Yeah
I really doubt Bacon does anything to counteract the stuffing here-- as
I said I'm only discussing this because trying to determine the stuffed
number of votes is useful to determine whether Draven can be stopped.
Assuming the 4-500 per 5 estimate is correct he cannot unless global
vote totals increase. If I'm overshooting a bit, it's back on the
table, though. Assuming my estimate is correct Draven would be leading by ~600 anyway so it's almost doubly not worth discussing at the moment. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Another thing to think about-comparing Draven % of the votes per update between this match and the previous Of course this rally started eariler,but I don't think it should change so much Draven is owning X and Ryu harder than he did to Jak and Chie,despite being stronger characters If we can see how much "rallied votes" Jak and Chie got the previous match compared to X and Ryu "rallied votes" it can help quite a bit LoL fans are not supposed to know this is the second round and it's much more important so I really find it weird he gets so much more support than before |
Karma Hunter posted... Silverflash-x posted...I'm not saying that there isn't any stuffing; my point is that it's impossible to know. The simple fact is that this contest has simply never seen a game as popular globally as League of Legends, or even anything in the same category. No, KH. They're not at all comparable, and for a very specific reason. Do you know anything about how Blizzard staff treats the people on its forums? The answer is 'like garbage'. Riot Games couldn't possibly be further than that if they tried - just by being relentlessly positive and constantly present on the forums, they have made the playerbase feel like they are always being heard, pampered and coddled. They have hundreds of employees, and all of them post there, mingling with the fanbase, making it feel like they're your friends and fellow LoL fans. That, I feel, is the root of why this is working. WoW was well-played. LoL is well-loved. |
so um what if Epona loses to Ike or GlaDOS before that chain of events can be catalyzed --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

The simple fact is that this contest has simply never seen a game as popular globally as League of Legends, or even anything in the same category. This is getting into the realms of ridiculousness, even by this match's standards. Once again, I was only addressing a single point - popularity of a game. We've had WoW entities in these contests and they've never made anything but the slightest waves. Whatever further analyses you want to infer is up to you, but LoL is not a singularly unique entity in terms of playership. Heck, on that front, Red Bird was in a match a few days ago. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Karma Hunter posted... StealThisSheen posted...Karma Hunter posted...StealThisSheen posted......So, wait. ...I never said there wouldn't be elevated totals. I said not having elevated totals is not a sign of stuffing, because... As evidenced, most people rallied don't stick around for matches after. If a night match following a day rally only shows SMALL vote increase, then a day match following a night rally is going to show next to nothing. --- SEP Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

The simple fact is that this contest has simply never seen a game as popular globally as League of Legends, or even anything in the same category. No, I get that. But consider it like this: Do you think Farmville gets anything out of a rally? It's not about who's most played when it comes to a favorites poll. It's about who's most liked. And LoL is indubitably not just played, but liked. A lot. |
Draven among LoL fans vs Thrall among WoW fans I think more WoW fans like Thrall personally. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
the finals being draven vs a horse would be something alright who would the third person be.. charizard yeah best finals |
IngmarBirdman posted... Okay so here's one way to look at it: Why would Bacon care about this? He'll just see the numbers and go "wow man, look at those numbers!" --- Ace Detective for Hire |
Lopen posted... Draven among LoL fans vs Thrall among WoW fans I think more WoW fans like Thrall personally. Probably, but on the other hand, who gives that much of a **** about WoW compared to LoL? |

In less than one hour this match will have the highest votals of this contest so far and we will still have 8 more hours This is crazy |
Karma Hunter posted... This is getting into the realms of ridiculousness, even by this match's standards. Once again, I was only addressing a single point - popularity of a game. We've had WoW entities in these contests and they've never made anything but the slightest waves. Whatever further analyses you want to infer is up to you, but LoL is not a singularly unique entity in terms of playership. You're right, but I'll make two points: 1. League of Legends is 5-6 times as popular as World of Warcraft was at its peak. 2. League of Legends is much more character-driven than WoW. In WoW, players get attached their created character, unique among the entire population of the game. None of the popular named characters from the game are playable, to my knowledge. League, on the other hand, has a set of pre-made, playable characters, each with a distinct personality. --- Q. If your canoe is in a tree with its headlights on, how many pancakes does it take to get to the moon? A. None. Snakes don't have armpits. |
You're
grossly underestimating how popular WoW actually was, dude. Honestly
I'm pretty sure peak WoW craps on peak League as far as playership goes and it was pay to play so there's probably more passion among the playerbase there given they're paying money to play. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
yes there are two things about the lol community they love dumb things they love ruining other people's fun draven is both! |
This is going to break the Kefka/Vercetti record for most stats topics in a day, huh? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Zinganger posted... He's still increasing. Well, he's routinely getting 70% of the vote. Heck he's had a few updates where he's nearly tripled both MMX and Ryu combined. He has to keep going up with those numbers <_< --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
AxemRedRanger posted... This is going to break the Kefka/Vercetti record for most stats topics in a day, huh? Just wait for Draven/Link then...! |
AxemRedRanger posted... This is going to break the Kefka/Vercetti record for most stats topics in a day, huh? Wasn't that four? I feel like discussion without a close match isn't going to break that unless Bacon does something ridiculous. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |

Honestly I'm pretty sure peak WoW craps on peak League as far as playership goes and it was pay to play so there's probably more passion among the playerbase there given they're paying money to play. No, there were actually official comparisons made. LoL has already eclipsed Warcraft at its peak! I think it was one of those charts RIOT released. Googling something like 'LoL chart update' should probably find it for you. |
I
think by the time Draven/Link actually rolls around we'll have Draven
fatigue. Unless Link can actually put up a fight it'll mostly just be a
morbid fascination with seeing our erstwhile god of the contests get
massacred by a character who he could break 90% on in normal conditions. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Masato_Tanaka posted... How much is Draven gonna beat Link by at this point? Might come close to a tripling, honestly. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Honestly I'm pretty sure peak WoW craps on peak League as far as playership goes and it was pay to play so there's probably more passion among the playerbase there given they're paying money to play. Uhhh, peak League of Legends gets over 12 million players A DAY. That's more than WoW's peak subscriber base total. And comparing userbase is stupid. The real difference is clear. LoL fans care enough to sustain a rally like this. WoW and other userbases haven't shown that ability. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
3:10 update Draven: 21793 L-block in 2007: 15212 Might as well see if he can beat entire matches from 2010/GotD on his own. |
This
is the point where I accept defeat and now im going to rage about
losing more points by having X>Ryu rather than Ryu>X This is so stupid this actually annoys me more than Draven winning |

Honestly I'm pretty sure peak WoW craps on peak League as far as playership goes and it was pay to play so there's probably more passion among the playerbase there given they're paying money to play. no, you're grossly underestimating how popular LoL actually is now. and there is just as much opportunity to pay for LoL even after you own it, it's optional but with direct rewards for doing so. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
So he's tripled X. Probably ~7 more updates before he doubles both. |
Some insane LoL fans care enough to set up a few machines to stuff 400 votes an update yeah. WoW could do this too if it had the right people. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

The
real reason Draven is winning so hard; LoL's servers are down. Ranked
queues stopped at 1:30 EST, and the whole server went down for
maintenance 15 minutes ago. I guess the players went to reddit instead
of bed. --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |

No it's not, you have no idea what you're talking about. Link isn't capable of breaking 90% on even the weakest incarnation of L-Block. Heck, Draven may not be capable of that. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

DravenFEAR - the maintenance is actually to put a "Vote Draven" splash in the main lobby linking to this poll If it happens,it will make Draven get 90% here |
You know what else explains Draven not decreasing? 400 stuffed votes per 5 minutes --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
