At least we get to see Snake vs Mario in the final, Draven winning is a foregone conclusion.


Eh I've been one of the biggest proponents for Snake > Mario in a fair match but Draven being there is going to skew things way out of whack. Mario should easily coast over Snake, but even if Snake were to beat Mario I wouldn't take it as legit.

Meant quadrupling.

in that case it's pretty obviously going to be the Ryu quintupling. he's not far from that now.

I noticed you were looking at the bonus match, which was extremely frontloaded at the beginning of the match and appeared to be on track to break 200000 votes. But the vote totals slowed down considerably and only managed about 165000 votes.

If you use Link/Cloud/L-Block/Snake, there were 41552 votes at 4:02 AM.

I have to admit it's hard to hate on Draven that much when we're likely to get Chie doubling Link from it in the stats.

So, in the low-but-not-zero chance of SBAllen removing nearly all of Draven's votes in the morning, do you guys think LoL fans will launch some sort of "cyber attack" at GameFAQs as retaliation? I know almost nothing about LoL's fanbase but they seem to have a bad reputation.

If you think most LoL fans are computer savvy to create a system that can bypass the already-in-place vote stuffing security, you severely overestimate them.

LoL is not like a fighting game. Yuck. Two entirely different genres. No one from either genre has ever had any success in the other, and I doubt more than one or two people ever will.


Define success, because ClakeyD could qualify for this, for example.

If you're defining success as "able to play at a competitive level," which you shouldn't, then sure.

But ClakeyD will never win a tournament at a major. The only Top 8 I even know of him making at one was, the time Tokido Raging Demoned him to death, which is incidentally the thing he's most famous for. I wouldn't ever bet on him making another, either. He's definitely not a "top player." I can't speak on how he's done in MOBAs.

I mean Indonesian Banjo is practically a statistical impossibility, you'd think enough people would vote for him RANDOMLY with that kind of a sample size

I don't know if they'd necessarily do that, but there'd certainly be a lot of bile written about GameFAQs (and its userbase, probably) and it would be permanently controversial within the fanbase.

If that were to happen, it might make it very hard to link to GameFAQs from the LoL subreddit...!

If you expect some kind of DDoS,no
They are keyboard warriors and if anything they will register and troll and spam this board
But Gamefaqs got harsh limitations for new users so no

So say Lopen's right and there are 400 stuffed votes per update

What's confusing me is... Where are they coming from? Even a bot still has to "vote" from SOMEWHERE.

Are we saying LoL fans are smart enough to have the bots vote from literally everywhere

...Except Wyoming.

Skynet took over Wyoming too. It was met with heavy resistance a couple updates ago, but Skynet's still winning.

And Indonesia.

But yes, that is what the leading theory is. LoL fans are either so many working from so many different places, or so crafty that they can make worldwide stuffing attempt look real.

This isn't the game itself or even anything near important to anyone who is voting for Draven though. This is something they see on Riot or Reddit, vote for Draven, and then chuckle to themselves when they see he's winning. Potentially they may proceed to put something about That's so Draven, DravenFAQs, or League of Draven and they go back to surfing whatever they were doing. Nobody is stuffing for Draven

I'll not be tricked into an endless rallying stunlock of these contests. As far as I'm convinced, Draven's already saved the character contests by forcing Bacon's hand back to 1v1 64 character brackets.

Good luck getting the requisite nominations from registered users, Draven!

Nobody's gonna wanna see this again. Unless he doesn't care about participation at all (and that's... doubtful, considering the prize money), he'll have to change it up.

I don't know!

But then I'm of the belief that L-Block and its rally were responsible for 2008 sticking with the same format to try and get a repeat performance so I half expect Bacon to keep this up for at least one more try to see what happens.

I mean, if he cared what we thought the last few contests would have been structured differently!
