Draven has gained tremendously in every single part of the world.

There are no real signs this is stuffing.


Yeah, where in god's name is this coming from if it's stuffing?

That was like a 500 vote difference... How the hell are they getting this many votes from one Reddit post?


I'm looking at the map and I'm still not seeing where it's actually coming from. A lot of stuff like 33/33/33 or 50/25/25.

Even if the rally is legit, I doubt it's from Reddit. It's probably from within LoL games or the forum, alt-tabbing isn't hard.


Not from LoL. No links from Riot on the client. This is all fans. Just fans. If Draven wins, my target for next round is persuading RIOT to link to him in the client. We're doing this, man. WE'RE MAKING THIS HAPPEN!

I still find it hilarious how Draven's actual strength is bottom tier fodder and his contest rally strength is beyond ridiculous. That being said I'm voting Link in R3 since I don't know Draven or Shepard. Draven doesn't appear to need the help anyways with votals being so pathetic they can be influenced this much. Might as well call it "Reddit's Character Battle" or something next year.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since absolutely zero Gurus have Draven going beyond round 3, him winning the whole contest wouldn't affect Link backers, right? I mean, 100% of Gurus have Link in the Final, so no one should be eliminated, right?

Anyone who thinks this is anything but massive stuffing is kidding themselves. The reddit thread has 40 comments, no way this is resulting in thousands of votes for Draven only. If this was a real rally, Ryu and X would be increasing as well, since half the comments in the reddit thread are people saying they are voting X or Ryu


B_T, you don't get it. You still don't. Don't check comments. Check upvotes. LoL is the silent majority of gaming, right now, except today, it's not silent. It's decided it's time to roar, and GameFAQS quakes in fear of its cry.

I'm not going to lie and say I predicted this - hell f***ing no I didn't - but in hindsight, there was always the potential that this kind of thing would happen. Reddit is a far, far more effective rallying tool than anything we've seen in the past. It's a site that thrives on links, and popular games have their own subreddits - sometimes with tens of thousands of subscribers apiece. The LoL one has over 300k. Even 4chan rallies really can't touch that kind of potential.

My advice? If you want to see the LAW upheld, you should haul ass to /r/zelda and /r/nintendo come round three, and try to recruit the combined 100k+ subscribers in them. This type of rallying ain't going anywhere - it's the future, baby.

You do realize that for 3 hours Draven was looking like fodder and losing to Persona right? Fine if you want to gloat about winning, but at least have the balls to call this a rally and don't pretend LoL fans gave a damn about this contest without one.

LoL fans are a bunch of 13 year old children with anger issues that don't have the brainpower to play a game with REAL mechanics like Dota 2. Additionally, these scumbag teenagers think that releasing overpowered heroes every 2 weeks to milk their fanbase's allowances is a good thing.

The worst part is, couldn't we see this coming? IIRC Mass Effect did this once before already. In other words...if you think your character deserves to win, go! Hurry! Don't waste time! Go right now to the Capcom subreddit and post a link! Get asses in seats! Hurry! THIS is your chance to turn the match around!

I feel like the comments are going to be misleading. The anti-Draven people are more likely to leave a comment than the ones voting for Draven.

People really need to stop moaning and complaining about cheating and stuffing and understand the situation.

This is a potential mega rally. Like I said a few topics back, the LoL subreddit has 334,302 SUBSCRIBERS. If even 10% of the subreddit decided to vote for Draven, which really might be an underestimate considering how early it is and that there's currently almost 9000 people viewing the LoL subreddit, that's OVER THIRTY THOUSAND VOTES.

Seriously, stop whining all sanctimoniously that the contest is ruined and all that. More traffic to GameFAQs is a good thing considering how bad the votals have been this year. Who cares if it's Draven or L-Block.

I swear people have so much irrational hate for LoL that it turns them into pathetic pre-teens.

I cannot believe I am about to rally for Link to win a GameFAQs contest match.

And you know what'll happen if we do kill Draven with Link?

Enough of them will think "HEY THIS IS FUN" and stick around, leaving Snake with no chance.
