More tales of "Draven's votals first, lead second"

how did link cut there

I saw Draven's votals on that update and wrote it off as a probable +10-20 for Draven!

Why would the mods let the current thread stay up but take down all future ones? Where's the reasoning?


It makes sense. Not all LoL fans must care about this contest, and I don't think everyone is interested in seeing their subreddit being turned into a rally platform.

So, in a hypothetical situation, what do you guys think would happen if Link managed to win by less than 10 votes? Just a stupidly close victory that nobody expected. Who do you think would be more unbearable, The Link supporters, or the Draven supporters?

As a Draven supporter, I can honestly say we will rub it in the faces of everyone for much longer than we should. Doesn't mean I would at all regret ending Link's reign, though.

Link is suppressing the votals by sheer will.

Honestly, if Draven just holds at 140-150, I think Link is okay with that.

It really is going to come down to Draven's votal intake here. Lopen is absolutely correct about it being the major factor in this match.

I don't know about everyone else, but my only reaction would be a sigh of relief. And possibly a single, deadpan, "in your face Reddit."

At least even if Draven wins, he's looking nice and mortal. I never thought I'd do this because I'm not a huge fan of the character but it's time for me to root for Snake to take the whole thing.

If all these Draven votes are legit, what Link does won't matter with this lead unless the rally topic on reddit falls way off. It's been at #6 for a while now with no signs of moving.
#134 | mikisho | Posted 9/2/2013 6:18:47 AM | message detail
Well, he's not going to be getting the 35 votes Until the next hour I think. But again, with Draven's Votals, Link might end up pulling in 60s or even 100s.

Yeah, I think that was the problem with the rally for this match. It was posted about 3 1/2 hours before the match even started, which causes the topic to die off quicker than usual. Ideally, it should have been posted no more than 1 hour before the start of the match.

Wasn't the MMX/Ryu one posted like 10 minutes prior? If timing these really does matter that might have been the ideal outcome.

Hey, Link's consistently cutting now. Small, but maybe it'll gain momentum and he may have an outside chance of winning it, assuming LoL fans don't simply push rallying when it's close in other sources, like Twitch or Youtube.

Should be hilarious when Draven pushes back, though.

Also if Draven's votes stay where they are Link probably can't win.

I think if they're averaging around 100 it's winnable. At 150 Link would in theory have enough to possibly come back assuming he could be at peak the whole match but the vote intake slowing later would doom him.

Draven is legit stronger in Europe though so I think Draven will bottom out at around 120 average or so just by losing GameFAQs votes and parts of what portion of the rallied votes are legitimate at this point assuming no surge from him. That's slight edge Draven-- more than slight given he's still got some falling to do to get there.

Draven's past 4 Votals
140
135
138
132

It's looking like it's dropping slightly. Not drastic enough, nor consecutive enough to be trusted completely, but it's showing an opening for Link.

The problem for Draven is you get fewer new people coming to the site as the day goes on, he may get a morning vote push, but it should fall off as the day goes on.
