-LusterSoldier- posted... 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. All right, that's what I was thinking. Us not seeing a Teemo rally materialize in the votes right now isn't necessarily indicative of "no rally is coming." Actually, if a Teemo rally does end up coming it'd be fairly interesting to note that in both cases the very first rally attempts seemingly failed or had a slow start. It'd suggest that the rally can't be mobilized immediately and will "waste" some time starting up in any given match. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

I've
been saying since the Draven match that the LoL fanbase detests Teemo
and will more than likely anti-vote him if a rally is held. I don't
expect L-Block to fall below 55%. --- I pwn you all! |
CasanovaZelos posted... I meant that as a compliment. I don't usually learn a new word from video game message boards. No. Unlike Tingle (who owns BTW), a surprisingly large portion of the LoL playerbase likes Teemo. There's a reason RIOT sells plushies of him. It's just that another part of the fanbase dislikes him, because it was an injoke to hate Teemo (hence RIOT posting Teemo Death Counts on their growth updates) that became serious when some maroons missed the point of the joke. |

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. Which is why I'm thinking the Draven rally's planning phase should start around Mario/Duke and the topics trying to convince RIOT to help should start around halfway Division 9, or thereabouts. We want to see Draven storm out of the gate with the power of his adoring fans, not flop for three hours against serious entrants. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... CasanovaZelos posted...I meant that as a compliment. I don't usually learn a new word from video game message boards. The problem with this line of thinking is that Teemo is probably at best a net neutral when balancing rally votes with rally anti-votes due to the bipolar emotions he gives off in the LoL community. This is especially so when against a recognizable game like Tetris, whereas Draven had to deal with the, while excellent, not immediately recognizable competition of Jak and Chie. Teemo will need to be a HUGE net positive with a rally to stand even a puncher's chance. --- I pwn you all! |

I
don't buy that, because I am a firm believer int he silent majority.
The dudes who said they weren't voting for Draven in the topics and
reddits were the majority, and yet he did swing the match completely. I
think Teemo is similar, though admittedly he has a bigger hatebase. He's
not, like, Urgot or something who won't have any rally power. |
Kind
of makes me thankful that I just want Teemo to get to second. He can
split his rally with L-Block all he wants, my Expert Challenge wants
L-Block winning and that scenario is just fine for pushing Teemo into
second! I'd be pretty stunned if Teemo beat L-Block at this point. I'll never rule it out this early, but L-Block is looking great to win here IMO. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Teemo plummeting now. --- Still smilin' :> |
Draven does it all, with style. Teemo can rot in hell. --- ~Victory needs no explanation; defeat allows none.~ |
Jak lead on Draven 65 minutes in: 1369 L-Block lead right now: 2361 for those who want to keep track |
Looks like the first rally is dying --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |
I
mean, I'm confident enough in L-Block winning here that I'm
legitimately more worried that Teemo's rally doesn't show and he loses
to Palutena than I am that it shows up strong enough to beat L-Block.
Not sure I'd be comfortable attacking % chances to these scenarios
though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Good grief L- Block's taking Teemo to the woodshed. Petaluma's holding steady at least! |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Jak lead on Draven 65 minutes in: 1369 Was just about to post this, but I maintain the LoL people hate Teemo and would just vote for the block in any serious rally. --- "I'll attract the enemy with my *human* call.... I'M SO WASTED, I'M SO WASTED!!" |
Damn autocorrect, it's Petaluna! |
Okay I'm having a hard time spelling her name right now. |
armitage999 posted... Okay I'm having a hard time spelling her name right now. :lol |
So were these dying rallies the only thing keeping Teemo afloat even at THAT percentage? --- Still smilin' :> |
This
makes Draven's next match more complicated, was it a one time thing or
will fans give up when they see Draven so far behind or will they go for
the win. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |
charmander6000 posted... This makes Draven's next match more complicated, was it a one time thing or will fans give up when they see Draven so far behind or will they go for the win. I don't think the concept of these massive numbers gets through to people. Remember how many people in the rally thread though Missile could win? |

Here we go with excuses It doesn't matter if it's Teemo or Draven or Ashe or Annie or whatever LoL Champion Put Teemo in Draven match and he would do the same thing The problem is that he is against an opponent that worth something Most of us picked Draven over Jak and we were surprised to see how bad Draven was We did not expect rally,we just presumed that Jak is terrible and Draven won...just how I expected him to Jak is one of those contest losers together with Laharal that are always pathetic weak even against "fair" opponents |
Teemo down 2674 votes. Draven never trailed by that much. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Teemo down 2674 votes. Draven never trailed by that much. L-Block lead at 80 minutes: 2842 Jak lead: 1606 yup |
Draven was even below Chie by over 1,000 votes at one point during the match. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
But Jak match was night match so the vote totals (and thus the lead) were lower... |
Nanis23 posted... But Jak match was night match so the vote totals (and thus the lead) were lower... Difference isn't absurdly significant either however. --- I have Cloud winning this contest, which means I'll beat most of you... Nawt gonna happen >_> |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Teemo down 2674 votes. Draven never trailed by that much. Draven ended up winning by just under 3000 though so in theory he could have come back from more. Though whether such a gap would discourage a rally attempt is another matter. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
xp1337 posted... All right, that's what I was thinking. Us not seeing a Teemo rally materialize in the votes right now isn't necessarily indicative of "no rally is coming." I think it took a while for the Draven rally to finally produce huge spikes in Draven's vote intake because the topic on Reddit became more noticeable as more people started to comment on the topic. If you checked out this page right now, you wouldn't even see the Teemo rally at all: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/ But as more and more people comment on the Teemo rally topic, the rally topic will eventually appear on the hottest topics section and then more people will be aware of the Teemo rally. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
xp1337 posted... TheOneAboveAll posted...Teemo down 2674 votes. Draven never trailed by that much. there's also the fact that the "natural" voters favor L-Block by a larger margin, which could cancel that 3000 on its own |
Why are people just calculating Jak>Draven even though it was Jak>Chie>Draven I think peak lead of Jak was 2582 over Draven |
lol LoL Finally people are starting to realize that rallies are pointless when you have strong likable characters also in the poll. Draven takes a distant third in his next match. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
3000-vote barrier activated. |
I
didn't meant to imply you could translate that over to this match. And
even if you could somehow, then yeah, it's not as simple a matter of
tacking on 3000 here as if nothing changed when you switched matches. I'm just saying, in theory Draven could have trailed Jak by more than he did and still came back. Even then it shouldn't be as simple as 3000 more unless you further add in the rally probably doesn't let up at the end in such a scenario. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

Nanis23 posted... Why are people just calculating Jak>Draven even though it was Jak>Chie>Draven we're comparing L-Block/Teemo and Jak/Draven for the corresponding leads in which L-Block is already at 3000, while Jak was up 1681 at this time |

Finally
people are starting to realize that rallies are pointless when you have
strong likable characters also in the poll. Draven takes a distant
third in his next match. L-Block is about as neutral as they come and Palutena would not have done much better than Jak/Chie --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |
This keeps getting pointed out but I'm going to say it again, Draven has zero chance in the next round. X and Ryu are legitimately much stronger than him as is, so not only will a rally have to bridge a MASSIVE gap, but it will also have to fight against the fact that these are two likable iconic characters that most of the LoL fanbase probably knows and likes too. Such was not the case with Chie and Jak. I'd love to see him put up a fight and make that match interesting but there's simply no way he doesn't get blown out of the water. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
I
only wish that Teemo and Draven had switched bracket spots. I'd love to
see Draven try and pull something off against L-Block, that could've
truly been a great match. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Draven's pre-rallied strength is being doubled by Chie. The extent of rallied votes he needs to prevail will only be getting more ridiculous each round. Especially as the early vote will bury him. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
I'm
going to assume the L-Block lead is a giant troll to try and get it to
win, because this is by far the most retarded match up in the entire
world. --- 3DS Code: 2664-2439-2152 |

ChaosUnown posted... I'm going to assume the L-Block lead is a giant troll to try and get it to win, because this is by far the most retarded match up in the entire world.

I
wouldn't count L-Block out next round, either. Ezio and Auron both
underwhelmed in their matches and we don't need reminded about Block's
multi-way shenanigans. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
