I
don't think Bacon was ditching four-ways even if Link won, and further I
wouldn't trade L-Block's run for 2008 being all 1v1. But that's me. |
CasanovaZelos posted... I just found L-Block boring from the beginning. It tore the contest up, but in a way that would only lessen the impact of any future contest. It essentially came down to exploiting the format of the contest. And L-Block is in no way a character, and its inclusion was a dumb one-off joke that for some reason gained traction. If we could get a legitimate character doing the same thing L-Block did, that'd be amazing. Draven and Teemo are not the characters that deserve that, though. So basically, it's dumb unless you happen to like the character? --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
L-Block is the only time I liked rallying. I'd say L-Block is about the same as last contest probably. The joke should've already died there and it's still from a game with amazing playrate, so the 2010 strength should be quite accurate. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
I'm going to assume Casanova doesn't play League --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
The LoL Teemo thread died 15 minutes ago. I don't think we'll see a rally come out of that one. Gotta keep an eye on reddit. I just realized there's a chance that the exposure that LoL is giving their matches could also seriously help some characters like, say, Cirno. |
I think he would've been more inclined to keep it a one time thing if Link ends up winning the contest easily. 2007 was a good contest overall, and for lots of reasons other than L-Block. But 2008 and especially the Games Contest really didn't need to see that format reused. 2007 was just lightning in a bottle and Allen wanted to recapture it if he could, to no avail. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |

Anyway, Missingno coming for Squall. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |

Teemo back down in percentage again. --- Still smilin' :> |
My
main reason was how L-Block made the contest look. He carried
essentially the same voting block throughout the entire contest. He
didn't necessarily get stronger throughout the contest, but the format
set it up where the farther L-Block got in, the less he needed to pull
off while having a voter base completely outside of the standard voting
block. In a multi-way contest, easily rallied characters like L-Block
actually get stronger as their opponents get stronger, because the
legitimate votes are getting split more and more. Luckily, this contest
only requires one of the serious options to get above an outside force
instead of two. --- Green is not a creative color http://themanicdepressives.wordpress.com/ |

Alright, someone managed to correctly set up a rally topic on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1jw45q/support_teemo_in_gamefaqs_character_battle/ That person actually linked directly to the poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

If we could get a legitimate character doing the same thing L-Block did, that'd be amazing. Draven and Teemo are not the characters that deserve that, though. It has more to do with it being a completely outside force. If Draven could pull this off with the normal site goers, that'd be cool, but Draven or Teemo winning would in no way represent this site. It's essentially a measurement of how far GameFAQs has fallen in popularity that an invasion of another website could completely dictate our contest. At least L-Block was an overall movement. --- Green is not a creative color http://themanicdepressives.wordpress.com/ |

CasanovaZelos posted... At least L-Block was an overall movement. that's why the L-Block run would be better than a LoL run |
These rally threads are just going nowhere. I wonder where Draven was getting so many votes consistently from? --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Who
said I have issues with Link winning? I'd much rather see the day where
Link actually loses than a series of contests that devolve into
everyone losing. Link keeps winning because he deserves to win, it's as
simple as that. It's a popularity contest, and Link has proven time and
time again to be one of the most popular video game characters, and
that's especially true on this site. --- Green is not a creative color http://themanicdepressives.wordpress.com/ |

So what you're saying is that we found the ultimate SFF-resistant character and you don't like it. |
Is Draven/X/Ryu going to be night or a day match? I don't think LoL has so much power outside of Europe (and yes I know it's popular all around the world but it's fact that most of Draven votes came from Europe..) |
Denzokuken posted... These rally threads are just going nowhere. I wonder where Draven was getting so many votes consistently from? Devin basically confirmed it came from Reddit. I guess it takes a while for the rallies to pick up steam. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Oh yeah go Teemo I HATE LoL and have no idea who Teemo is, but I have him as an upset. need dem points --- I have Cloud winning this contest, which means I'll beat most of you... LOL Nope. |
Nanis23 posted... Is Draven/X/Ryu going to be night or a day match? Night. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Being
this far behind a Tetris block and a deuteragonist from a tertiary
Nintendo series probably demoralizes a group that already seems to not
care for the character representing them. Not expecting any rallies,
personally. |
Denzokuken posted... These rally threads are just going nowhere. I wonder where Draven was getting so many votes consistently from? This somewhat makes me doubt the rallying power, unless Teemo really is just nothing to them. I do hope Allen is checking for vote stuffing, because as of right now there is pretty much zero effect from these rallies. Palutena is still gaining 50 or more votes on Teemo every update and she's fodder. Jak is a least a high fodder or low midcard character... I'm just not sure how "legit" Draven's rally was. --- Still smilin' :> |
The
L-Block run was amazing. Even though DK was in the match, I knew
something was wrong once Kirby go eliminated. But I wish he'd never been
included in a contest since then. He would have remained an undefeated
champion. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
I am reasonably sure I'm not alone in the LoL playerbase when I say teemo is a little piece of **** that needs to burn --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
Europe is still wide awake right now so that should not be an issue --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |
The
Draven rally took a few hours to get going, but when did the rally
attempts start? I'm asking because I'm not so sure rally attempts
failing immediately is a cause for concern... yet. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Can someone rally for Teemo on the official LoL facebook? I don't really want my friends to see me doing this..so go |

Nanis23 posted... Can someone rally for Teemo on the official LoL facebook? no |
-LusterSoldier- posted... More topics from the LoL forums about this match: It seems that part of the LOL community hates Teemo. Rallies there actually help L-block as the players want Teemo to die. |
Rad Link 5 posted...

Not expecting any rallies, personally. That was an intense post. --- Green is not a creative color http://themanicdepressives.wordpress.com/ |
Palutena's increased her lead by exactly 50 votes each of the last three updates. Such a pretty spreadsheet. |

I'm asking because I'm not so sure rally attempts failing immediately is a cause for concern... yet. People didn't make topics elsewhere until 3 AM? I know that's when we actually started seeing it in the votes, I'm asking when we started seeing people trying to rally. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

The
Draven rally took a few hours to get going, but when did the rally
attempts start? I'm asking because I'm not so sure rally attempts
failing immediately is a cause for concern... yet. Draven was mostly going down in percent, he jumped a small bit at the 44 minute mark and 1:24 mark before taking over. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |
http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1i4u4m/support_draven_in_the_gamefaqs_character_battle/ If you hover over the text says "26 days ago", you will see the message "Fri Jul 12 04:48:34 2013 UTC" pop-up in your browser. Based on that, the Draven rally was posted around 12:48 AM EST and the rally didn't start to pick up until after 3:00 AM. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I meant that as a compliment. I don't usually learn a new word from video game message boards. So, is rallying Teemo among the LoL fanbase similar to trying to rally Zelda fans to vote for Tingle? --- Green is not a creative color http://themanicdepressives.wordpress.com/ |
I go from +6 to 0 if Palutena stays in 2nd and I'm in the "4 other users tied with" category! Maybe I'm just projecting my own thoughts here but I have to imagine most people went L-Block > Teemo > Palutena. With a few who went Teemo > L-Block > Palutena. I'm not really that worried that getting this "wrong" will be damaging. I'd be surprised if this match shakes up Expert Challenge all that much no matter the result. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?
