So basically

Anti stuffing measures were a fraud
Draven was being stuffed all match
Either a pissed off Link fan is returning fire or the same stuffer is just screwing with SB

So, legit question here.


Apparently some 40% of the poll's pageviews come from reddit. But the reddit rallies have been getting deleted consistently by the mods for a while now. The LoL official forum rally only represents 5% of the pageviews.

So what's going on? How is Draven beasting, with traffic coming from reddit, without a rally topic up at all? I'm not pro-Link or saying there's stuffing, I'm just interested in knowing how it's possible.

This is not Reddit traffic. The Reddit rally is nothing compared to what it was before, yet Draven was still pulling in 270-300 vote updates until an hour ago, just after going even with Shepard.

This is simply a vote stuffer masking his 'http_referer' value.

If you're able to stuff this many votes, and launch a DDOS attack that shuts down the site for 90 minutes, masking your http_referer is a joke.

It's more than likely just 1 guy the whole contest yeah. I think he got greedy in round 2 and made it a bit obvious so he scaled it back today. But maybe with the board outcry and SB's post claiming legit votes he's finally decided to let the cat out of the bag. Who even knows at this point

I believe Draven was legit before the attack, if he was there it was very scaled back.

Honestly, Draven dropping off so dramatically right now is the best evidence I've seen that he was being stuffed this whole time.

His vote intake followed the posted rally quite well, once it was taken down Link really came to town.

Romero did the same thing.

After the board starting saying how suspicious Kefka was, he starting stuffing Vercetti.

Stuffer is clearly just playing mind games here. He knows he has god mode on with Allen doing f***-all, so he's messing with us by stuffing Link.
