepard got 76.62% on Kain
Commander Shepard got 64.67% on Captain Olimar

Aerith Gainsborough got 66.43% on Hero
Aerith Gainsborough got 68.67% on Rinoa Heartilly

Basically, would you pick Olimar or Hero?

Jak losing gives me -2 instead of -4, so I guess that's better? I'll take it.

and yes everyone should vote Yuri.

Also does a male Shep pic get that much extra strength?

Was Aerith hampered by the presence of another FF girl? (The votals from a 3 JRPG poll would almost certainly have taken a hit)

Also, keep in mind Aerith had to contend with possible Rinoa LFF and Shepard had a female pic if you think it makes any difference.

Hero > Olimar indeed.

Just realized I actually picked Ryu for both 1st and 3rd in the expert challenge -.- Of course, if Yuri beats Face that wont make a difference. I've literally gotten 0 points in all matches since Olimar/Kain and I only abstained in Draven/Jak/Chie.

Screwr expert challenge. Going for the usual thing!

It would be hillarious seeing Draven take advantage of Capcom LFF and rallying to win that, though I don't give a damn about LoL so someone else getting rallied would be funnier. I doubt it will happen though.

On a related note, can Teemo beat L-Block?

Draven v Ryu/MMX could be tight, I'd lean towards no.

Teemo v L-Block should be a slamdunk for the ralliers.

Teemo should be stopped by Auron at least.

Hopefully anti-rallies can be created against these two. Sorry, not gonna jump on rally trains when it's LoL characters.

Most of the Teemo 'hate' is more tongue-in-cheek than anything

I actually think he has a much higher ceiling than Draven does

one of those rallies said "Draven and teemo (ugh) made it in"

there's also a twitch stream dedicated to replays of teemo dying

it'll be much harder to rally him

especially when the lolwacky choice of l block is in the match with him

They are hated by the community,Teemo...not so much
#135 | pyresword | Posted 7/12/2013 10:17:06 AM | message detail
As someone who has played League consistently for three years I don't think there is any champion who is hated by more of the fanbase then Teemo, so make of that what you will. Of course, there are plenty of champions where everyone is just neutral towards them (ie champs like Galio, Caitlyn, etc), so all things considered Teemo is probably one of the more popular champs in that many people like him. In something like this though, i think the rally for Teemo would be one of the weakest just because of the amount of people who despise him.

INTENSE RALLIES. I estimate there were about 10000 rallied votes. The match would have only gotten about 29000 votes without any rallies.

Wow, last night I left off with 'lol LoL' and wake up to THIS result. Holy crap. Also, I couldn't help but pick up on this example of sheer wrongness last night:

KanzarisKelshenPosted 7/12/2013 6:03:47 AMmessage detail


No. DOTA 2 is a crappy bandwagoner, the result of a company with too much money on their hands trying to ride RIOT's gravy train without understanding just how hard they worked to get there, and a game that just won't die and go away because too many people are stuck in the past and too groggy to change. League is, if you'll excuse the pun, LEAGUES beyond DOTA. And you're seeing how now. You'd never get Traxex or Chen or Tiny or Leoric or whoever I don't give a **** rallied this way, because effort matters. Being real matters. Becoming more than a game, an experience matters. This is why Draven is winning now, and I know I just took the bait but I don't care. GO DRAVEN!


Dota 2 is a crappy bandwagoner? League of Legends stole the Dota formula through a series of underhanded tactics (the whole Pendragon situation) and is a pay to win game with sub-par graphics and the depth of a wading pool. I for one would rather play the game with deeper mechanics, superior soundtrack, a better interface, a fanbase with an average age >13 and that doesn't require me to pay real life money in order to not be at a disadvantage.

Add to the Riot's propensity to release new heroes that are extremely unbalanced in order to trick their guillable fanbase into shelling out cash and you have one of the worst video games of the last 5 years.

Guinsoo created Techies, not Icefrog. Guinsoo works for Riot.

And there's basically no similarity between Techies/Teemo, besides Techies' landmine and Teemo's poison shroom.
