remember to 'message the moderators' if any of the rallies start to get popular.

I'm guessing most of the hardcore LoL fanbois were eagerly sitting at their computers for hours on end to be the first to vote for the latest in a long line of over-priced, overpowered, pay-to-win heroes that Riot has **** out. Without rally topics, Draven should fall off fairly quickly.


Could you not post for the entirety of today? Pretty sure your whining was used as representative of the entire board during Ryu/MMX/Draven.


I think it's kind of cute how he shames all of b8 by not even knowing what pay-to-win means or how LoL works


I played LoL until level 30 and I got my Dota 2 beta key. I understand full well that every new hero Riot releases is extremely unbalanced and overpowered, to trick their preteen fanbois into spending their parent's allowance on this week's generic McHero. On top of that, you can spend real money to buy Runes to give you statboosts. If that's not the very definition of pay-to-win, I don't know what is.


Except all runes can be bought with completely free IP, and anyone with a brain uses IP for everything that isn't skins.

A large number of champions were completely useless on release. Riot is bad at balancing, but it's not always on the side of overpowered.


But it takes time to grind IP, and saving up for Runes prevents you from buying heroes. There's an inherit advantage for people who spend money on the game, in that they can afford the latest OP heroes, and can buy all of the top tier runes long before most other players can max out.

I played the game. I understand how awful a company Riot is (don't get me started on the Pendragon drama)

It took 4 battles, but reddit mods are finally fed up of rally threads.

Just imagine how the whole contest could have been if they had done that in the last match...

And people say rallies are legit. When the results of a whole contest can be decided by whether half a dozen mods in a random subreddit decide to delete some threads, it's anything but legit.

I still need Draven to finish 2nd here though.... >_>

One minute before the match I checked to see where the rally thread was and I saw it was deleted. I made a furious effort to change my expert back to Mewtwo > Draven > Seph.

It's nice to see Draven choke, but I don't need him to f***ing die!

Guys the mods can't stay this consistent all day.

Eventually a topic will get some traction on there and Draven will make huge cuts. Seeing Mewtwo take 100 votes on Draven like he ain't no thing is wonderful, but I'm trying to dampen my expectations here. Draven's fate is completely reliant on the effectiveness of the LoL subreddit moderators.

You can't blame Snake for winning a dumb contest! Blame multiways, not Snake. When you make a crazy bracket with fanbase splitting situations cropping up everywhere you can't be surprised when the ultimate soldier sneaks through to victory.

But everyone against Snake I guess I can deal with that :/

Huh, a subreddit as big as LoL's probably has mods at all time of the day.

All I know is that I have no goddamn idea what to expect from the finals if Draven loses here.

It could be Red/Mewtwo/Snake and I'd still feel like Mewtwo could run away with it.

Anyone who wins this contest will have essentially stumbled on it because of all the BS this season. Even Draven, who has proven himself to be one hit Reddit wonder.

The banner effect will be interesting as well. I assume it will bring in at least 5,000 votes.

Mewtwo, our savior? Ha. He can make it to the finals. That's fine. Know why?

Because Mega Man will be there. The proven Pokemon Killer. He learned Rally from Magikarp. Now it's stronger than ever and he is going to BLAST BURN everyone's face in.

What's funny about Snake is that he and Samus have been the only NNers to not run into any craziness this contest. Everyone else has to put up with Draven and Pokemon and Vivi.

The following games receive my personal recommendation: Ghost Trick. 999. Driver: San Francisco. Rayman Origins. Persona 4. Spec Ops. Just Cause 2. Limbo.

Forget second, Sephiroth could still win this match. This is a massively front-loaded Mewtwo and Draven rally. If those die off, he could come back. Have we all already forgotten the Missingno match?

Also guys Snake can still lose. Even putting aside the unlikely Pikachu/Squirtle upset for a moment, Pokemon doesn't have *that* much overlap with other Nintendo. Mewtwo could slap down Snake next round if he remains supercharged Mega Mewtwo. Or Samus/Mega Man could win if they're a decent bit above Snake naturally and don't get hurt terribly much by Mewtwo's presence.

It would suck for me, but he's not a lock at all if Draven loses today!
